Seller's Description

Transparent Audio ULTRA GEN 5 Speaker Cables More gear to clear from an old customer, here we have a set of TRANSPARENT AUDIO Ultra speaker cables, these are Generation 5 and at the pinnacle of their design and production. This set is also 12ft long! Not easy to find longer Hi-End cables like this on the used market. Standout traits of the ULTRA is their clean separation and defined 3d imaging, micro detail and deep bass, whilst retaining that warm musicality.    These were purchased xmas 2020 and 5 months later replaced with even higher spec cables 🫢 so they have had little use, and are in mi

About Transparent Audio

Transparent Audio was founded in 1980 in Saco, Maine, by audio enthusiasts Jack Sumner, Karen Sumner, and Carl Smith, who initially distributed high-end products like the Norwegian Electrocompaniet amplifiers and the iconic Well Tempered Turntable. Evolving from distribution, the company entered manufacturing in the mid-1980s, first with MIT cables before launching its own innovative line in 1993. This heritage of passion-driven innovation has defined Transparent as a pioneer in audio connectivity, with breakthroughs like patented network technology, unique cable geometries, and system-specific calibration introduced in the 1990s.

The brand focuses exclusively on premium cables and related components, including interconnects, loudspeaker cables, digital audio cables, HDMI cables, AC power cords, and power conditioners. Transparent eschews amplifiers, speakers, turntables, DACs, or headphones, concentrating instead on transmission solutions that minimize signal distortion and maximize sonic transparency. Their Reference line, debuted in 1994, established this niche, bolstered by ongoing refinements and an owner-friendly upgrade program.

Positioned firmly in the high-end audiophile market, Transparent commands respect among discerning buyers and professionals for delivering pristine, nuanced sound reproduction in world-class systems. Decades of awards, relentless R&D, and a reputation for pushing cable technology boundaries cement its status as a leader, where cables are treated as equals to components themselves.
