**Why Transparent Cable?
As we value Risk and Reward to achieve the level of fidelity in our recordings, we look at everything in our signal chain to get us to that next level. Thanks to our hifi Stereo friends at The Sound Environment, we were introduced to Transparent Cable, and we firmly believe that Transparent Cable is the cabling solution that will get us to that next level, utilizing their power cables on our monitors, Apollo x8p, and tube microphone power supply units to achieve a level of realism and balance that is superior to most in the market.
