Strengths:    neutral, soundstage and dynamics are better than Musiclink Super. Actually it is a Bicable and better than regular Ultra Biwire in dynamics and bass.

Weaknesses:    Price, big network boxes

Bottom Line:

First of all, this is a review of Ultra Bicable not Ultra single or biwire.
As I wrote it for the Ultra XLR interconnectors review, I decided to go for Ultra Bicable for performance/price and feasibility of using with upgraded components for the rest of my system in future.
It is better than Super in all aspects, actually better than regular Ultra biwire. Bicable consists two seperate Ultra cables sharing the same jacket and enables the speakers directly seeing the signal from the power amp. Although this is a little bit harder solution for power amp since it will deliver more current, it is better for controlling the lower frequencies and dynamics. For Rotel RB-1090 my power amp, it is not even a question!
This cable is totally transparent and neutral, highly recommended, especially with powerful solid state amps and power demanding biwirable speakers.
System:
Audio Aero Capitol 24/192 CD processor/preamp directly connected to power amp
Rotel RB-1090 power amp
B&W Nautilus 803 speakers
Transparent Ultra XLR, Ultra Bicable

Strengths:    merveilleux...

Weaknesses:    aucun..., si le prix ?

Bottom Line:

Incomparable à tout ce que j'avais écouté auparavant! une présence/ambiance sonore etonnante, les moindres détails apparaissent. Trouvé à un prix très intéressant sur eBay USA. Un seule reproche, je n'en possède qu'une paire, et neuf, c'est très au-dessus de mon budget !

Strengths:    More dynamic shading, cleaner bass, smoother midrange, resonant richness

Weaknesses:    Expensive!!!

Bottom Line:

In the past I've found interconnects to make more difference than speaker wires. These were an exception. I used them to connect an Accuphase A50 to a Martin Logan Prodigy.

Immediately I was taken aback by an increased sense of listening to live music as opposed to a good stereo. Even after experienceing a similar incremental improvement after the insertion of the MusicLink Ultra XLR my reaction was still, "Can this be real". I didn't perceive any obvious frequency response changes.

One Reviewer on the transparent web site warned not to try these cables unless you could afford them since the experience would forever spoil you. Although I've questioned my sanity, I love these cables.
