Upgrading Speaker Cables: Wireworld Silver Eclipse or Transparent Audio Ultra?

Mr.  hifiman5
Wrong!
"Purity of conductors, nature of dielectric, cable geometry, connector quality all matter."
   
Purity: Did you know, that the copper wire industry STD. for copper purity for electric use, is 99.98%. That's the worst!
All purity you may add (none was proven beyond the claim it is!) can improve that by 0.02%.
There is no way that would make any sonic difference.

Nature of electric apply to all circuits and wires to do with electric circuitry. None but Audio cable have that property.
NASA, Military, Biomedical, Measuring Instruments, cell phones, computers, cars industry or any you may bring, way more important than audio, work without that Geometry, snake oil or "nature of dielectric" that no engineering institute from MIT to local college ever teach.
Save it from me, serve it to the ignorants. I have a degree in Electronics.

Let’s start with what I wrote, I said Radio Shack, new better cables "sounded" better, not you own radio shack cables. That being said, you use to be able to buy a lot of good thing at Radio Shack.

So a degree in electronics makes you what?

Not able to learn NOW? Your all filled up. Can’t put another smart thing in that head... LOL

You’ve learned it all, now you know the difference, between a mechanic and an you, "The engineer".
Mechanics never stop learning, they just die.

The first thing engineers use to learn on a job site, was, LISTEN to the ol mechanic. He’s got the hands and the EARS, to hear the problem.
I’ve never met, ONE that could.. I had to teach every, young engineer, old engineer, and "The engineer", what to listen for. I have worked with some GREAT, sound, civil, and mechanical, engineers. All the electrical engineers became electricians, so they could get paid, when they worked. LOL

Engineers make things, mechanics fix things, engineers make!

So we’re clear, many thing I use to fix, an engineer, put their hands on. Though they new what they were talking about, just like you... It ALWAYS took a mechanic or just a GRUNT to finish the whole thing.. Look at NASA, same gig.. mechanics not engineers put the WHOLE thing together. Same UNION.. IAM.

What a person can and can’t hear, can’t always be measured.
Some can hear it, some can’t.
Some THINK they can hear it, when there is no difference.
Others, won’t hear it, if there is a difference. THEY know, what I hear...Sure they do.. DF and la-te-da..

I wish you well, on your quest, to inform the world about cables,
BUT the earth IS FLAT.. and everyone know that.

and I have no STDs, last check anyways... You know your STDs and my STDs might be different.
Last DF measurement, that is..

Would you be able to hear a difference if there was one? Would you be able to realize the natural decay of a brushed cymbal into the soundspace? Would you hear the wood versus the plastic tipped drumstick? How about the natural layering of sound from a live symphony orchestra recording?

Where do those musically relevant nuances live? Cable-wise they are revealed or obscured in the "Purity of conductors, nature of dielectric, cable geometry, connector quality"

Can you hear those nuances that bring listeners closer to the performance? Probably not as you are likely a prisoner of your education which locks you in an empirical box, a mathematical prison.
Most of us here at AG have long realized that there are things we do as tweaks with our systems that have a sonic impact far surpassing what our educations would deem possible. So what has become of us? We have, over years of dedicated listening, enabled our ear brain system to "hear" those nuances that inform our appreciation for the details in which the true musical experience lives.
Can you break out of your prison? Do you want to be free?

I believe The Cable Company has the Wireworld in their lending library.
For that  money, I feel well worth the shipping back and forth to audition several.
Thanks! Ken

@auxinput  You've posted here enough to realize what a canard the old silver is bright line is eh?

sorry, but I have done extensive listening and testing with silver components.  Silver interconnects, silver fuses, silver digital cable.  It is largely system dependent, but they all add a level of brightness and sterileness.  If you have very warm sounding equipment, then silver might add some speed, but with the combination of Revel Studio and Krell FPB, the likelyhood of creating a bright edge is high.
