New WIREWORLD Eclipse 8 series FULL REVIEW


The Wireworld updated Eclipse 8 speaker cables, interconnects and the 75 ohm digital coax could be the greatest value ( in the “ upper priced market) visa- vie sound quality- ( without going to $6k for Inakustik’s LS-4004) !!

ww eclipse 8 sadly did not work out for me. chain, a node n130 usb out to holo audio may kte, ww e8 xlr out to benchmark hpa4, ww e8 xlr out to benchmark ahb2 powering perlisten s7t. top end and mids were warm but veiled, felt like lots of detail was missing, little air at all, tight soundstage, imaging felt off, vocals, especially female vocals were dull, bass was loose and bloated. it honestly kills me to say it as i researched a TON and had a lot of faith and excitement for these cables. i tried to blame other parts of my chain but as soon as i swapped out ww for worlds best cable (canare / neutrik) my soundstage tripled in size, the veil was lifted, air was back, detail returned, the bass had bite and sharp resolution. it was a VAST difference. only complaint w wbc is maybe a little too bright and forward. on hunt now for something like the wbc only a little less emphasis on top end. i love the added detail in mid and top but the brightness is fatiguing. goes to show how synergy always trumps dollars when adding to your chain. 100% agree w posts stressing get a bunch of cables to evaluate. and for cable doubters, if you have not tried playing w swapping out a few cables, you might be surprised. i certainly was!

I'm currently running in WW Eclipse 8 rca's between my Marantz 30n sacd and Musical Fidelity Ms8 preamp and after about 200hrs I ordered the XLR's to go between the preamp and Halo JC5, the xlr's arrived yesterday and are currently running in. The cables I'm testing them against are Morrow MA4 rca's which the Pure Harmony plugs and the MA xlr's for the amp. Between the Marantz and preamp convinced me to get the xlr's due to the top to bottom coherence tonal balance and just flat out musicality. Nothing missing that the Morrow's had but and overall increase instrument placement ,air midrange articulation and taunt bass. I'm extremely impressed with Eclipse 8's in that application and hope a further increase in fidelity is to had with the xlr's or is just the balance and or synergy between the MA5 xlr's and the Eclipse 8 rca's ?

You may want to Morrow Audio a shot as what you describe what your looking for they may just be what your looking for.

I am currently listening to a brand new pair of Wireworld Silver Eclipse 8 XLR in my system. Does anyone know the burn-in period for this Wireworld cable before it will sound good? 100 hours? 200 hours?

The clarity and detail appear to be better than my current Acrolink but the dynamics are not there yet. Has anyone compared the a Gold Eclipse 8 to Silver Eclipse 8? The Platinum 8 is too costly for me.
