Wireworld Electra 7


I have an opportunity to get a WW Electra 7 power cord, was thinking of trying it on my Dinafrips Venus II DAC. Anyone have these and how do they work for you? Thank you.

Jafant, will surely keep you posted after the Silver Electra 7 goes into the system. Apart from the power cord, I have also added a Wireworld Platinum Starlight 8 USB. Hopefully these 2 cables will bring the system to greater heights.

Jafant, first impressions are impressive. With less than 5 hours the sound was shut-in but improving with time. Currently the cable has less than 10 hours of play time so perceived differences may not be reflect the actual performance of the cable. The treble is beginning to show a glimpse of brilliance by sounding more open and extended than the Electra 7, and the midrange sounds slightly airier with more space between instruments. Basically a more open, dynamic and larger than life sound(relative to the Electra 7) which I am seeking, which is a good thing. The bass is still sounding slightly forced though.

The power cord will probably require about a week or two to break-in and I’ll see if there’s further changes after it’s all done. At this point of time I am glad to report that it is sounding better than the Electra 7 and getting close to the performance of my reference Acrolink cord which costs 5 times more.

 

Jafant, although the Silver Electra 7 is not fully burn in yet, the sound quality is very good at the moment. The treble has more energy and sounds more extended with greater clarity than the Electra 7. Music used is mainly classical piano. Piano sounds more more illuminated and dynamic on the silver electra 7, flatter and duller on the Electra 7.

In comparison to my reference Acrolink 8N-PC8100 cord, the Silver Electra 7 actually sounds more extended in the treble. The Acrolink sounds more controlled with a fuller midrange and treble. Basically a sound that is fuller, warmer with a slight reduction in airiness.

The Silver Electra 7 will be better for systems which require more treble energy and dynamics. On the other hand the Electra 7 will be more suitable for brighter systems since the sound is duller. All these Wireworld power cords are used on DACs since I already have a good Acrolink cord on the amp. Based on my previous experience, the WW Electra 7 does not sound good on amps so it will always go to the DAC or CD player. The Silver Electra 7 will also be used only on DACs.

Excellent! Thank You for the initial impression and thought. Yes, about 2 weeks for a full break-in.  I agree, Silver will add more dynamics, extended air. Looking forward in reading the next update. Keep the WW Silver Electra on CDP or DAC.

 

Happy Listening!
