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) !!

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.

 

@jgladden36 What did you end up going with?
I had the exact same experience as you with the WW Eclipse 8 compared to Canare 4s11g based cables. Much wider/deeper soundstage but suddenly the top end became dull and recessed. Significantly.

Was thinking of trying the WW Silver Eclipse for added brightness.
Maybe it’s that the WBC are really bright and in comparison the WW Eclipse 8 felt really laid back and veiled. Not sure. I am reading that the Silver Eclipse are brighter than the normal Eclipse 8 which sounds like what I am missing.

Like you I feel the WBC are good but a bit too forward/edgy sometimes.
But the WW Eclipse 8 are the complete opposite in my system, extremely dark and veiled in the top end.

To provide some context
My system is
Anthem AVM90 --> Silver Eclipse 8 XLR --> Parasound JC1+ --> WBC (canare 4s11) ---> Sonus Faber Sonetto G2 Viii

after 200 hours the WW cables will open up nicely. What cables/cords are you currently enjoying ?

 

Happy Listening!
