Thank you.

Sorry to chime in late, but though I’d contribute since I just compared these two.

While I have not tried Valhalla 2, I did recently move from Valhalla 1s to Wireworld Platinum Eclipse 8 in 3 places: 1) Phono Preamp (CI Audio PEQ1> Levinson Ref 32 (RCA) 2) Auralic Vega G2.2 > Levinson Ref 32 (XLR) and 3) Levinson Ref 32 > Levinson 532 Amp ( (XLR). 

In my system the Valhalla was good: clear and transparent but a bit dry and lean.  

In each application the Platinum Eclipse 8 brought out more detail, more transparency and blacker backgrounds. In short, much more you are there rather than you are listening to a good stereo. 
 

YMMV. 

I've been very pleased with my WW Silver Eclipse.  Never heard the Platinum, and probably shouldn't!  :)

@gganaway I agree with your assessment of the Valhalla completely. I had Valhalla at one point, and I noticed the same thing.

I use WW Platinum XLR through out my system.  Pre>Amp, DAC>Pre, SACD>Pre, PhonoStage>Pre. I just feel they are out of the way, transparent.  They dont add or subtract. Tried other cables, but always felt addition or subtraction. Have always bought cables second hand.  My Platinums are a mix of series 6 and 7. I gave up experimenting trying to find the superioty of the 7 over 6.  WW for some reason dont hold value as other more hyped brands these days, which means great deals to be found on these interconnects.  Speaker cables are a different story. Im kind of moving away from silver for speaker.  Used to run Platinum as well.  They are great, but just happier using copper.
