| Electronics for Harbeths -- $5-10K @cundare2 I was referring to the Acrolink 8N-A2080III having a warm and liquid midrange with a tube-like glow in the highs, not the Silver Apex which you currently own. I don't have experience with the Silver Apex. I consider the difference b... | |
| Electronics for Harbeths -- $5-10K By the way, I wouldn’t say Luxman amps are analytical sounding amps. They are generally considered to be warm but detailed particularly the L-590AXII that I currently own. I know warm and detail appear to be contradictory but that is what I experi... | |
| Electronics for Harbeths -- $5-10K One motivator is that after recently switching to more revealing Analysis Plus Silver Apex cables, I find I can no longer stand the sound of my last-gen Class D amps. May I ask if the Silver Apex are speaker cables or interconnects? If it's the... | |
| Wireworld Silver or Gold Eclipse 8 - IC or Speaker Cable? Jdub39, less than 100 hours, perhaps 80 hours. I think you are right. The sound improved today as it sounds a bit more dynamic. The bass sounds slightly tauter although still not as powerful. It’s getting better. I hope the less than stellar sound... | |
| Wireworld Silver or Gold Eclipse 8 - IC or Speaker Cable? @tokushi You posted this earlier:- 1. Difference Between Silver Eclipse 8 and Gold Eclipse 8: The Silver Eclipse 8 is typically considered to be a more neutral and detailed cable. It offers excellent transparency and can provide a sense of ... | |
| Speaker cables recomendation for Luxman L509X / Dynaudio Contour 30i Thanks for the response, appreciated. | |
| Speaker cables recomendation for Luxman L509X / Dynaudio Contour 30i @ghdprentice what about the next step up from Cardas Clear Reflection which is the Cardas Clear? Does it sound warmer or brighter than the Reflection? I presume the clarity and detail of the Clear are better than the Reflection? I have a Luxman ... | |
| Wireworld Silver or Gold Eclipse 8 - IC or Speaker Cable? Hi Jafant, Thanks. This time it’s not the WW Silver Electra7 PC but the Silver Eclipse 8 XLR interconnect. I haven’t made any serious comparison between the Silver Elektra7 PC and Acrolink PC but may do it soon. I briefly swapped the Elektra7 PC ... | |
| Wireworld Silver or Gold Eclipse 8 - IC or Speaker Cable? @jdub39 , the Silver Eclipse 8s are good! It’s about 100 hours only now and the sound has improved tremendously, more open with better clarity and detail. The slight dark and muffled sound in the midrange and upper bass are now gone. I can’t wait ... | |
| Graham ls5/9 vs Harbeth M30.1 Murphycat, guess what. I switched from Harbeth SHL5+ to Graham LS5/9. Both good and rather close in sound signature with BBC heritage, but they sound different. I listened to both M30.1 and LS5/9 separately in different systems, and I now own the... | |
| Wireworld Silver or Gold Eclipse 8 - IC or Speaker Cable? @jdub39 Thanks for the response. That’s useful to know and it’s fortunate I picked the Silver Eclipse 8 over Eclipse 8. I wanted some silver content in the conductors and it looks like I’ve made the right choice. | |
| Wireworld Silver or Gold Eclipse 8 - IC or Speaker Cable? Tokushi, thanks for the post. Certainly useful ! I presume you have experience with both Silver Eclipse 8 and Gold Eclipse 8 cables judging from your detailed assessment? I agree it’s a matter of mix and match and from your description it looks l... | |
| Wireworld Silver or Gold Eclipse 8 - IC or Speaker Cable? Jdub39, I just received the Silver Eclipse 8 XLR. It's showing great potential in my system although it's being used for less than 50 hours. May I ask how long is the burn-in period? Have you managed to compare the Silver Eclipse 8 XLR with the G... | |
| New WIREWORLD Eclipse 8 series FULL REVIEW 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 ... | |
