Ok, have used these cables for just over a year- and I'm very happy with them, but they do take well over 100 hours to sound at there best IMHO.

Compared to the Nordost Cable I used prior (at almost 4x the cost), the Solstice holds up extremely well.

The cable, as mentioned before, does have a more forward presentation, but is still very coherent. Bass is a strong point, being fuller than the Nordost, whilst there is a small loss of 'air' around string instruments at the top end vs the Nordost. (this seems to improve after 100 hours of burn-in;or is it my ears adjusting?).

I'm with Dan, this cable is a sleeper & a giant killer in many aspects- especially on the mid-low bass presentation.

It has changed my view about Wireworld cables- having been a Nordost fan for over 15 years. Wireworld offers cable at many more price points compared to Nordost, which is great for cash strapped Audiophiles and allows an upgrade path.

No wonder Ivan sells Wireworld by the bucket load.

Highly recommended- especially for long runs.
