Yes. I admit I've recently reverted my main system interconnects from WEL (1 RCA, 1 XLR) to Wild Blue Yonders, and I'm enjoying it more than ever. I'm feeling that perhaps my system doesn't have much more to give past the WBY level, and also the slight warmth of the WBY might be a better tonal match for its current state of things. It's not like the WBY are exactly cheapies, either!
I can still try the WEL on the Stax 009S/BHSE/SOTA system and see how they gel there - might be a different story. And I'll try the WEL's again when I switch my main arm from a Graham/Koetsu combo to a Fidelity Research FR64S with Koetsu.
Hurricane cords have been doing very nicely on my tube monoblocks. The Fire interconnects, Hurricane cords, and Wild LP phono (again, doing a lot of what the WEL LP does for a lot less) really strike me as the sweet-spots in the high-end of the AQ line.
