Default My take on Platinum 8

I've been enjoying Wireworld Gold Eclipse 7 cables in my system for a little over a year now thinking that I would be okay and could relax and enjoy the system and not have to think about needing to do anymore upgrades for a while. Seems I was badly mistaken. Everything was OK until the Wireworld series 8 was announced." I'll be fine, I have what i need, can't be that much better than what i have now", I'm thinking.
I was trying to convince myself that I didn't want them,but knew I would have to eventually take the big plunge,so I purchase the Platinum 8's from Ivan with his usual discount pricing.

So far I've put about 50 or so hours on them. I know they will need a bit more to fully bloom,so to speak, but having listened to familiar music I can say that they are quite beautiful in their presentation. Compared to the Gold 7's there is more transparency and fleshed out harmonics. Their a very quiet cable. You'll hear much deeper into the sound stage, depending on the recording. Its quite stunning to hear sounds bouncing off the back wall of a concert hall you never noticed before with much greater separation between instruments. The treble reproduction is smooth as silk,especially noticeable on massed strings. totally free of grit or grain. These are definitely very low distortion cables. Mid-range is clear and very clean without a hint of stridency. Bass is strong,clean and pitch perfect. You'll get lodes of slam and then some!
Everything that I love about the Gold 7's has now been magnified/enhanced with greater air,quietness,delicacy,articulation and overall presentation..making for an even more refined and enjoyable listening experience.
The separation of instruments/voices and the notes they create can be heard as never before..with more delicate details emerging with an involvement factor off the charts. This is an incredibly coherent and musically involving cable that while not inexpensive are most definitely worth the cost. Ivan told me i was in for a real "treat". He was so right!

My advise? ...Save, borrow from friends, get a home equity loan, cash out the 401k.. somehow find a way to make it happen and you will not be disappointed.

So...Unless and until Wireworld comes out with a Series 9 cable, i think i can say, for sure this time, that i can relax and let go, at least for a while.
Seems the Platinum 8 cables are the ultimate cure even for a terminal case of upgrade-itis.
