Mixing Wireworld cables with different hierarchy

[chessman]

soundslikemusic, you may wish to do a couple of things. First, wait on jdandy's report regarding his move from copper Kimber 8TC speaker wires to copper/silver clad WireWorld Silver Eclipse 6. If his experience turns out like mine (moved from a different brand copper loom to WireWorld Silver Eclipse 6), he is going to report that the sound is full, rich, detailed, and not bright. Second, you really need to consult with MasterLu (Ivan) before you buy, who may be able to get you over some hurdles.

Dang, I need to learn to type faster.

I consider the three most important words in audio to be "implementation," "implementation," and "implementation." In my experience, that's been the case with circuit topologies, speaker designs, and, yes, cables. I've heard silver cables that were "thin" and bright, to be sure, but copper ones as well that were no less irritating or substance-challenged.

I've just moved Kimber silver-copper hybrid IC's from my primary to my secondary system, not because they're particularly thin or bright--I auditioned them before buying them and didn't hear either characteristic--but because the copper Wireworld Equinoxes that replaced them evidence noticeably better resolution across the audible frequency band. I haven't heard the silver-clad copper Silver Eclipse 6's, but given Wireworld's "family-resemblance" direct-connection approach to implementation, I suspect they're even more resolving while maintaining all the presentation qualities, including robustness and fullness, that render my Equinoxes "musical" to my ears.

Thanks ! from what i read the Equinox line is really value for $, bang for buck cable of the WW line & fairly inexpensive too.
I wonder if the eclipse at 2.5x the cost of these would be substantially better ?

"Substantially better" is something that is inherrently subjective. It is a function of how strongly you want the last ounce of improvement and how truly discretionary the spend is. For example, I will never spend the bucks on platinum, but could get my head around Silver Eclipse 6. Maybe it is a different answer for you. I will tell you that the wires did not make as much of an improvement as my move to a tubed CD player. There is no right answer from others, just the right answer for you personally.

I can't speak for a direct comparison w/ equinox but my Eclipse 6 blew my _lo signatures out of the water
