Dan- thank you once again for your thorough methodology and well written and articulate review. You set a high standard that adds to the AA experience.

PS- Of course, like others here, I knew in advance what the outcome would be.

US Blues.......I could see where the heavy bets were being placed. Still, I had hopes that the 8TC would remain on the playing field. The performance gap turned out to be larger than I anticipated. The audible improvements are undeniable.

Dan, congrats on another outstanding review. I never tire of repeating what a fine writer you are.

My experience parallels yours, with a slight twist - my cables took another jump in performance at about 200 hours. So yours are going to get BETTER! How cool is that?

[jdandy]

Randy.......Much appreciated. I'll continue to count the hours on the Silver Eclipse speaker cables and the Amati Anniversario's and will comment on any additional improvements. Better is always a good thing.

Reading the review is even more pleasurable when you already own them. The reassurance factor is quite comforting.
I agree with Randy about the 200 hours. For the first 50, I thought they were a bit bright and somewhat thin. By 100 I was impressed and at 200 it was nothing but music. Thanks for the great review Dan.

Howard.......Thank you for the info on your Silver Elipse speaker cables. I will be looking forward to 200+ hours. I am at 112 hours and counting.

Congrats Dan......another very impressive review.

Enjoy all your great new toys my friend.

Dan, thanks for yet another finely written review. I am glad that you were able to tweak your system ever so much closer to your own audio bliss. I was happy, but not surprised, that you mentioned the price difference between these two cables. I wonder how much difference there is between cables of different manufacturers at similar price points? Wireworld vs. Cardas, vs. Transparent, etc...for example. Maybe they just have different sonic signatures.

I have been looking at upgrading my speaker cables and have interest in the 8TC as well as Wireworld Equinox6. I imagine that one might have a more difficult time finding differences between these two cables. For me, in the end it comes down to synergy. I will most likely go with the Wireworld since I have other cables from them in my system. I will say that your review makes it easier to be persuaded in my decision.

On a final note, I want to say that you are such a valuable asset to this forum. Your insight into all things audio (or not) and writing prowess are but a couple of reasons this forum is head and shoulders above other audio forums out there.
