Hi Erik. I have had the Eclipe 7 XLR in my system. It's a very nice cable and just very slightly laid back in sound (all the detail is there), but it is definitely not as warm sounding as the DIY cables I listed above. The thick gold-plating on the Furutech XLR just give a warmer smoother sound than the silver-clad XLR of the Wire World. Also, the Wire World uses very small 30awg strands aligned in a side-by-side array which gives better high frequency extension than the big 20awg solid-core above. That being said, the Wire World is just a tiny bit soft and laid back in comparison to high resolution cables, but I would not call it really warm. When compared to your silver cables, I can see where one could say the Eclipse is warm.
