ww eclipse 8 sadly did not work out for me. chain, a node n130 usb out to holo audio may kte, ww e8 xlr out to benchmark hpa4, ww e8 xlr out to benchmark ahb2 powering perlisten s7t. top end and mids were warm but veiled, felt like lots of detail was missing, little air at all, tight soundstage, imaging felt off, vocals, especially female vocals were dull, bass was loose and bloated. it honestly kills me to say it as i researched a TON and had a lot of faith and excitement for these cables. i tried to blame other parts of my chain but as soon as i swapped out ww for worlds best cable (canare / neutrik) my soundstage tripled in size, the veil was lifted, air was back, detail returned, the bass had bite and sharp resolution. it was a VAST difference. only complaint w wbc is maybe a little too bright and forward. on hunt now for something like the wbc only a little less emphasis on top end. i love the added detail in mid and top but the brightness is fatiguing. goes to show how synergy always trumps dollars when adding to your chain. 100% agree w posts stressing get a bunch of cables to evaluate. and for cable doubters, if you have not tried playing w swapping out a few cables, you might be surprised. i certainly was!
