Wireworld Eclipse 8 compared to Analysis Plus Solo Crystal

Hello,

I've read many post about the characteristics of these two cables on Audigon, but one question is still unclear.

Would those who have used both say the Solo Crystal is a more detailed sounding cable than the Eclipse 8 or 7? Does one offer better transient response?

I would be switching from a set of Goertz Silver Sapphires, which are reviewed as a very detailed sounding interconnect, though I have never compared them directly to other interconnects.

Thanks, Drew Harty

+3 Wire World. I had some Analysis Plus cables which I sold a while back.

Mostly solo crystal oval. My systems have changed a lot since then. Their designs seem unchanged for decades.

I agree, nicely said. The cable companies that are most popular, aren't based on sound quality but marketing. That marketing keeps the product on the recommended component, editors choice, etc lists by changing the line up every few years even though it's not necessary from a technical view point. It is necessary though to stay on those lists.

Audioquest comes to mind. Somewhere I read that an Audioquest cable from the mid 90s was compared to a current model at the same price point adjusted for inflation. The mid-90s cable was preferred.

So great companies that don't play that game (Manley, Herron, ATC, Analysis Plus, Coda and the list goes on) now fly under the radar. Oh well...
