price of WireWord ECLIPSE III DISCRETE BIWIRE

digitalviper86 posts10-04-2021 1:06amThe cable is a scam.

Please enlighten us

I guess my first question would be:

Why do you assume it would be a big improvement? You like what you like. An improvement? Probably. A "Big" improvement......maybe.

My second question is:

They don’t make that version of those cables anymore. I believe WireWorld’s Eclipse is up to version 8. They certainly weren’t "cheap" when they were new, that’s for sure. If I had to guess, I would probably say they were around $1500-ish new. Somewhere in that ballpark, I'd wager.

I think they also came in a couple of different "flavors" (silver/copper, etc....)

IME (at least with my Classe CA-2200/ speaker setup), any silver cable I’ve tried makes my system sound VERY bright. I stick with all copper cables. YMMV, depending on what you like and what those cables are actually made of.

If you’re purchasing from a store, see what the return policy is. You might eat some $$$ on a restocking fee, but if you hate them, at least you’re not out the whole amount.

It's a private seller, and I would only buy if I can try them first. It is the copper version, not the silver or gold version, which were more expensive. Seller is reluctant to let me try first. So we'll see.

Why would you think a private seller would ship you a set of cables for a free trial.  If they are used and you want them then buy them.  If you don't like them re-sell them like he is doing.  These used equipment sites are not Amazon.  

That's a pretty big ask from a private seller.

I agree with @jackd , if you think you want them and the price is right, buy them and give them a shot.
You might love them.
But if you don't like them, put them back up for sale.
