| Wireworld They trade mid-treble energy for better imaging. @erik_squires may I ask which Wireworld speaker cable are you referring to when you made the above remark. Is it the Eclipse 8, Silver Eclipse 8 or Gold Eclipse 8? I’m trying to figure out whic... | |
| When someone tells you it's a $40,000 amp, does it sound better? Sound quality is just a byproduct. The money that you are paying goes to 1. Raw material which contributes to build quality and fit and finish 2. Parts and components 3. Research and development 4. Wages for everyone | |
| Wireworld Platinum Starlight 8 USB I’ve read an underwhelming experience from a Starlight 8 USB owner on another forum. After comparing the spec sheet, I found the Starlight 8 to be very similar to the lower range Ultraviolet which I also have. The only difference between the two c... | |
| Wireworld Platinum Starlight 8 USB The Infigo USB costs $1,600 so I guess it would fit the higher end systems. The Wireworld Platinum Starlight 8 USB at $600 is a fraction of the cost so I can understand the Infigo is better. Nevertheless, I am amazed and shocked that the differenc... | |
| Wireworld Silver or Gold Eclipse 8 - IC or Speaker Cable? Thanks @fthompson251 and @jdub39 . I’ve had great success with the Platinum Starlight 8 USB and Silver Electra 7 power cord. The system has greatly improved in areas of poise and refinement. I’m very happy. I’m currently all tapped out but will ... | |
| Wireworld Platinum Starlight 8 USB Late to the party. I recently invested in the Wireworld Platinum 8 USB. It’s the most expensive USB cable I currently have in the system and it’s marvelous. It brought a level of refinement and control to the sound which I wasn’t expecting. I hav... | |
| Wireworld Electra 7 @jafant just to update that the Silver Electra 7 has lived up to expectations. However, the star of the day may go to the Wireworld Platinum Starlight 8 USB which I installed yesterday. Stunned at the changes and happy. | |
| Help with USB Cable Option Gents, just to share my experience. The USB cable is the most neglected cable in my system although I have a pretty decent one (Tellurium Q Ultra Silver). I recently went with the Wireworld Platinum Starlight 8 and installed it in my system yester... | |

| Luxman 509x vs Hegel H390 Congratulations on the Luxman L-509x. I don’t have experience with the Hegel but own the L-590AXII. It’s high quality in terms of sonic delivery and very good. The Luxman top models (509X and Class A 590AXII) not only sound musical but have high ... | |
| Cables to Add Brightness The current cables in my system are doing fine. I'm just curious if there are other cables which are capable of giving a slight boost or sparkle to the treble without going overboard. | |
| Cables to settle brightness There are several possibilities. Based on my limited experience cables may help fine tune the sound by reducing the brightness but the difference may not be significant enough to completely resolve the sibilance with human voice or glare in the tr... | |
| Luxman 509x vs Hegel H390 I’m sure the Hegel is fantastic and great build quality before I get berated. Very understated look. The Hegel’s build quality is the sole reason I scratched it off the list. The plasticky look feels cheap as it reminds me of budget NAD amps. | |
| Luxman L-590AX My local dealer advised that the L-590AXII is a lot better than the original 590AX mk1. | |
| Power Cables - Stock vs. Budget I have not tried it all. Based on my limited experience, $50 to 150 cords all sound almost the same. Minor difference. $300 to $500 is a good start as you get some good result. |
