Wireworld Silver or Gold Eclipse 8 - IC or Speaker Cable?
@jdub39 , the Silver Eclipse 8s are good! It’s about 100 hours only now and the sound has improved tremendously, more open with better clarity and detail. The slight dark and muffled sound in the midrange and upper bass are now gone. I can’t wait ... 
Graham ls5/9 vs Harbeth M30.1
Murphycat, guess what. I switched from Harbeth SHL5+ to Graham LS5/9. Both good and rather close in sound signature with BBC heritage, but they sound different. I listened to both M30.1 and LS5/9 separately in different systems, and I now own the... 
Wireworld Silver or Gold Eclipse 8 - IC or Speaker Cable?
@jdub39 Thanks for the response. That’s useful to know and it’s fortunate I picked the Silver Eclipse 8 over Eclipse 8. I wanted some silver content in the conductors and it looks like I’ve made the right choice.  
Wireworld Silver or Gold Eclipse 8 - IC or Speaker Cable?
Tokushi, thanks for the post. Certainly useful ! I presume you have experience with both Silver Eclipse 8 and Gold Eclipse 8 cables judging from your detailed assessment? I agree it’s a matter of mix and match and from your description it looks l... 
Wireworld Silver or Gold Eclipse 8 - IC or Speaker Cable?
Jdub39, I just received the Silver Eclipse 8 XLR. It's showing great potential in my system although it's being used for less than 50 hours. May I ask how long is the burn-in period? Have you managed to compare the Silver Eclipse 8 XLR with the G... 
New WIREWORLD Eclipse 8 series FULL REVIEW
I am currently listening to a brand new pair of Wireworld Silver Eclipse 8 XLR in my system. Does anyone know the burn-in period for this Wireworld cable before it will sound good? 100 hours? 200 hours? The clarity and detail appear to be better ...

Furutech Mains Power Cables Hierarchy & Differences
It didn't happen as the sale looks fishy.  The current FI-28 (R) and TCS31 surely require extensive break in. From poor to a glimpse of brilliance, the sound went back to warm and shut-in, and now it's improving throughout the weeks as the warmth... 
Furutech Mains Power Cables Hierarchy & Differences
So nobody has experience with the Furutech Nanoflux NCF. I may have the opportunity to pick up a used one although at its current price it’s still significantly costlier than my new TCS31 / FI-28 (R), close to a brand new DPS4.1 / FI-50 (R) NCF. D... 
Furutech Mains Power Cables Hierarchy & Differences
FWIW I also own a Wireworld Silver Elektra 7 (upgraded from Elektra 7 last year), currently used on my less important component which is a streamer. Although I didn’t make any direct comparison between the Furutech and Wireworld (no intention to d... 
Furutech Mains Power Cables Hierarchy & Differences
Thanks @audphile1. Your post is surely useful. I’ll surely wait for it. As the TCS31 / FI-28 (R) already showed a glimpse of brilliance on good days, I’m sure it would sound fantastic once it’s all over. Currently I do not have any requirements f... 
Furutech Mains Power Cables Hierarchy & Differences
Yes digsmithd there’s still ups and downs. It sounded great yesterday and today it sounds slightly muffled and shut-in. Perhaps DPS4.1 and FI-50 (R) NCF will do it. I’ve already overspent on cables as they now probably cost about 50% the total cos... 
Furutech Mains Power Cables Hierarchy & Differences
Thanks. Will have a tough time picking one. The current TCS31 with FI-28 (R) is already showing great potential and it's difficult to imagine how the others will sound like. In this hobby we pay a significant amount of money to attain a small but ... 
Furutech Mains Power Cables Hierarchy & Differences
In summary, I’m interested in the comparison between these cables: FP-TCS31 + FI-50 (R) NCF DPS-4.1 + FI-50 (R) NCF NanoFlux NCF PowerFlux NCF Which is the sweet spot which gives the best bang for the buck? The NanoFlux and PowerFlux NCF are ...
