Wireworld Equinox 8 Interconnects

Description

MY TAKE: Over the years we’ve come to appreciate the quality, performance and value offered by the Wireworld line of cables. I can’t tell you how many cables we’ve tried in this price range, but none have matched Wireworld cables for performance and versatility. These cables have, what we term, very low system dependency (meaning they remain neutrally-balanced in most any system) which virtually guarantees a good fit in your current system, and won’t be out of place as you change equipment. - Galen Carol

Series 8 Upgrades

The upgrade to Composilex 3 in Series 8 interconnects improves tonal purity and image focus, while the increased number of strand groups has increased detail, soundstage separation, bass extension and dynamic expression.

All audio cables act as filters that remove portions of the signal, but Wireworld interconnects are engineered to lose less than others, producing higher definition and greater musical enjoyment.

The design employs four thin flat conductors stacked in a parallel array that is precisely wound into a helix. This configuration optimizes the electromagnetic field between the conductors, effectively neutralizing the electromagnetic loss that filters the signal in other cables.

The Equinox 7 provides amazing value to owners of premium quality AV systems, as it retains the unique performance advantages of Wireworld’s Eclipse Series, for a price that fits a wide range of systems.
 

The Equinox 7 features Wireworld’s unique DNA Helix® cable design and utilizes Silver-Tube™ plugs for optimum connectivity. Also available with balanced XLR terminations.

WireWorld Proprietary Silver Tube™ Connectors:

As impressive as they may look, gold-plated connectors are not a reliable indicator of quality in cables. Most gold-plated plugs are made of brass, which is plated with bright nickel and a thin layer of gold. Brass and nickel are rather poor conductors that introduce significant loss at the points of contact. Most Wireworld connectors have contacts made of oxygen-free copper and silver for substantial improvements in sound and video quality. The connectors feature tubular silver-clad OFC contacts and a silicone rubber tension band, which produce the lowest contact resistance available; these state-of-the-art connectors make dramatic improvements in sound and image quality. (U.S. Patent 5,413,503). Wireworld XLR connectors also use nickel-free, silver-clad contacts for superior performance.

REVIEWS:

"The smooth liquidity, palpable presence, and obvious dynamics of the Wireworld Equinox 6 interconnect make it a real winner for my 2-channel home theater application, and believe it worthy of serious consideration by audiophiles who demand a high level of musicality within their critical listening sessions rather than a supremely analytical perspective. In my opinion, the Wireworld Equinox 6 interconnect is a new moderate-cost level favorite that I can gladly recommend, and a fine example of an affordable high performance interconnect of which audiophile experts, neophytes, and non-audiophile music lovers may find common satisfaction."
