Thread: I take a look at the WireWorld Ethernet Cables...

Hey Guys - my take on the WireWorld cables in my system.

Interesting note: the Blue Jeans Cable at only ~$10 is still quite good and the bargain champion! Frankly they still have a place in my system and hold their own against more expensive cables in many instances.

I have tried the Starlight with excellent results.

Supra Cat8 is a great cable choice.

In my experience, quality Cat 8 cables very often operform the so called "audiophile" Ethernet cables, which are often only Cat 6 rated. My advice is always get regular, certified Cat.8 cables before spending money on the audiophile ones.

It is definitely true higher price does not automatically guarantee better sound. I still maintain that BJC or something similar is the right choice for a vast majority of people and still use BJC in parts of my system. I was actually disappointed with the Supra finding it a bit brittle sounding where it sits I in the closet now.

In my experience, though, Wireworld Starlight Cat8 can be as well. It's got excellent neutrality, resolution, and transparency, but depending the how the content is mastered, it can also be somewhat lean and thin-sounding. Between it and Audioquest Vodka, I preferred the Vodka overall.

Good to know it wasn't just me!

At the end of the day my mind-altering, universe-shattering ethernet and USB cables by a million-mile margin over anything else I've ever heard are the Stealth cables. Literally turned my perception of what cables can do upside down as I outline in my vids on them.
