The fact you have the WW Platinum 8 IC’s tells me you already appreciate a great cable. Ignore the non-believers. A great cable is equal to a component change and well worth it. Taken from another perspective, I have customers who believe cables are the most important component in a system (excluding the room/treatments of course). More important than an amp say. I’m not quite there myself, but do appreciate how important cables are to overall synergy and bringing the absolute best out of the rest of the system.

I don't get into name calling; therefore regardless of individual preferences I don't call anyone an audiofool. People spend their money on whatever they like and I don't determine value, what's good or bad for anyone but myself. I'm here to share my experiences, not to judge.
my response, while directed with respect to your quote was not directed at 'you' and I stand by my 'preference' of common sense / science as it relates to wire. Go forward, listen and enjoy !
I heard many good comments on Analysis Plus SC, may go to the dealer to have an audition to see if I like the sound.

A couple of days ago TAS published this review of A+'s top line Silver Apex speaker cable:

The Analysis Plus is fabulous. MSB strongly recommends it. We use it with all our MSB gear.

I go further. I believe a good cable can be more important than room treatment if you have a normal room, with normal furniture, with no echo. That´s enough for me.

I have a set of audioquest Robin Hood on there way. Was looking at the 88 series but that was a downgrade from my crystal cable piccolo. The William Tell were just to much to reach to. They were almost 3x the price for what I paid for these. Anyone have some listening sessions with these cables and thoughts. Thanks,
bryson 4b3, BP26, BDA3, lumin mini, Focal 1027BE FYI. Maybe I should have saved and waited for the William tell who knows?

Hey all!
Just got my new Thunderbirds (Zero). Only had a few minutes with them but they sounded great. Was hard to do an efficient AB test against the William Tell bi-wires, which blew me out of the water when i first heard them (before that i had the Robin Hood bi-wire and i recall hearing a big difference there). By the time i disconnected and moved everything today, I'm not sure my brain remembered how good the WT sounded to measure up against the TB. Both sound amazing, but i'll be keeping the TB for now (until next upgrade, oh no!)
Anyway, what i wanted to tell everyone is that i now have a 3 meter (10ft) pair of William Tell bi-wire for sale at very (very!) good price. I also got a great deal on them as they were previously a demo pair for a European dealer i buy lots of AQ stuff from (especially power cords).
