Wireworld Silver Eclipse 10 Interconnect

The Silver Eclipse has long been one of Wireworld's most recommended cables, the point in the range where resolution, tone, and value meet. Series 10 raises it again, and The Absolute Sound named it a Product of the Year. For a high-end system that wants more detail and life while staying well below solid silver pricing, this is where we'd start.

Silver's detail, copper's warmth, and an award-winning balance between them.

The Design

The conductors are OCC-7N copper clad in silver. OCC stands for Ohno Continuous Casting, which grows each strand as a nearly continuous crystal, and 7N means 99.99999% pure. The copper core brings body and warmth; the silver surface carries fine detail with ease. It's a hybrid that reviewers have found gets the best of both.

Those conductors are woven in Wireworld's patented Quad DNA Helix geometry, four helically twisted groups per polarity, with twice the strand groups of the Silver Eclipse 8. Wireworld designs the DNA Helix to cancel interference and keep the signal's energy evenly distributed through the cable. COMPOSILEX 5, Wireworld's own insulation, is engineered to minimize the static noise that insulation itself can create.

The RCA version carries 18 gauge per polarity, with silver-tube RCA plugs and silver-clad OFC contacts. The XLR versions carry 21 gauge per polarity, with silver/copper alloy contacts.

How It Sounds

We've found the Silver Eclipse 10 especially synergistic with Matrix Audio components such as the ND-1 DAC. The two bring out the musicality and naturalness in one another.

Reviewers hear the same qualities. Positive Feedback's John Hoffman, a longtime Wireworld user, found the Silver Eclipse 10 clearly exceeded its predecessor in every area of playback, with real impact in the bass and excellent vocal reproduction, and compared it favorably with the more expensive Gold Eclipse 8.

Connections

• RCA to RCA, single-ended (SEI)
• XLR to XLR, balanced (SBI)
• RCA to XLR (SEI-RX) and XLR to RCA (SEI-XR), for mixed-connection systems
• RCA to RCA with external ground wire (SEI-G), for turntables and components that need a separate ground

Where It Fits

The Silver Eclipse 10 sits just below the Gold Eclipse 10 in Wireworld's Series 10 interconnects, and above the Eclipse 10. It's the right choice for a high-end system where you want silver's resolution with a natural, full-bodied tone. Pair it with Silver Eclipse 10 speaker cable, which The Absolute Sound reviewed alongside it. Wireworld also makes 5, 6, and 7 channel sets for multichannel systems.
