Wireworld Platinum Starlight 8 Differences

In theory, digital audio connections are supposed to be less sensitive to cables than analog connections, but cable polygraph tests have shown that the audible losses of digital and analog cables are actually comparable. Even Ethernet connections, which are perfectly reliable when saving files, tend to degrade the fidelity of streamed music and video in comparison to a local file source. Wireworld has invested in decades of research, testing and development to create digital audio cables that overcome those losses to provide substantial upgrades in musical realism and enjoyment. Over a wide range of applications and price levels, Wireworld digital audio cables advance the art of preserving the natural tone quality, spatial imaging and exciting dynamics of live music.

For Series 8, the upgrade to Composilex 3 and adding more strand groups has increased musicality, resolution and dynamic contrasts.

Free Premium Cable Burn-In Service: Experience the Power of Nordost VIDAR 2 Machine

 

We are thrilled to unveil our upgraded cable burn-in service, now featuring the cutting-edge VIDAR 2 burn-in machine. At Future Shop, we strive to provide the best possible experience for our customers, and this enhanced service is designed to unlock the true potential of your high-end cables. Read on to discover the exceptional benefits and advancements offered by the VIDAR 2 machine.

Please note: We are unable to burn-in cables with stripped bare ends or BFA plugs. Cable burn-in occurs after your order has been processed for the selected time period. For custom-length cables, burn-in takes place after termination by the manufacturer or our skilled engineers.

 

 

 

The Nordost VIDAR cable burn-in machine seamlessly combines three vital functions into a single operation:

  • Neutralising charges around cables and insulation: The VIDAR 2 effectively dissipates any built-up charges, creating an optimal environment for signal transmission.
  • Deep conditioning into the conductor core: With its wide band and profound conditioning capabilities, the machine induces significant changes in signal passage through the metal, resulting in enhanced performance.
  • Ultrasonic surface conditioning of conductors: The VIDAR 2 employs ultrasonic technology to refine the conductor surface, further refining the signal quality.

In addition to all the advantages of its predecessor, the VIDAR 2 introduces remarkable improvements, including:

  • Complex burn-in signal with wider bandwidth and richer content
  • Enhanced directionality for cables
  • FOUR burn-in zones - including a new digital zone for USB, Ethernet, and Coaxial (BNC) cables.

Using a proprietary blend of composite and complex signals, the VIDAR 2 ensures comprehensive cable conditioning. The signal consists of ultra-low and ultra-high frequencies, surpassing video frequency ranges. The signal effectively penetrates the core at ultra-low frequencies by oscillating throughout the cable while swiftly traversing the surface at ultra-high frequencies. This transmission methodology counters harmonics and heterodynes between the two complex waveforms, improving signal performance throughout all cable layers.

Furthermore, the circuitry design boasts a unique feature that drives electrons above the conductor into the dielectric or insulation area. This process neutralizes any electrical charges that may impact the signal integrity. With the Nordost VIDAR, we go beyond merely sending ping-pong signals along the cable; we also ensure a balanced signal flow from the centre core to the outer shield in interconnect cables.

 

What does all this mean for you?

Conditioning your cables with the Nordost VIDAR yields remarkable benefits, including enhanced sound staging, heightened detail reproduction, and a more captivating and musical presentation.

We offer our cable burn-in service as a complimentary offering at the discretion of Future Shop. While we strive to accommodate all burn-in requests for the specified time periods, please understand that during exceptionally busy periods, we may be unable to fulfill all demands due to the limited connections available on the Nordost VIDAR cable conditioning machines.

Very Quiet!!!
31 Aug 2019
Verified Buyer
First impression when I plugged in the cable was the quiet background which enabled more details to emerge from the music produced by the system. After running in with my Purist System CD, most notable change is that the vocals are fuller, more detailed and no trace of harshness at all. Bass is very tight - especially music notes picked on the double bass are clear and discerning. The overall feel of the sound is highly 'stress-free' and the music flows very smoothly - a totally enjoyable experience. The cable is still being run-in and I expect to hear more once the sound stage opens up more. Although the cable is relatively expensive, I opine that it is worth the money when one hears the upgraded tonal quality and sound details emerging from the addition of this cable. The previous digital cable I owned has also a solid silver core but the difference here, I believe, is due to the insulation and the tri DNA helix cable design. Overall, a truly remarkable digital coaxial which is worth its price.
