Was using a pair of Wireworld Terra-6 RCA cables previously.
Got the Wireworld Oasis-6 RCA cables (1m - $109) about a month ago.
At first try, Wow. The soundstage is wider to boot. Didn't seem to increase depth of the soundstage over the Terra-6 (2m - $25), but it's definitely "wider". Even bigger difference was the loudness. It's just plain louder (bigger) with more energy than the Terra-6.
It's also a bit crisper, with more sparks in the treble when the songs demand. Overall the sound is full bodied and a bit warm. Less edgy, bit more silky up top. Great dynamics - Low end has plenty punch, and the highs go up well without rolling off.
There was a little increase in detail, one or more instruments that come at you in different way.
Transparency and bass definition (articulation) however isn't stellar. Although the transparency in Oasis-6 is better than that of the Terra-6, it wasn't anything like a ground breaking. Bass is also better, but it wasn't hard / super fast as I hoped. Maybe I'm expecting too much from a $109 pair cable. But still, very good for the money.
And it doesn't seem to need much burn-in / settle-in either. It sounded good right off the bat, brand new cables.
Highly recommended!
P.s. the Terra-6 sounds good too, but it distorts easily especially at highs. When a lot of high frequencies are played by the instruments it tends to congest. Oasis-6 removes this congestion. Music also has less energy and volume, not bad by any means, it's just that the Oasis-6 excels in this regard.
