Are Eichmann better ?

Interesting you should ask as WBT just announced their new plugs... look a lot like bullet plugs.....

It will be interesting to see what hapens to RCA's in general if this new style of plug catches on...

I like the Eichmann Silver Bullets on my Signal Cable Silver Resolution RCA's. I damaged an RCA jack and amplifier with locking barrels that clamped down so tight it was a wrestling match getting them off.

i have been told that WBT sounds more brittle, delicate, frail compared to Eichmann .And with less detail in highs.

So to me it sounds Eichmann is the way to go.

I purchased the WBT Nextgen connector with the VH Audio Pulsar digital cable and it exhibits no brittleness at all. I do agree that the ease-of-use of WBTs leaves something to be desired, but I'll live with it for now.
I agree with Tvad. It really depends on how one make the cable and terminate the cable properly. I prefer Eichmann Silver Bullet over the copper version because it sounded more open, smoother overall and less harsh in the high frequency. As far as Nextgen goes, never tried them ( since I'm already satisfied with Eichmann silver bullet for lower price) but I do own WBT 0201Es and binding posts and they're superb with imaging and overall balance.
The best part about WBTs is its unmatched build quality.
I tried all WBT Nextgen male and female(silver and copper versions),and Eichmann silver and copper at my own cables-WBT Silver sounds significantly better than anything else to my taste.Long break-in period-at least 100 hours before it start 'open'.Construction/price sucks,but performance is exellent-I never heard so many details on my familiar CD's-organic and sweet sound.WBT Nextgen female is great upgrade too.Just my 2 cents.
Grisslehamn, 'hi-fi+' magazine in issue 37 compared the copper WBT nextgens with the Eichmann Silver Bullets and a Neutrik RCA. They thought the WBT was better overall and not by a small margin. Too bad the WBT nextgen silvers are so expensive.
