WireWorld HDMI: Starlight 6 VS Island 6


WireWorld HDMI: Starlight 6 VS Island 6

What should be the choice ? I know price big difference between the two.

But is it worth ?

Or you have other recommendations.

Thanks in advance

I had the Redmere HDMI cable from my Oppo BDP103 to my Marantz 8801 pre/pro. Recently I purchased the WW Starlight 6 because I was offered a trial purchase with 30 days to return. I expected to not tell a difference and honestly felt it was a waste of money to consider upgrading from the redmere.

On the video side I could tell no difference. I have a very capable 1080p projector; a Marantz VP15s1. If there was any improvement offered I believe my projector would have exhibited the difference.

On the audio side it was a different result. The bass was a bit tighter and lower, and, the top end seemed to open up a bit more. The differences were only subtle at best, but, there was still an improvement. I decided to keep it. Would the average person with low to mid-fi equipment tell a difference? I don't know. I use proceed for amplification and Aerial Acoustics speakers. My sub is a Seaton Submersive.

I would only suggest you give it a try and see what difference you can tell. I am curious what differences you can discern.
