Now here's a company on a roll.

Hot on the heels of a belting review for its Ultraviolet 5/2 USB cable (August 2009), Wireworld has pulled off another cracker with the Starlight 6.

It's an intriguing design, but it sounds great, providing the energy to outmuscle its Chord and QED rivals, plus the high-frequency polish and spaciousness to comprehensively eclipse them. At the price, it's something of a steal.
