Looking for really fine cables at really low price

I used the WE 16ga with 2 different bananas and bare - at the amp end only. Each banana imparted a signature. The less expensive banana, presumably low copper-content, was the least desirable. The more expensive one with "high copper content" was noticeably different and better.

I preferred the bare wire. It was cleaner sounding with a little more presence.

However, I could see how one might prefer the signature of the better banana.

Are the Belden cables a good choice for phono cable?

Metman,
In my system the WE 16g is a wonderful match with the Belden 8402 interconnect. Natural and organic. Relaxed with terrific tonal color, texture, dynamic, transparent, really nice stage. I think YMMV.

John, some folks are using them with success as phono.
Best, Rob

If anyone here wants the WE 16ga, tajacobs, seller on eBay is legitimate. Most of the Day/Yazaki-san readers are buying from him. I have no connection to tajacobs, just a happy buyer. Day's blog provide a link to seller of Belden 8402. They can terminate RCA or other type for you.

Thanks,wish the speaker wire was as easy to purchase!
