Looking for really fine cables at really low price

I forgot to mention that I bought some of the last 7ft pieces of WE16ga that tajacobs has for sale on eBay so I can have some on hand for more speaker cable and to expiriment with making interconnects out of them. Grannyring, have you tried that yet? Regards Jet.

This stuff is the real deal.
At $110 total complete for 2 pair 3 ft of 8402 and 32 ft. WE16ga is an excellent bargain. I have been using these now for a few months and they are all what everyone says they are. I also picked up another 29ft of the WE cable. The 8402 is constructed as recommended, shields both ends connected and Switchcraft golds.

These cables together create an atmosphere of relaxed but live venue not matched by many cables.ANd they get better yet. I removed a lot of money in WyWires Silver cables here. My digital as vinyl sounds the best it has ever sounded. I might go after more Belden 8402 before that disappears.

I have not tried the WE wire for IC's, but may well do that. I bet they would have the same great bass as they do when used for speaker cables.

Grannyring,
Any further update on your digital DIY. Inquiring minds want to know...Rob

Regarding use of the Belden 8402 as a digital cable, keep in mind that its "characteristic impedance" is specified as 52 ohms, which will result in a considerable mismatch to the impedances of the digital components it would be used with. I would expect that to result in its sonic performance in digital applications varying considerably from system to system, and in some cases even among different lengths of the cable when connecting the same components.

In any event, glad to read of so many positive experiences with the Belden and WE cables. And it all reinforces the points several of us have made in past threads about the weak correlation that can be expected between cable performance and cable price.

Best regards,
