Looking for really fine cables at really low price

Crimson audio cables from Austin Texas

Fabulous - very engaging, resolving and tonally balanced

Do an audiogon search

Creston and his son Creston are great

Thin not garden hoses less strain on the components
they replaced some very good cables in my system

You have the option to try before you buy

Well, here's a preliminary report with my 35w tube-based system. After about 75 hours, the double run of WE 16g speaker wire is sounding pretty good. Yet, I really loved the sound when it was first installed with 0 burn-in. Sweet and subtle. Since my system is balanced, Best-tronics built the Belden IC's with Neutrik XLR's with gold plated pins. After about 30 hours on the Belden, the sound seems less bold. The mild reverb used with vocalists now appears to be much more pronounced - making it almost efx sounding. When I re-installed my Pure Note Enhanced Paragon XLR's, the music moved forward and full-bodied - as I prefer. Will the Belden change much with more hours on it?

Hey, as they say, YMMV; I'm in sonic Heaven, zero stuff you folks report. Volleyguy1: You are the first guy to report this wire was "awful" when first hooked up that I know of. Gee, I guess the score on this wire now is about 900 to 3. Don't bother to purchase the Arizona Caps. You won't like them. Best, Rob

Volleyguy1,
I wrote you this little ditty over on the "Capacitor and Mundorf" thread in case you missed it:
Volleyguy1,
You should likely stick to silver $1,800 dollar or higher priced cables. You obviously appreciate silver and marketing bucks of various cable manufacturers. This is NOS WE wire. No one to market it. When this is gone it is gone. My next line is tongue in cheek with smiley faces: when you get your hearing corrected I'll sell you some of this wire at Cable Company advertised price for Shun Mook cables using this same WE16ga at over $3,000. Small warning, being NOS that price could go higher. Best, Rob

Last night my wife had her first listen to the WE 16ga interconnects. I let her blindly hear the WE and then the Kondo and she preferd Kondo. I understand what she was hearing which is the lovely gentle, beautiful deeply textured and balanced presentation of Kondo IC's but I still prefer the WE IC's since I hear almost all of the Kondo's attributes but also to my ears a more musically involving presentation. What I like about WE IC's is the way it handles the Mids all the way through to the Bass. Clear and full and fully expressed.
Its good to have that reality check that we all hear and experience music differently. Not one size fits all - Jet
