Looking for really fine cables at really low price

Brownsfan, hope it works out! I cannot vouch on the sound of the 14ga as I have mentioned before. I can tell you the 16ga is as good as wire gets after burn in. I just don't know what a thicker and different birth date means in terms of sound vs. the 16 ga.

Rob, I had a Lampizator 4/4 with Duelund caps on the input and outputs. The Yamamoto is better after two simple mods. I found the Lampi to be very good, but in the end, not as musical and engaging. Based on your sonic preferences I am quite sure the Yami is better for you than the Lampi.

Grannyring,
Thank you for the info. Are the two mods the Capictor change? Best, Rob

I wish the folks posting about the organic, natural, live sound qualities described by Mr. Yazaki-san could have attended the Capital Audio Fest in Rockville, Md. last weekend. A local dealer DejaVu Audio had a room with speakers using vintage Western Electric drivers and horns and it was driven by custom electronics built with WE and other vintage parts. The sound would have knocked you over! It was truly organic and natural sounding especially with the acoustic jazz that was playing each time I was in the room. Wire makes a difference, no question about that, but speakers and electronics with the same type of qualities make an even greater difference.

Here's a more complete description of the DejaVu room at CAF.
