Looking for really fine cables at really low price

Jet and others, I now have the WE ICs in my main rig after 30 hours of burn in. Please see my build notes a few posts back. They are not coming out. I decided to shield them with Belden tinned copper tube braiding soldered at BOTH ends and the sound is simply stunning. They sound very much like the Belden 8402, but a larger stage and tad more openness. I used the Switchcraft connectors also.

Thus far I am very pleased. My digital front end is totally glare free, smooth and engaging to the nth degree. I love the effortless presentation that is drenched in realism. Remember, I also have a WE 16ga digital cable built just recently.

I hope more of this wire becomes available soon so more can enjoy it.
Great posts and information shared by seasoned Agoners on this thread. I am interested in the results of the solid core WE ICs and Supra/WE comparison.

I have one set of Belden ICs with the rest of my non-power cord wire being WE16ga. The WE IC is used on my dac to preamp connection. Belden on the pre to amp.

It is astounding to me that the about $15,000 Tara Labs speaker cable can be compared to the about $80 WE16ga speaker cable in the same breath, with the WE16ga comparing so close, so favorably, to most if not all the vaunted speaker wires; and perhaps the WE betters those vaunted wires in certain categories such as musicality, if not in overall performance. At any rate it is close, neck and neck.

Rob, for my thoughts on why a high degree of correlation between cable performance and cable price should not be expected, see my posts here and here, and in the links provided therein.

While the findings you and the others have reported about the WE and Belden cables are certainly a wonderful and valuable discovery, IMO they are not at all surprising.

Enjoy! Best regards,

Hi Almarg,
I read your referenced articles. Brilliant as always.

Grannyring, you should write a comment on Jeff Day Blog about your interconnect/digital experience. I believe many of Day's readers will have interest including Yazaki-san. Many kudos to you for pushing this envelope.
Jet, as well.

Thanks to Jetrexpro for being the first to try it! The best IC recipe with the WE16ga is interesting to me. Mine are shielded just like the Belden and thus far I love the results.

Charles,
As always a level-headed, thoughtful post. Like you in my audio journey its not worthwhile to debate what listening objective is right. They are both right. It is personal choice. What is truly remarkable is that the WE16ga to a great degree can satisfy both camps. Best, Rob
