Looking for really fine cables at really low price

Rob,
I can literally feel your joy, have much fun today with your brother and friends listening to music.

I'm with Charles -Yes Rob enjoy. Sounds like a blast!

Grannyring, I ordered four Belden 3502AAU gold/nickel RCA plugs last night. Agreed wish we could do away with all connectors.

Agree with Salectric - will be patient and enjoy the journey!

Oops I meant four Switchcraft 3502AAU RCA plugs

Just installed two pair of Belden 8402 ICs with Vampire XLR connectors. I first cooked them for a day and a half on a Cable Cooker. No harshness whatsoever, just pure, natural-sounding music. In absolute terms, the sound of these ICs along with the WE SC's can compete with anything, with the only variable being personal taste. As a value proposition, the combination is off the charts. Thanks guys, for the recommendations.

Grannyring,
I am tremendously happy you took me up on my suggestion to write Jeff Day and let him know what/how you made your WE interconnect. That Jeff is jumping on this build right away is impressive. I'm betting Yazaki-San gets this information and builds a pair as well. I'll email Yazaki-San tomorrow. Based on your experience I definitely will get a pair or two put together. Congrats, on the face of it I believe your build is going to knock socks off!!! Too bad there is not much of this wire around.

My brother, half dozen audio buddies have been having a blast today comparing, you guessed it, WE16ga/Belden 8402 taking on all comers, during the afternoon weRocked, finally settling down to some mighty good Jazz. Tomorrow we move to small and large scale classical. So far we have Dana, Wywires, Auditorium 23, Sablon, some others will arrive tomorrow when we are joined by a few more folks. Will make brief comments on what we find out. Best, Rob
