Looking for really fine cables at really low price

The WE wire does indeed need more time to settle in as ICs. They sounded better at 35 hours then they do right now. A tad ragged and not as awe inspiring as yesterday. I will report back after 70 or so hours.

Can still hear portions of greatness, but not as effortless and beautiful as yesterday. Yesterday they were a dream, today they sound like good cables. More time is needed on them.......

The WE16ga interconnects that I built have well over 200 hours and have finally turned the corner and are sounding full of musical color warmth and life just as they did a week ago. The mids are once again fully expressed as is the bass and at the same time sounding transparent clean and clear. As I sit and listen this morning I am struck by this expressive warmth that also has a transparency. Tough trick to pull off as these cables seem to shine a light through the music in a way that is about the music and not about detail. This is the sound that I'm looking for.

Grannyring all I can say is welcome to the journey :) jet

Ha! Jet, the cumulative impact of the WE stranded 16ga wire is just amazing. I placed a second and final IC set of WE ICs in this morning and all is great right now.

I find the WE ICs betters the Belden in stage expanse, realism, and top end openness. Not by a huge amount, but significant in my rig. The midrange has a tad more presence.

Like Mitch said this wire is an all time best buy for me. I only have 30 feet left.

Grannyring I agree with you about the WE ICs vs Belden. The synergy between WE/WE...yes. This musical light I mentioned seems to open up the sound in a VERY SPECIAL way. In my rig and to my ears Belden is missing this light. Heck most any cables are lacking this special something...whatever it is.

Rob, we will see what Mr. Day thinks of the WE ICs vs. Belden. Break in seems a little more unpredictable when this wire is used as an IC. Makes no sense to me? Well perhaps it is because the connectors are now in play? Can't be? Oh well, it just is.

Right now I am using a $400 DIY NOS dac for my front end and my sound system has reached new heights. I have a used Lector Hybrid amp that cost me $950 and combined with the $400 dac, my system is better than ever. I sold all my expensive cable also! This darn wire has been a game changer for my ears. Yes, it elevates the gear used with it. At least it has in my experience.
