Looking for really fine cables at really low price

I tried a pair of twisted WE 10awg as speaker wire for about 6 months. It yielded nice body, yet in my system, there was a HF sibilance/sizzle that never burned away. From tajacobs, I scored a 1950’s double-run of WE 16awg with insulation made of cloth, silk & wax. No plastic as with the 10awg. Slightly less body than the 10ga but very clean with great tone. Probably similar to the new Duelund wire.

I ended up converting the WE 10awg to a pc with Oyaide 046 connectors. Sounds very nice. Almost as good - but not as refined/articulate - as my WyWires Gold pc.

Strange as the WE10 gauge is the polar opposite of sizzle and sibilance in my rig. Smooth highs and tons of body. I don't terminate mine however. Just bare wire best. 

grannyring,
same results for me. Best, Rob

Any feedback on sonic differences between the Belden 8402 and Duelund 16GA interconnects? Which is more extended at the top end? How about bass slam? Listening taste almost solely Jazz female vocals and acoustic instrumental especially piano and acoustic guitar. Thanks.

pc123v, Really not even close IMHO. The 16GA is far more extended and open. Far more transparent while retaining all of the wonderful musicality of the Belden. The Belden is good, but next to the Duelund it is rather too dark and muddy sounding.
