Looking for really fine cables at really low price
Mitch2 that's what makes this thread so intersting is all the differing listening impressions.Salectric thanks for the update. I just ordered four Canare F10 RCAs. :)))

Ps, The center pin on the RCA is Positive (hot). The longer outside shaft is Negative (Ground). Your shield and negative wires can both be soldered to that longer shaft. Positive goes to the center pin. I don't have my Belden IC's in front of me s...

Thanks Gannyring and Mitch2. I just ordered 1/4 braided shield.

Thanks Grannyring.

I would also add that I don't want my system to sound forgiving. Once again a listener preference.

Maxima9, I agree. I plan on building a shielded version. Currently I am running unshielded. WE16ga is so interesting sounding to me that I want to learn as much as possible before drawing any firm conclusions. Incidentally I don't necessarily agre...

Mortsnets thanks for sharing. Apparently Jeff likes the Belden for their "rich smooth forgiving presentation". If a listener wants to smooth over the rough edges his preference might be Belden. This would be a listener preference. In my system the...

Hi Grannyring, is this the shield you bought from ebay? "10' 8 AWG Gauge 3/8" X.090" Braided Flat Grounding Strap Ground Wire Copper Tin".I want to make sure I have the correct diameter. Is 3/8 inches enough to fit the positive and negative leads ...

Thanks for the update Grannyring. I've got enough WE16ga for three interconnects so later on I should build a pair with shielding. We have folks coming over for listening and a barbecue today it will be interesting to see what they think of my nud...

Grannyring Can't wait to hear more of you're impressions and I am very courious to see if they shut down on you like they did to me after about 160-170 hours. I think that at over 250 hours my WE interconnects have finally stopped changing their s...

I am excited for you Grannyring! It's a revelation when they turn that corner and become really expressive!

Thank you Almarg This does sound reasonable:"un-shielded cable giving the perception of more air and top end extension". But in this case I am hearing this openness throughout the entire frequency range. To my ears I hear a more fully developed ha...

With you Grannyring. We are all experimenting I know nothing about the science of building IC's and most IC's do have shielding so it is natural to do that. Without shield I may be introducing all sorts of crap into my system that I cant hear.

Charles, that's the beauty of this Western electric cable. I am guessing that the insulation that it was produced with is contributing to the sound that we have all fallen in love with. So I am not covering it with any dielectric. My instinct is t...

Just checked our mailbox and the switchcraft RCA plugs arrived. I'll build a 2nd set of WE16ga interconnects in the next few days and burn them this time for 300 hours...LOL! before trying in my 300b amp. I'll be able to compare them to the WE 16g...
