| Looking for really fine cables at really low price Before I went to bed last night I put the kondo cables back in and listened to them this morning and then I put in the Western electric cables. They have most all of the inner resolution and beauty of kondo plus a huge jump in musicality and emoti... | |
| Looking for really fine cables at really low price Grannyring, I have about 150 hours on the WE16ga interconnects that I built and think they are worth doing. In my system and to my ears they provide as much musicality and emotional connection as the Belden ICs but with a slightly leaner more dire... | |
| Looking for really fine cables at really low price I have been listening to Kondo silver interconnects for the better part of the week and tonight I put the Belden interconnects back in and WOW so much music coming from the Belden interconnects. Soon I'll have something to say about Western elect... | |
| Looking for really fine cables at really low price Grannyring, I kept it simple for now. No shield and very small low mass RCA plugs that I have laying around. I cleaned with 99% alcohol both the plugs and the stripped WE wire before using flux to do the solder work. | |
| Looking for really fine cables at really low price Grannyring I made interconnects out of WE16ga speaker wire today. A quick listen sounds like we would all expect. Very natural tone. More in about a week :) | |
| Looking for really fine cables at really low price I forgot to mention that I bought some of the last 7ft pieces of WE16ga that tajacobs has for sale on eBay so I can have some on hand for more speaker cable and to expiriment with making interconnects out of them. Grannyring, have you tried that y... | |
| Looking for really fine cables at really low price Mitch2,The "extra warmth" was the phrase I used to describe the sound of the lower mids before the Belden IC's were fully broken in. I had become concerned since I had well over 100 hours on them and still hearing in my system on many classical or... | |
| Looking for really fine cables at really low price Rob/Grannyring, After Six days the extra warmth has gone away. These Belden ICs are sounding great. Suprising that it took this long since before putting them in they spent a full 100 hours burning in in the back room. | |
| Looking for really fine cables at really low price Rob, agreed that it is difficult to record strings and not get a muddled mess unless the engineer knows what they are doing and are recording in a great hall. I'm going to continue to use the Belden and spend plenty of time enjoying the music flow... | |
| Looking for really fine cables at really low price The WE16g is sounding awesome in my system. Agree with Grannyring that the Belden/WE combo is very musical and has a rich beautiful natural tone for days and days! One thing that bothers me a bit about the Belden IC's is the extra warmth and richn... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil The Mullard CV378 drops more voltage than the 5AR4. If your amp has a B+ of say 425v with the 5ar4 your B+ with the CV378 will drop to around 405v. In my amp the CV 378 makes the sound more relaxed more rich and luxurious. 5ar4 sounds more dynamic... | |
| Looking for really fine cables at really low price The WE16 gauge speaker wire sounds great. I understand what the fuss is all about. The Belden interconnects have over 100 hours of burn in so they went into my system this weekend and these IC's also sound really great as well. They sound complete... | |
| Looking for really fine cables at really low price Rob, just took a look at Shun Mook's Vintage WE IC. Lots-O-money! LOL! I bought lots of parts at Leeds Radio until they moved to the Bronx. Sounds like your father-in-law was a DIYer. As I remember you are going to build a AN Kit 1 right? It would... | |
| Looking for really fine cables at really low price I suppose if someone was really crazy they could build a set of interconnects out of WE16gauge, LOL! Might not be such a crazy idea. | |
| Looking for really fine cables at really low price Gotcha thanks Grannyring. After hearing this wire, I'm sure it sounds great. |
