Looking for really fine cables at really low price
Grannyring, There used to be Leeds Radio here in Brooklyn that sold NOS electrical stuff and the whole place had that old electric smell :)) They relocated to the Bronx. How are you using the WE16ga in your amp, pre and DAC? Regards-Jet 
Looking for really fine cables at really low price
Rob, I am rooting for Belden and will update once they have about 100 hours of burn in time. 
Looking for really fine cables at really low price
Wow the Western Electric 16 gauge speaker cable sounds great! After two days of listening I hear tonality richness and depth at least equal to my Audio Note Lexus but the presentation is quite a bit more clean and direct. This is suprising to me t...

The Beldon interconnects arrived just now. I'll burn them for 24 hours and try them 
Looking for really fine cables at really low price
64 ft of WE 16 gauge arrived last Wednesday. Love the smell of vintage components!! I made an 8ft bi wire set since my Audio Note AN-Es use bi wire configuration. Bare wire, not terminated per Grannyring's direction. They have been burning in for ... 
High value, high efficiency speakers for SET amps
Condolences Rebbie. May you and your family be at peace. 
Good sounding Deutsche Grammophon recordings
Czarivey, as it happens I picked up Karajan/Beethoven Symp 1 and 2 from the 1962 cycle today and I agree with you. 1 and 2 have the fancy crown and the silver "stereo" label in the center and it does not sound nearly as good as no 3,5, and 7 which... 
Good sounding Deutsche Grammophon recordings
Brownsfan, I feel its a worthy pursuit trying to find the best of the Berlin/Karajan recordings. Non of them are going to be great sounding, but they are such a great orchestra with a great dictatorial conductor that demanded perfection in a bygon... 
TUBE AMP LOVERS - What SS amp makes you smile???
I ordered 64 ft of the 16gauge Western electric black from the 70's. Will order the Belden soon. This will be fun to see if it can better my Audio Note 86 stand Lexus. Thanks Grannyring! 
TUBE AMP LOVERS - What SS amp makes you smile???
Grannyring, when I google "Western Electric 16 gauge NOS stranded and tinned" it comes up on eBay as "NOS Western Electric KS14GA RED Tinned copper stranded wire 6meter". Is this the wire you are buying? Thanks Jet 
Good sounding Deutsche Grammophon recordings
I just pick up near mint vinyl copies of Karajan's 1962 Beethoven Symphonies no 3, 5 and 7. These recordings sound very good on my system. Back in December I bought the complete set of the 1962 cycle and thought it sounded pretty bad but these ind... 
300B tubes for AN Kegon Set amps?
Cyrus, If you are choosing a tube like Sophia or Takatski, you would have an assurance that these tubes would be fine in your amp since they were designed with the same filament current draw of 1.2 amps and other operating points as the Western El...

Rob, agree with you, seems like they were made for the AN Kit 1 :) 
High value, high efficiency speakers for SET amps
I have never heard the Cornwalls but just looking at them they look like they have gobs of presence and musicality and the price for a used pair is ridiculously low. 
High value, high efficiency speakers for SET amps
If I had the room I would want to try Klipsch Cornwall. Wonder how they would sound with 8 watts.
