| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Hi Charles,I'm really excited and antsy as I must wait for my brother's DIY expertise. It seems like I've been in a holding pattern for a good part of the summer; waiting on the house, waiting to purchase the Franks, waiting to mod the Dynamo and ... | |
| Looking for really fine cables at really low price One other note,I too, like Brownsfan, truly thankful for the many Golden Ear Audiogon members who point us in a worthwhile direction that helps us enjoy the music. Where else can you find an Almarg who is so kind and generous with his knowledge an... | |
| Looking for really fine cables at really low price Thanks, Brownsfan,I learned a long time ago that if film Reviewer A likes a movie I will likely hate it. If Reviewer B likes a movie, so too, likely will I. Same scenario in the audio world; and most everything can be taken with "a grain of salt" ... | |
| Looking for really fine cables at really low price Volleyguy1,I understand. It is a big deal. My belief is that the Audio industry has taken a number of paths, not always for the better to serve the music. Once in a while counterintuitive just works. When I go and put up for sale my Goertz 99.999 ... | |
| Looking for really fine cables at really low price Thank you Grannyring and Brownsfan,For articulating this subject in such a precise, clear, well-organized manner; I need to echo your statements and also confirm that in my system the WE16ga is as resolving or more so than the many high $$$$ cable... | |
| Looking for really fine cables at really low price Another point to note, Mitch2, this is not an apple to apple comparison. If you have a too thick midrange perhaps it is because of the way you constructed the wiring? Most of us have followed the Yazaki-san, Jeff Day simplicity route...with bare w... | |
| Looking for really fine cables at really low price Nonoise,All your descriptors of the Supra 3.4 apply to the WE16ga. The 16ga is NOT too dense midrange or rolled off and shelved highs. Not in my system, Grannyring, Jeff Day, Yazaki-san, and all the others that are wiping out the remaining WE16ga ... | |
| Looking for really fine cables at really low price Volleyguy1Do yourself a favor and go to Jeff Day Blog at jeffsplace.me and read his change in his Dueland Cast to the Western Electric 16ga to his Tannoy Westminster Royals...read the rest of his material WE wire his Macs, Garrard 301, and his oth... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Try tajacobs on eBay, the reliable seller. It looks as though he still has some WE16ga stranded tinned copper in black. The color does not matter. Best, Rob | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Yes, Volleyguy1,It is Back to the Future! It is "real sound!" Or, musicality that gets you close to real flesh and blood musicians and their instruments with their emotion coming through; and not in any old-fashioned syrupy way, but a fusion of th... | |
| Looking for really fine cables at really low price Mitch2,I believe the WE16ga, along with the Belden 8402 in combo with WE does all of the above and brings the listener closer to "real sound." It is natural, whole, organic, more like what one hear in the flesh. Best, Rob, YMMV. | |
| Looking for really fine cables at really low price Mitch2,Thanks for the info.I thought it would be useful to again post Jeff Day's "Listening Bias" as this is pretty much Yazaki-san's bias as well as mine and some "kindred spirits" here on Audiogon. I think this type of "listening" provides a mor... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil That's it Grannyring! They sound real. That is what Yazaki-san has pursued most of his adult life, building "Real Sound" musical equipment. If you read his "listening bias" he nails it. I wish I had your skill, still waiting on my DIY brother to c... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Volley guy, I believe that Yazaki-san (the person responsible for bringing the WE16ga to our attention via Jeff Day blog, jeffsplace.me) mentioned that if your speaker cable is longer than three (3) meters, you might consider the WE14ga, if I reme... | |
| How old are your speakers I still use the very underrated Infinity Prelude Compositions in one of my systems. Too bad Harmon Kardon screwed the pouch on this one. Robert Harley reviewed these in Stereophile circa 2001-02; he paired them up with the Cary 300SEI, which I als... |
