| Looking for really fine cables at really low price Not only the above, but NOS WE speaker cables costing over $3,000. | |
| Looking for really fine cables at really low price The Cable Company was advertising Shun Mook Power Cables using, what else, Western Electric wire for about $1,000-$1,500, comparing them to other $5,000 cables for sound quality. | |
| Looking for really fine cables at really low price Metman,Are you using the WE/Belden in combo or something else for interconnect? I'm curious since there seems to be a real synergy between the two. In my system, never bright, really gorgeous tone, upper register of violins spot on, brass likewise. | |
| Short speaker cable recommendation Yes, the Belden is easy to make balanced. Refer to the Day blog above. See Grannyring link. The Link in the Day Blog gets you to the Belden seller. They can do the balanced terminations for you. But you should read the Jeff Day Blog with all comme... | |
| Short speaker cable recommendation Grannyring,I'm so happy you are enjoying this combo of wire as much as I am. I keep pinching myself, thinking Day and Yazaki-san helped me find the sound I was looking for for cheap $ after all these years of spending $$$$ for wire that can't matc... | |
| Looking for really fine cables at really low price Jeff Day states on his Blog, not necessary. You can basically do it either way. I twisted mine. | |
| High value, high efficiency speakers for SET amps David,Thank you for pointing the direction for some mods to improve them further, not that there is much more needed, they sound very good as they are. | |
| High value, high efficiency speakers for SET amps Jetrexpro,I'm with you. I almost forgot how good these speakers are. I haven't listened to them in about 15 years; but you know, I remember them sounding really good with very low watts, so I You Tubed them and sure enough, they were really excell... | |
| Short speaker cable recommendation Yazaki-san, in Day Blog said same, especially if you have a run beyond 4 meters if I remember correctly. I believe he stated 16ga better up to slightly longer than 3 meters. | |

If I switch in the Silnote Reference (silver/gold/copper) also a excellent interconnect, it does become a bit more lively, but not... | |
| Looking for really fine cables at really low price Nonoise,Thanks for the info on Triode Wire Labs power cable. I suspect you are absolutely right, both Supra and TWL did their homework and their internal wire could possibly be the old WE stuff of various gage. I am planning to make a bunch of cha... | |
| Looking for really fine cables at really low price Mitch2,Jeff Day cooked his cables on the Audioharma Cable Cooker. Day thought eight (8) hours was enough, more not necessary, he explains on his blog which you should read. Grannyring links above. Best, Rob | |
| Short speaker cable recommendation Philjolet,I just checked the link and it still works. The eBay seller of the Western Electric 16ga wire is named tajacobs. Legit, that is where Grannyring, I, and the Day Blog responders are buying. The only other sellers I am aware of are in Japa... | |
| Short speaker cable recommendation Grannyring, I'll have to defer to you about all the DIY. I have NO experience. But I'm willing to purchase both the Jupiter and Arizona Cactus, Green/Blue and compare/contrast. I trust I can call on you, Jetrexpro, as well as others on Agon as I v... | |
