"New" Western Electric wire

The newer Duelund stranded copper tinned and placed in oil impregnated cotton is better sounding. The WE wire is still covered in a layer of synthetic material (PVC) before the cloth. This closes in the sound more than the more lively and open Duelund. Duelund is also cryo treated. WE is not cryo treated. The Duelund wire is more open, real sounding, lively and more resolute.

You must buy the new  WE in 100 foot spools also.  

Thanks grannring! The Duleland was also on my radar, and was leaning towards that. But I did receive a quote from Western Electric I can buy by the foot. Again thank you for your advice.

Good to know you can buy it by the foot.  It is very good wire.  The Duelund is better, but it costs a little more.
