Looking for really fine cables at really low price

Charles,
I hope you did not mistake my post for a "one size fits all" or something is "the best." Nor was I attempting to impune Volleyguy1 in any manner; just having a small amount of fun (ribbing). No one has to like what I like. I understand that as a given. It is self-evident this is "subjective" hobby with few, if no "absolutes." Sorry if you took this little repartee in the wrong way. I believe if we were live, my tone, body language, you would know I was just joshing around. I suppose us older folks do not know how to indicate that at all times with "smiley faces" and such😇😅. Best, Rob.

P.S. My wife still likes the Silnote (their expensive interconnect) better.

Hi Rob,
Understood,LOL!
I could relate to Jet's comment regarding his wife's preference between the two cables. That's a real life scenario that I certainly understand. Obviously Jet respects the opinion of his wife or he wouldn't have bothered.

Now I feel bad, sorta; but to be extremely clear I really, absolutely don't care what other people like, or don't in this hobby. I always trust my own ears. I expect everyone else to do the same. I alerted this board to the WE16ga and Belden 8402, Day/Yazaki-san, Timbral Listening as food for thought. To me, Day/Yazaki-san "listening bias" is stated up-front what they like and seek. This information should be helpful to anyone considering a Review or design principle. It is interesting to note/compare/contrast the difference between typical Aphile listening (majority) and Timbral listening (minority). In the WE16ga/Belden 8402 we received a concrete example of wires that meet the standards of some reputable "timbral listeners." They are low-cost. That they play in the big leagues is a plus, plus, should be of some interest. Again, not to say your own listening tastes won't like something else better; as the hackneyed expression states, YMMV. OK. Now let us nit-pick to the death a wire costing around $80 with a verisimilitude to the big boys, say, vs $1,800 or more expensive wire. Carry on, but I think many miss the simple point.

Charles,
LoL, my wife keeps asking, "when are you putting the Silnote back in?"

I told her never; but the Silnote could be in her AN Kit-1 if she wanted it there. Hassle resolved. Best, Rob

P.S. I must admit her ears measure better than my ears, but we all realize measurement is not everything.

Mikirob - Volleyguy1 should be able to post his reaction via his preferences, his ears in his system; without being subtly, or not so subtly attacked.

Rhetorical question - Why would you care what he thought?
