Looking for really fine cables at really low price

Your wife's "who's playing the piano" says all that needs to be said. So innocent, yet so telling.
Charles,

Charles, Yep! Piano is so hard to get right. She heard 26 years worth of LvB sonatas without ever having been fooled. Is it live, or is it Coincident?

Just took delivery of my 6'8" WE 16g speaker wires.

My first impression on taking them out of the package? "THESE are purportedly going to beat what I have now?!"

They're so small, so narrow, so light... so old. I'd hesitate to hook up a lamp with these.

It'll be interesting to see how this goes.

Interesting you say that I find the WE wire has strange settling in more than any other wire I have heard?

As we talked about before this wire could shake many foundations of belief and not just about wire.

Does this mean Silver caps are not better? I only have copper so can not say but many think so...

Why use Silver solder? When wire coated in tin is great? (I can not claim to hearing any solder difference but many can)

Someone mention skin affect being not good with only 25 strands.

Yazaki-san is sending our beliefs for a loop!

Ok Jet a built a set of WE ICs today. Here is my build. Switchcraft gold RCA connectors. I used one pole of 16g WE for positive and one for negative twisting over the length of the cable. Not a tight twist but a turn every 1.5 - 2 inches.

I then place a tinned copper braided shield with 85% coverage and soldered on both negative ends. The braid is made by Belden. I then placed clear heat shrink over the braid and finally a nice gold colored woven cloth outer jacket.

Burning in on my cheap shop system.
