Looking for really fine cables at really low price

Nonoise,
I tend to agree with your observations. I ordered a pair of the Supra speaker cables. I need to find out for myself how they fare against the WE. Best, Rob

Mikirob,
I hope they work as well for you as they do for me. I was told by Lars at Sfojn that they need about 100 hours to set and at the 40-50 hour mark I thought they couldn't do better. At around the 100 hour mark they did.

Now it may all be my imagination but I've gone way beyond the 100 hour mark and they seem to allow a bit more here and there and this is with very familiar CDs.

All the best,
Nonoise

It is astounding to me that the about $15,000 Tara Labs speaker cable can be compared to the about $80 WE16ga speaker cable in the same breath, with the WE16ga comparing so close, so favorably, to most if not all the vaunted speaker wires; and perhaps the WE betters those vaunted wires in certain categories such as musicality, if not in overall performance. At any rate it is close, neck and neck. Let us nitpick about the ninth degree of top end extension (as though realistically) men over forty can truly hear it. Or the supposed "inner detail." Let us pay the $14,000 plus difference in cash to get it. Frankly, it's embarrassing, perhaps downright stupid.

Nonoise,

I doubt that they will top the WE, so the Supra will likely end up as my home theatre wire.

I appreciate the discussion taking place on this thread. I can relate to virtually all of it. What is the quest?
1.Currrent High End audiophile sonic criteria or
2.An attempt to get to the emotional heart and soul of music.
They are two different objectives that will lead to a different sound and listening experiences. I'm not interested in debating which is "right", I just know which is more satisfying and fulfilling for me. Reading this thread It's apparent there are others who listen in the same fashion also.
I have no criticism of those who hear and prefer their sound in an alternative manner. This is the true expression of personal choice.

I learned my lesson 6 years ago with my exposure to SET amplifiers. All the warnings and caution about them just turned out to be nonsense and misguided IMO.
Any audio component or product that has the ability to get me more emotionally involved is doing something very right. I 'll let other argue/debate the technology and why it should or shouldn't work. At this point I don't care, I just listen and judge based on what I hear.
