Looking for really fine cables at really low price

I have been listening to excellent sounding Exemplar exception cables for the last several weeks. While my HFCables are better they are also much more expensive than the below $500 cables.

They offer an excellent sound stage, dynamics, and top to bottom quality sound. Not only are they inexpensive but they are very portable and easy to install.

I am not a dealer or investor in this company.

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.
Rob, for my thoughts on why a high degree of correlation between cable performance and cable price should not be expected, see my posts here and here, and in the links provided therein.

While the findings you and the others have reported about the WE and Belden cables are certainly a wonderful and valuable discovery, IMO they are not at all surprising.

Enjoy! Best regards,

Hi Almarg,
I read your referenced articles. Brilliant as always.

Grannyring, you should write a comment on Jeff Day Blog about your interconnect/digital experience. I believe many of Day's readers will have interest including Yazaki-san. Many kudos to you for pushing this envelope.
Jet, as well.

Thanks to Jetrexpro for being the first to try it! The best IC recipe with the WE16ga is interesting to me. Mine are shielded just like the Belden and thus far I love the results.

Charles,
As always a level-headed, thoughtful post. Like you in my audio journey its not worthwhile to debate what listening objective is right. They are both right. It is personal choice. What is truly remarkable is that the WE16ga to a great degree can satisfy both camps. Best, Rob
