Looking for really fine cables at really low price

This coming weekend we are having the owner of the Kondo ICs over for some listening and barbecue. He and his wife are coming. We are going to blindly listen to all three interconnects. Belden, WE16ga and Kondo silver and see which they prefer. He knows I am no longer interested in buying the Kondo but he does not know how highly I think of the WE interconnects. This will be fun :) Jet

Jim Smith, audio set-up Guru and best-selling author of "GET BETTER SOUND" is currently using WE16ga speaker wire and is building Grannyring model WE16ga interconnect.

Wow.... Good to see Jim Smith is open minded. I will report on the WE IC break in tonight. They have another 48 hours on them now. We will see.

Grannyring keep us posted on the break in. I am courious if it will be similar to mine. At around 250 hours I am still hearing subtle changes day to day. Last night the upper mids sounded a bit harsh and aggressive and tonight these interconnects sound wonderful. In my system it seems there is a fine line with these WE16 interconnects- the highs can straddle the line between being slightly brittle and a wonderfully expressive. Tonight they have excellent balance from top to bottom. One word I would never use to describe these interconnects is "polite". I love being able to say that! After about 200 hours they have been fully expressing their musical selves! - Jet

Well mine started off a little brittle up top, but with great promise. Tonight after some 100 hours the sound is a tad dull and flat. I will let it play another 50 hours or do.

Strange how this did not happen on the speaker cables.
