Looking for really fine cables at really low price

Rob,
The WE14 tentatively seems to be working out well, as does the Belden. I am getting about 3-5 hours a day of burn in listening to Chopin during dinner and watching movies with my beloved wife in the evening. I even ordered some opera dvds yesterday! Given that my source is a less than spectacular Oppo 93, things are sounding pretty good. I'm still doing some work on getting all the music and video streaming functionality working. Once I have about 40-50 hours of burn in, I will bring a decent source downstairs and really do an evaluation. While I won't have the luxury of an A/B with the WE 16, I should be able to make a judgment as to if the 14 generally matches the character of the 16 as all of you have described it.
As for football, I am of course most happy to wish the Giants a win. Good thing you are not a JETS JETS JETS fan, in which case I could not be so accommodating.

I will certainly be very interested in hearing about the Dynamo mods as the new caps and wire settle in. That amp in stock form is just a little treasure. I am also very interested in the single ended EL 34 pentode amp that Dan Wright is working on. It is a stunningly beautiful design, and by all accounts its music is just as beautiful as its appearance. I'm guessing it is going to be a little pricey though.

Brownsfan,
Jets, NEVER! I'll put the Browns on my "to root for list."

That Dan Wright looks like a beautiful piece, hope it sounds great as well. I guess I'll get to hear at RMAF, if I make it. ??? Best, Rob

Bill,
Your "rant" is no problem you raised obviously valid points of which I Have no argument with. Of course all materials are composed of fundamental particles (building blocks). The question is how and why do these various materials influence sound quality. What is happening to the signal? What is taking place and at what level, molecular ? Why does paper, cotton or silk differ from teflon or polyethylene? There are builders/designers who have compared and report definite sound characteristics of various types of materials. So Bill my only curiosity is why is it so. Like I've said before, there are always more questions than satisfying answers. No reasonable person would deny that all matter is made of essential atomic building blocks.
Charles,

Jet & others, well the WE ICs sound stunningly beautiful today. Jet, as I read your comments about when the WE ICs are at their burn-in best, I feel your excitement and pleasure.

I am there right now. Right now as I listen. I know others have used the word real, but real is the best word. The music, the singers, all sound so real. Real real. It's as if I am hearing the songs live, not the recordings I am used to. The lyrics/words seems to extend longer with far more articulation, emotion, breath, intention....oh the vocals just seem more human and the music so much more intentional and real. I am hearing every single voice inflection in such a beautiful and human manner. Not a stereo, but humans are right here with me with the delicate nuance of every syllable so evident and real. Human.

Like you Jet, I am mesmerized by the realness of this sonic experience. No, the shield is staying on! I bet it sounds very much the same as your nude ones Jet.

This WE wire is arresting in aggregate in my system. I would sell any piece in my system before letting go of this wire. Ha! That is truth.

As an FYI, I am at some 130 hours. I pray they stay right here:)
