Looking for really fine cables at really low price

I am using WE10 gauge stranded cable now for speaker cable. I like it a tad more than the WE16. I use the WE16 for ICs, but for best results they should be shielded. I liked the shielded WE16 quite a bit more than the Belden. The Belden is very good in my system however.

Grannyring can you describe the difference from WE16 and WE10?

Volley, very slight difference in my rig. Not a big difference. Just a tad more scale and increased stage size. Tad more fullness in the bass. That's really it.

My rig is very resolving and a little more weight or bass body was good for my system.

I am waiting to receive 14 gage WE cable, and I read that cable burn-in really changes sound for the better. I do not have any cable cooker, but was thinking of running 12v DC through the cable for as long as it needs (I am thinking of cutting an older laptop battery charger and connecting this wire(s) in between and let it run with some 12v load on the other end). Is that any different than $1,000 cable cooker? Thanks.
