Granny ring, Jetrexpro, all


Are any of you building power cords with the Western Electric WE16ga? I see that a bunch of fellas on the Jeff Day Blog are making them with very good success. Day has also made some and it seems he may install on his
Mac MC30s. How about it? Any updates? Best, Rob

Bill I forgot to mention that the Canare F10 sound awful before they are burned in so give them 10 days of burn in time. Also I wanted  to answer your question - on both the Belden and WE wire I think the Canere plugs added layering and depth to the mid ranges of both cables. But at least for me it doesn't transform either cable into something they are not. Jet
Jazz, I made three sets of your 3a version and love them! I used the 10ga also. I also,p use the 10ga for speaker cables. I find them better than the 16ga doubled up. 
Bill,  happy to hear that! Which connectors did you use?
Many manufacturers braid the power cords like LossLess and I find this, so far, better than the non or twisted versions. I will stick to WE10ga for power, although the version 4 I made with 16ga and a double run of just the hot in a thin plastic tube (it should be called version 4a) sounds nice with my DAC.  I can well image if the WE16ga is stripped and put in the tube with cotton it will even sound nicer.

A 1,000ft roll of WE 14ga (late vintage 1999) is heading my place -  Ho ho ho! - for my home theater, nice project replacing the very long runs of in-wall speaker wires during the break.
Jet, thanks so much for your suggestion of the Canare RCA connectors. They are just wonderful filling my room with beautiful and enveloping mids. I do prefer them to the Switchcraft to be sure. They are so very inexpensive also! Just a nice upgrade to an already fantastic cable. I find the highs and upper mids are smoother with absolutely no loss in detail. Fills my space with more layers of mids as if the stage is now some 25% larger. Most interesting. These connectors are under $4 each!
