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

Jet - I am using slightly modified Klipsch LaScalas (aftermarket crossover and tweeter(s).  I use WE 14ga to wire the midrange to the xover and WE 16ga for the tweeter.  I have tried other wires but am liking the balance with the WE so far.

I tried the WE 16 for the speaker wires (bare) and have had them in and out.  I will try them again sometime.  I have some Rhodium/copper spades and some gold/copper bananas I could try as well.  I may not even bother with the WE 10ga for the 2A3s.

I made a PC for the DAC with WE 14ga for the H/N and a piece of 8ga wire I had laying around for the ground.  I used these connectors:

I have all of these projects in mind for the WE wire I have.  The only stumbling block is the execution.


Thanks Maxima95. Hope you do try the 10ga WE wire to see if you have the same results as I did. The 2a3 tube is less warm than the 300b so you might have different results. Guessing that your 2A3 amp sounds great with the Klipsch LaScalas.
I have purchased WE10GA for the power cords. I saw on this forum somewhere building guide of the the power cables. Have someone a link for a good building guide of the cables?
And I have WE10GA in pair lengths , can I use for the ground wire normal copper AWG10-8 cord for the ground , or is there a advantage of using same WE10GA ? I have some WE14GA leftovers if its necessary.

I want to use this on my Pass XA160.5 , Pass XP20, DAC la Scala MKII
slowikpl, building PC and speaker cables are well outlined on Chris VenHaus website, as well as on DIYaudio. Like Grannyring, my best experience is to twist all three wires together (LessLoss is one example of PC manufacturer that does it too) with no shielding for most applications.

Re ground wire, as a general rule, I always use the same type for all three.

Hi group. Seems I am moving and will have lost my dedicated music room. The new space requires our stereo to be in the living room. I cannot have all the rectangular boxes, as my wife says, in this room.

That said, I have made up some nice WE 10ga cords that I will no longer need. They are broken in a ready for prime time. Feel free to contact me to talk about it .
