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

Anyone tried to insert a silver strand in the IC or SC ?
For fun and because all my systems are far from bright (tube mono blocks, NAD and Aragon amps), I added one 7N copper+pure silver 16ga in the signal path of an interconnect which is terminated with WBT Nextgen 110 cu. That IC yielded a more open, faster sound and, my goal, extended highs.

Thanks mitch2 for reminding me to make 7ga PC, so far, I contended with just one single twisted pair + ground counter spiraled or all braided. From what I can see of TWL 7+ pictures, the pairs seems just twisted.

Lastly, anyone A/B'ed the WE against the graphene variants (SR Black, Cerious Technology Graphene Extreme)?
Hi Rob, how do you like the Devore 0/96? Must be very nice!

jazzonthehudson, very interesting idea. So you added a single strand of 16g copper and a single strand of 16g silver to the we16ga interconnects? You described it as faster and more open. Did anything change in the mid range and low end? Thanks jet.
Hi Rob,
In an ideal world I'd love to hear the W.E. Coincident Statement, Cerious Audio Graphene  and the Synergistic Research Black power cables in my system.  My belief is that all four of them would be very good. 

Congratulations Rob, 
I'd love to hear your Dynamo and Orangutan O96 pairing,  no doubt that it sounds wonderful. 
Charles,

Hi Jazz, If you read some of the reviews of the TWL 7+, they discuss how the 7+ PCs are Litz braided.  I surmised they are using WE wire based on the comments about the wire in the reviews (see below) and reading the strand counts of their various products on their website.  Their cords also have some other things going on such as deep cryo treatment and something they call "passive ground plane technology."   I  have no idea what that is but it could be as simple as a shield connected at one end and spiraling the ground wire outside the shield, or maybe something more innovative.

Below is an excerpt from the PFO review of TWL PCs.  Does the description of their wire source remind you of any companies being discussed in this thread?
Peter Grzybowski, President of Triode Wire Labs, found a highly annealed, durable wire that sounded extremely musical and better than anything they had experimented with prior. The wire happened to be designed by a corporation that was dedicated to the propagation of sound quality, at one time employing 10,000 scientists and engineers! This corporation held a tremendous amount of innovations in audio equipment and devices, such as triode tubes, recording, and acoustics, including the patent for Oxygen Free Copper. From further research, the wire used in Triode Wire Labs products was specified for use in the construction of theater amplifiers (including the 300B) as well as recording equipment (Westrex), with ties to Ampex and Altec as well.
