Looking for really fine cables at really low price

Jet, did you use the new Duelund 16ga wire? It is better than the WE16.  I am referring to the new Duelund wire. 

I love the fact both you and Salectric are open minded enough to try this wire. Not everyone is. The new Duelund wire is wonderful for ICs.  I will try the thinner gauge per Salectric comments when it is available. 

Bleeder resistors did have a negative sonic effect on some tube preamp builds I completed recently. I have had the same experience Jetrexpro.

Granny, my speaker cable is a Wireworld Eclipse, the original version that dates back to the 1990s.  I have tried many other cables over the years but I always return to the Eclipse.

Grannyring it's fun trying out this vintage wire.  It hasn't worked out as well for me as it has for others but it's not surprising since I have audio note speakers and audio note output transformers on my amp that audio note wire might work better for me.

 I am using the WE 16 as hook up wire not duelund. I hate the amount of time it takes to break this wire in so I'm going to try something different this time. I've got more Duelund wire coming as well as the solidcore 14 gauge silver wire so I'll make power cords out of both of them and burn them in that way so when I'm ready to install them inside of my amp as hook up wire the burn in time should be less. 

I realize this is off-topic but for those who might be interested in trying different resistors in their tube electronics, I highly recommend the new Audio Note Silver tantalum resistors.  They are only available as 2 watt and so may not be suitable for all applications.  

I have gradually been converting my electronics over to use the AN Silvers in most critical spots, and I have been very pleased with the improved sound quality each time.  The Silvers have greater resolving power, better micro-dynamics and better transparency than the resistors they replaced which include older style Audio Note Tantalums, Mills wirewounds and others.  Unfortunately they take a long time to break in, 100 hours or more.  Both PartsConnexion in Canada and Hifi Collective in UK carry the full range of Audio Note resistors.
