Looking for really fine cables at really low price

Because of the length of this thread, I held off reading it for quite a while. Now I regret that.

Could someone please provide a link to the *exact* WE16 that Tajacobs is selling on eBay (if there's any left.)

There are a lot of products on her page, and I'd like to ensure that I pick up the right one.

Thanks!

For example, I see this:

Stranded black 16g

Is that correct?

Thank you, Rob. I'll contact her.

Rob

And thanks, Jet.

Sadly, I don't think 6' will work for my needs. I'll double check, though.

Mikirob --

Problem is, I think I'm looking at the stranded tinned, but it doesn't say so specifically. I have a message in, but so far, no reply. It would be nice if the listing was more specific... don't want to buy the wrong thing.

Jet --

Thanks for the link. I popped on 2 pairs. They had me at "soaked in" and it looks as though 6' 8" will just about work, although I'll have to clip those terminals off.

Next issue is that my Maggies only take bananas, so I won't be able to go in with bare wire, as far as I know. I'm sure I'll work something out.

Jet -- Yes, indeed. This should be interesting, especially given the price.

So, I picked up the two pairs of 6' 8" 16g "tinned 25 tinny strands" seen HERE, one pair for each speaker on a single-strand run. Seems cool, and I don't have to wait the 100 hours for burn in.

What's frustrating is that at these prices, I'd like to try out a double-run similar to Grannyring's experimentation, but I can't discern if the spooled cable is what I'm looking for, and tajacobs has not yet returned an answer.

I do have some 'evidence' that might be helpful:

This spool of red says "probably from the 90s", and I'm okay with that, as earlier stock is probably gone now. But, the description does not suggest that it's tinned, which seems to be a big contribution to the results others have had. My thought is to get 4 lengths of this, two for each speakers' positive posts.

But, on the black wire listed, the picture shows an end that looks, to me, like a tinned wire, so I'm thinking that both of these are what I'm looking for. If so, another 4 lengths for the other speaker posts.

Only difference I can see is one is from the 80s, one from the 90s. (I think they'd only struggle with the 70s, and most of us old folks have done.)

Think this would work out?

Daggnabit...

I should've gotten there earlier. Although I got the used 6'8" wire pairs, when I tried to order off the spool in order to double run, I couldn't seem to muster up enough quantity to get the job done.

"3 left", I assume means "3 feet left." That's not much.

Just took delivery of my 6'8" WE 16g speaker wires.

My first impression on taking them out of the package? "THESE are purportedly going to beat what I have now?!"

They're so small, so narrow, so light... so old. I'd hesitate to hook up a lamp with these.

It'll be interesting to see how this goes.
