I suggest to the ones who haven’t done it yet, to read the excellent Jeff Day’s chronicles about the Western electric kind of replicas, made on the same criteria’s (tinned copper, same diam, etc…, but without plastic isolant), by Mr Duelund.
Believe it or not but read it, it can complete ones audiophile’s knowledge.
For my part I replaced my expensive Italian speakers cables by his DCA 16 GA with no regrets nor frustration.
Also for the power cables, some 14AWG Ching Chen cables are on some Uber expensive systems. I have 2 on my power amps, for a few dollars, they are like ghost cables, I mean you don’t hear them and that’s good.
Ok that’s me and my system but I am Very satisfied.
