Looking for really fine cables at really low price

Mortsnets thanks for sharing. Apparently Jeff likes the Belden for their "rich smooth forgiving presentation". If a listener wants to smooth over the rough edges his preference might be Belden. This would be a listener preference. In my system the WE16ga interconnects do not hide any of the rough edges of but at the same time does not sound overly bright. So WE at this point is my preference. I have well over 300 hours on them at this point. Jet

I see the WE wire is available right up to 10ga.

Has anyone tried compared the various WE ga's?

It all appears the same just more strands.

Running the 16ga in two separate systems. (for testing)

It would have been useful if Jeff Day had tried a shielded version of the WE 16 ga.

Maxima9, I agree. I plan on building a shielded version. Currently I am running unshielded. WE16ga is so interesting sounding to me that I want to learn as much as possible before drawing any firm conclusions. Incidentally I don't necessarily agree that Belden sound forgiving at least I don't hear them that way in my system. But the WE16 IC never sounded polite to me and before they were broken in there was times that they sounded aggressive. WE16 IC are so far musical force and very expressive in my system.

I would also add that I don't want my system to sound forgiving. Once again a listener preference.
