Looking for really fine cables at really low price

Signature8 when I made shielded ICs with WE Stranded 16g wire I remember ordering 1/2inch shield. It was very hard threading two conductors through the shield so you need plenty of room.

Steakster I also prefer stranded speaker wire over solid core. Currently happiest with Audio Note Lexus lintz after trying many.

Just put back in the only other pair of speaker cables I have that display the same vintage (real sounding) tone that I get from the WE wire and they consist of multiple, 26awg 6N copper wires individually insulated in cotton in a specific geometry on top (HF and MF) and quad connected 16 awg 4N copper in cotton to the LF so the aggregate is 16 awg on top and 13 awg on the bottom.  Being solid core and untinned, they do sound different from the stranded tinned WE wire I have been using (dual 10awg pairs to each speaker) but they have pretty much the same tone and the differences are subtle...maybe a little less warmth and slightly more incisiveness but not quite the fullness provided by the 10 awg WE wires although not lean in any respect.  Trade-offs but very similar tone.  WE wires are back on the Cable Cooker for a tune-up.
