| Looking for really fine cables at really low price Thanks Al! Very well done. Yes, it did remove a ground loop issue that only this amp seemed to have in my system. It was indeed a 60 htz hum through the woofers! I have had this same issue with other tubes amps and love the fact that a shielded ca... | |
| Looking for really fine cables at really low price Salectric, I thought the very same thing. Mikirob, that poster on Jeff's site missed the fact that the WE wire does indeed have a rubber like shield in addition to the natural fibers. The rubber like material is actually on the wire before the clo... | |
| Looking for really fine cables at really low price Some folks have written that shielding or any material other than natural fibers like cotton or silk will ruin the sound. A gentleman on the Day blog shared this same feeling stating the WE wire sounds so good because of the natural fibers used to... | |
| Looking for really fine cables at really low price I struggled with wether to shield or not. Decided to build them like the great sounding Belden we all liked. Felt the internal WE wire would simply sound better and result in a cable with the Belden sound only better! The other reason is my 845 am... | |
| Looking for really fine cables at really low price Well mine started off a little brittle up top, but with great promise. Tonight after some 100 hours the sound is a tad dull and flat. I will let it play another 50 hours or do. Strange how this did not happen on the speaker cables. | |
| Looking for really fine cables at really low price Wow.... Good to see Jim Smith is open minded. I will report on the WE IC break in tonight. They have another 48 hours on them now. We will see. | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Array1138I purchased the Aum passive also. The last unit the builder made before getting out. I love the sound as it sounds very much like the Lightspeed, but has remote volume, balance, and other options. It also has two outputs. I loved the Ligh... | |
| Looking for really fine cables at really low price All good points and this is a great thread. The WE wire is different however from other wire and a value of immense proportions. Salectric, I am confident a double run as speaker cables with proper run in time will please you. I have no doubt base... | |
| Looking for really fine cables at really low price Break-in is something real and I have never understood why some would argue different. I have tinnitus and am very sensitive to upper mids and highs. My ears are set off with the wrong combo wether a stereo or live music. My ears and tinnitus reac... | |
| Looking for really fine cables at really low price Rob, we will see what Mr. Day thinks of the WE ICs vs. Belden. Break in seems a little more unpredictable when this wire is used as an IC. Makes no sense to me? Well perhaps it is because the connectors are now in play? Can't be? Oh well, it just ... | |
| Looking for really fine cables at really low price Ha! Jet, the cumulative impact of the WE stranded 16ga wire is just amazing. I placed a second and final IC set of WE ICs in this morning and all is great right now. I find the WE ICs betters the Belden in stage expanse, realism, and top end openn... | |
| Looking for really fine cables at really low price The WE wire does indeed need more time to settle in as ICs. They sounded better at 35 hours then they do right now. A tad ragged and not as awe inspiring as yesterday. I will report back after 70 or so hours.Can still hear portions of greatness, b... | |
| Looking for really fine cables at really low price Jet, Yeah me too! I did shield mine and thus far I love them. We will see what the future holds. I also used Switchcraft connectors. These little things do make a difference. I know connectors sound different and do impact the overall sound of a c... | |
| Looking for really fine cables at really low price Thanks to Jetrexpro for being the first to try it! The best IC recipe with the WE16ga is interesting to me. Mine are shielded just like the Belden and thus far I love the results. | |
| Looking for really fine cables at really low price Jet and others, I now have the WE ICs in my main rig after 30 hours of burn in. Please see my build notes a few posts back. They are not coming out. I decided to shield them with Belden tinned copper tube braiding soldered at BOTH ends and the sou... |
