Looking for really fine cables at really low price Waiting on your comparison Jet. I like the WE IC's and the Belden is now back up. I use a nude set with a shielded set also. Perfect combo! | |
Review: Lahave Audio Khara Speaker Hi guys. I love these speakers, but it is time to move on! Why? Because I have seen the light. Well, I heard the 8 watt SET amps we all love on true high efficiency speakers and I fell instantly in love. These Lahave speakers are 90db and somewhat... | |
Review: Lahave Audio Khara Speaker Rgs92They are great speakers indeed. I am going to try SET amps and 100db efficient speakers for a change and will be selling my speakers soon. If you know anyone interested in a great set of floor standers for a great price, then please let me kn... | |
Looking for really fine cables at really low price Mitch2, yes I saw those Cryo 8402's and I want to buy some, but......oh my! | |
Looking for really fine cables at really low price Jet, look at the barrel that fits over the cable on the Switchcraft connector. The far end, end opposite the RCA, this will show you how wide you can go on the shield. You would never slide this barrel over 1/2 inch braiding. It was hard for me to... | |
Looking for really fine cables at really low price Jet, look at Jeff Day's blog/thread on the WE IC's as there is a link to "Take Five Audio" for Belden braided tube shielding. They offer various sizes. I used 1/4-1/3 inch as 1/2 inch would be too big. It does expand a little. Hard to work with th... | |
Looking for really fine cables at really low price Doing some late night listening on monoblock SET 300b amps tonight. I have been going back and forth between the shielded WE ICs I built vs the Belden. After some extended listening it is quite clear to me the WE IC is the better IC in my system o... | |
Looking for really fine cables at really low price As an FYI, I am at some 130 hours. I pray they stay right here:) | |
Looking for really fine cables at really low price Jet & others, well the WE ICs sound stunningly beautiful today. Jet, as I read your comments about when the WE ICs are at their burn-in best, I feel your excitement and pleasure. I am there right now. Right now as I listen. I know others have ... | |
Looking for really fine cables at really low price Charles, I will build a nude set of WE IC's and compare once it has fully burned it. I will use this one between my dac and preamp.It may react differently in my system vs. another's based on Al's comments above. | |
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. |
