| Looking for really fine cables at really low price I should also mention the wire is no longer too tame or mellow. It is very dynamic and resolved after break-in. As alive and resolved as my past set of expensive and nice pure silver cables. | |
| Short speaker cable recommendation Back to the original poster.....did you decide on a cable? I sure hope you try the WE16a for less than the cost of shipping other branded speaker cables :) | |
| Looking for really fine cables at really low price Well the WE16 ga has now been playing over 70 hours and sounding very good indeed. I can find no fault. $1.39 per foot and no terminations needed! | |
| Short speaker cable recommendation Yeah, went to that site and cannot find the caps in question. Need to make a call it seems. I bet the builder has not heard the Jupiter or Duelund caps, but it would be an interesting comparison. The builder seems to use the Arizona caps like a ch... | |
| Short speaker cable recommendation Mikirob, the Jupiter caps are special, very special. Not sure about the Arizona caps? Just not sure. I have done MUCH cap rolling and the Jupiters come out on top. I bet Yazaki-San has not even tried them to be honest. If the Arizona caps are chea... | |
| Short speaker cable recommendation Mitch2, I am replacing and have replaced the Jupiter wire you mention as this stuff is much better sounding. Hard to believe...I know. I would not try to do anything special in terms of doubling up the gauge etc... Until you simply try one run for... | |
| Short speaker cable recommendation Mikirob, which model of the Arizona caps and where can one buy them? I have never seen then at the usual parts stores like Parts Connextion etc.. | |
| Short speaker cable recommendation I have never found stranded copper to sound as good as solid core...never. That is until this stuff came along. Important to always be open minded in this hobby. This wire bests the finest silver cables I have owned also. I don't understand why, b... | |
| Short speaker cable recommendation Do yourself a big favor and purchase 8 feet of this Western Electric NOS wire from the 70s. It will cost you some $15 and be as good or better than cables costing you hundreds or thousands new or used. Just strip the ends and connect the bare wire... | |
| Looking for really fine cables at really low price They have changed already and are a tad sharper sounding......not quite as smooth, but more detail and better imaging. Hope I get back that smoothness however. I will update as they burn in running 24/7. | |
| Looking for really fine cables at really low price I needed a longer set of speaker cables and received 28 feet of the WE16 GA today. I made a set of cables with bare wire connections on both ends. I have had them playing for 4 hours now. They replaced very highly regarded $1500 cables. Thus far I... | |
| Looking for really fine cables at really low price Garaneau, I just ordered a set and yes Best Tronics wires them exactly the same as Day/Yazaki. Shield soldered to ground on both ends. | |
| Looking for really fine cables at really low price I purchased from that eBay seller and we will see on the speaker cables. Are you guys terminating or just hooking it up bare wire? I am thinking of going bare wire since it is tinned. | |
| High value, high efficiency speakers for SET amps Yes Rebbi they do look very nice indeed. I will split the cost of the AN speakers with you and you can use them for 6 months then my turn for 6 months! | |
| High value, high efficiency speakers for SET amps Whoops my big mistake. I meant Sonist, not Tonian. I always mix them up as they look very similar to me. At least my mind thinks so. I did not hear the Tonian speakers, but was unimpressed with Sonist at the show. Sorry fellow Agoners. |
