They will build them for you. Are you wanting to build your own? If not, just order the set from the site and they will build them for you with all the right parts etc...they follow the Jeff Day blog recipe. 
Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil
Please remember what Tony Gee says about Jupiter caps matters not at all for electronics for one reason. He only used them in speakers! My experience and comments are in electronics. Caps do not necessarily sound the same in both applications. The...

Here is the link. They build them just like the Jeff Day site and expert amp builder suggest using the same Switchcraft connectors and special solder. Need to buy two for a set of two. Takes about 4 days to make a set and ship out.They take about ...

I have heard the Mogami and the 8402 will amaze you! No kidding. I have built Mogami ic's and speaker cables in the past and the Belden is special or should I saw more special :)

Yes, I doubled up on the runs and when combined with the Belden IC the net result is awesome. The sum of the two together is greater than the individual greatness of each. This has to be one of the greatest all time audio buys. How could this have...

Meant to type slight and not huge......

Maxima95, that is exactly what I did. The improvement is slight and huge. I do like it better however with two runs. Very direct sounding wire and quite lively.

I now have two runs per pole of the WE wire. I twisted them and put a nice black Tech Flex netting over them. I found one run to sound very good. With burn in however they were a little, just a little , too tilted up in the highs after 50 hours or...

Mitch2 can you provide a link showing the braid method you are going to use? Thanks! 
Looking for really fine cables at really low price
Mitch2 I have more wire here I am going to try a double run on each leg to compare to one. Simple to do and I am now quite familiar with the sound of just one run. This wire does become quite a bit more lively in the top end after 50 hours or so o...

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.

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 :)

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!

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...

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...
