Performer-in-Room Quality with Speakers?
On a relatively small budget I've managed to obtain a very realistic presence that I'm very happy with. I'm using Tekton Enzo speakers driven by a Raven Audio Blackhawk LE integrated amp with RCA black plate 6L6 power tubes along with the NOS RCA ... 
Raven Audio Tube amps
I love my Raven Audio Blackhawk LE integrated amp. Only its second day in my system and it has enthralled me. The most musically real sounding amp I've ever owned.....and I've been fortunate enough to own ARC, Levinson and Odyssey, to name a few. ... 
Synergistic Red Fuse ...
While I tend to be skeptical of many of the audio tweaks, these fuses sound too good, too relatively inexpensive and too easy to implement, not to try! Thanks for everyone's input regarding them. I'll order mine soon and pass along the results.Sli... 
Granny ring, Jetrexpro, all
Grannyring,I am very interested in your power cords. How do I contact you? My ignorance at navigating sites is showing!I switched to WE14ga speaker wire and Belden interconnects and love them, but it looks like I need to try WE10ga IC's and PC's n... 
Just how great is Elvis Costello
Elvis is an amazing talent. From My Aim True to Almost Blue to his collaborations with Alan Toissant, Burt Bacharach and the gang on The Lost Basement Tapes demonstrate his creativity, diversity and talent.......and a stud to boot with Dianna Kral...

Looking for really fine cables at really low price
I found 16' pairs of WE 10ga on eBay......tajacobs. I believe they have pairs up to 30'. Hope that helps. Im no wire expert by any means and don't know what it is about the WE wire that makes it so good, but the tinned copper they used might be pr... 
Looking for really fine cables at really low price
Jazz.....have you found any sonic differences between the different gauge WE wires? I just ordered 96' of WE 10ga and am wondering if it would be better used as speaker wire or internal wiring in amps and speakers. I'm currently running 16 and 14 ... 
Speakers that are very accurate sounding but don't produce an emotional connection.
Great topic sunnyjim, with a lot to of interesting and informative responses. After way too many years of pursuing the audiophile nirvana of uber resolution, detail and precision I'm enjoying a more "real" sound that emphasizes dynamics, tone and ...

Ok Jazz.......it's official, you're audio crazed! 1000'? Wow, I love it and have WE wire envy now!  Guess I should order more :) I noticed soundofthetheater is sold out of 10 and 12 ga, so I better get looking for some elsewhere before it's no whe...

Hey Rob,please keep us posted about your Altec experience. I'm still trying to decide between the A5, A7 or model 19. The 19's were made for home use but I'm leaning towards the VOTT's and would love to hear your experience with the Altec's.Yes, I... 
Looking for really fine cables at really low price
FWIW Jazz I bought 150' of the WE 14ga wire from soundofthetheater and it looks just like the 16ga I got from Jacobs except with more strands. Since my last post my wire has fully burned in and I love it. I prefer its sound over the Kimber and Gro... 
Looking for really fine cables at really low price
Thanks Rob, so far I'm really enjoying the "natural " sound of the WE 16ga speaker cables with the Belden 8402 interconnects. They have a long way to burn in yet, but so far they seem to be a good match for my system. One unexpected improvement up...

What great read this thread has been.......plenty of experimentation, information, science and artistic reviews.......without any juvenile bickering that plagues so many forums. Sooooo refreshing!After reading Jim Smiths newsletter, Jeff Days blog...
