| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil That's it Grannyring! They sound real. That is what Yazaki-san has pursued most of his adult life, building "Real Sound" musical equipment. If you read his "listening bias" he nails it. I wish I had your skill, still waiting on my DIY brother to c... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Volley guy, I believe that Yazaki-san (the person responsible for bringing the WE16ga to our attention via Jeff Day blog, jeffsplace.me) mentioned that if your speaker cable is longer than three (3) meters, you might consider the WE14ga, if I reme... | |
| How old are your speakers I still use the very underrated Infinity Prelude Compositions in one of my systems. Too bad Harmon Kardon screwed the pouch on this one. Robert Harley reviewed these in Stereophile circa 2001-02; he paired them up with the Cary 300SEI, which I als... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil I think Grannyring meant to say WE 16ga, not 14ga. The color does not matter, just be sure it is 16ga stranded tinned copper. I am going to experiment and try the WE14ga stranded tinned copper in a couple of applications. Every descriptor Grannyri... | |

| Looking for really fine cables at really low price Mitch2, Seriously, take Grannyring's advice. Shirokazu Yazaki-san, the superb Japanese designer and builder who alerted us all to this WE and Belden spent years experimenting with different combinations of of wires, connectors, solder and so forth... | |
| Looking for really fine cables at really low price Jet,Really happy they finally got burned in. For some reason my wire took less time. | |
| Looking for really fine cables at really low price Jetrexpro,As Grannyring has stated, be patient, about 100 hrs, everything keeps improving. Best, Rob | |
| Looking for really fine cables at really low price Jet,The lower strings are anything but muddy in my system on classical or any other style of music. I was just commenting to my wife how clear these regions were on the Bach, Stokowski, London Phase4Stereo, Toccata & Fugue in D minor which has... | |

| Under $2000 speaker for McIntosh MA6500 You can't go wrong with Tekton Lore. $1,000. Efficient, great sounding, 30hz bass. Full bodied, transparent, detailed with no etch or glare, nicely balanced top to bottom, read the reviews, they are accurate and match my listening. Best, Rob | |
| Cary 805 vs v12 I bought my v12 from John Rutan at Audio Connection. Spoke with Dennis Had many times about these various units many times. The best advice you gave was to talk to John Rutan, one of the good guys in Audio. Same for Kevin Deal with whom I've a lot... | |
| Cary 805 vs v12 I have not owned the Cary 805 but I have listened to it a number of times for many hours in different venues both business and private homes. I do own the superb Cary V12 which does have the warm, full sound you like. Before purchasing the V12 I h... |
