I just checked and the eBay seller tajacobs still has the WE stranded tinned copper in both red and black wire. So, good luck. Best, Rob

Well, still about double the cost of the Tekton Lore Reference. I sincerely doubt you'll get double the value sound-wise, likely less, but at any rate, good luck in your endeavor. Best, Rob

Yikes!!! $3,600 for the Zu Omen Def MKII. Here I thought we were discussing speakers for less than what you could get for the DeCapo and have some $$$ left over for some decent cables. OK, I promise to stop trying so hard to get you great value sp...

Rebbi,Believe me when I say you are not aggravating me in the least. I'm actually chuckling a little bit thinking, poor Rebbi, he has a case of audio nervosa. Again, as Charles stated, ultimately you trust your own ears in your environment. I, lik...

John,Just go on eBay, sign-up if you don't already have account. Use PayPal to pay, very easy. You'll get your WE in about 4 days. But do it fast as I don't really know how much of this wire tajacobs has. After him it's Japan or Taiwan, even more ...

Rebbi,You read the Audiogon thread Zu Omen vs Lore, it came out overwhelmingly for Lore. But as always trust your own ears in your environment . Wishing you the best. Rob

Atmasphere,Rebbi's room is about 11x12, my office system, 14x16. Believe me, even true 92db, 8ohm, no problem. My 8 watt Coincident Dynamo is sublime with my 95db or 98db Lores depending on model. How loud do you listen? I generally like about 80d...

Get the right speaker cables and interconnects and there will nothing vague about imaging. In my system when I borrowed my brother DeCapo, the imaging wasn't any less in the Tekton in absolute terms, yet it slayed the DeCapo in almost every other ...

If anyone here wants the WE 16ga, tajacobs, seller on eBay is legitimate. Most of the Day/Yazaki-san readers are buying from him. I have no connection to tajacobs, just a happy buyer. Day's blog provide a link to seller of Belden 8402. They can te...

Metman,In my system the WE 16g is a wonderful match with the Belden 8402 interconnect. Natural and organic. Relaxed with terrific tonal color, texture, dynamic, transparent, really nice stage. I think YMMV.John, some folks are using them with succ... 
Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes
Matthias,Do you know how the Elrog 300B will operate with the AN Kit-1? Best, Rob.

If you are speaking about the WE 16ga, just go bare wire, just give them a few twists. If you are speaking about the Belden, the seller will terminate for you. If the Supra, l'd take advice from Nonoise.
