| Do you Bi-Wire, if you can? It sure would be easier if there were "standards" in the audio world, like providing only a single pair of binding posts on speakers. Like most things in this hobby, it can be difficult separating product features designed for better sound from th... | |
| Do you Bi-Wire, if you can? My suggestion to try connecting bi-wired speakers with jumpers at the speaker terminals was intended as a way for folks with bi-wire cables and dual speaker terminals to easily hear the effect of single-wiring their speakers. Some might say runnin... | |
| Do you Bi-Wire, if you can? Any of you who are bi-wiring ever try also connecting jumpers (while bi-wired to both terminals), just to experience the effect? If so, what did you think, better, worse, different-how? | |
| Looking for really fine cables at really low price I gotta agree with Steakster, I like the WE speaker cables but I am not thrilled with the Belden 8402 ICs so will be trying to sell mine. I found the Belden ICs to be a bit raggedy in the upper frequencies and dark/dull overall.The WE speaker cabl... | |
| B&W Matrix 3 Series 2? Harsh tweeters, nice midrange, mediocre bass and harsh tweeters.Generally agree but would not have been so harsh. The bass is ok but doesn't go real low. You get the illusion of bass but nothing deep. You gotta be careful what you feed the tweeter... | |
| Looking for really fine cables at really low price Thanks Jetrexpro, it was tough to report that since so many here like the Belden 8402 wire. I will burn them in a bit more on the cooker and try them again once more to make sure of what I am hearing. In the meantime, I still like the WE speaker c... | |
| Looking for really fine cables at really low price After listening to the Belden 8402 for over a week, and then putting my former cables back in the system, the comparison unfortunately was not even close. My other cables have similar warmth and tonal density but much better extension, definition ... | |
| Looking for really fine cables at really low price Volleyguy1,I have liked this stuff from the start and I have made cables from the 16, 14 and 10 awg WE wire. I have sort of stocked up and still have some of each gauge here for future projects. In my system, all the sizes retain the same sonic ch... | |
| Looking for really fine cables at really low price Latest WE wire project consists of simple twisted 1M pairs of WE 10awg wire in a bi-wire configuration (i.e., two pairs per side). The wires are directly connected to the amplifier board of the NC1200 Acoustic Imagery Atsahs, so there are no bindi... | |

| Looking for really fine cables at really low price Just installed two pair of Belden 8402 ICs with Vampire XLR connectors. I first cooked them for a day and a half on a Cable Cooker. No harshness whatsoever, just pure, natural-sounding music. In absolute terms, the sound of these ICs along with th... | |
| Looking for really fine cables at really low price The TNT review of the Supra Ply 3.4 speaker cables, includes a discussion on the benefits of tinned wire;The Ply 3.4 makes use of 192 pure tin plated OFC copper strands in a low inductance design. The advantages of low inductance and tin plating c... | |
| Looking for really fine cables at really low price Salectric, thanks for sharing. The PF article is an interesting read and Mr. Pacula's take on the WE wire pretty much nails it with regard to what I hear in my system, as I have attempted to describe previously in this thread;a little warmer with ... | |
| Looking for really fine cables at really low price Brownsfan, your WE14 will sound just fine.I have WE14 and WE16 over here together in a bi-wire pair and they sound great. The runs are doubled up and twisted to lower inductance.The WE wire is the same regardless of the gauge. It is all 30awg stra... | |
