| Looking for really fine cables at really low price I used Switchcraft 3502AAU RCA plugs on the V-Twist so I can do an apples-to-apples comparison to a pair of Belden interconnects which has the same Switchcraft plugs. I also have another pair of Belden interconnects with WBT 0102 Ag plugs. | |
| Looking for really fine cables at really low price I haven't tried WE as interconnects yet but tonight I wired up a pair of 1M cables using VH Audio V-Twist which is a twin-lead somewhat similar to the Belden 8402 but using modern materials. It also doesn't have a shield. It should make an interes... | |
| Looking for really fine cables at really low price I wonder what "twisting the cable right-handed" means (per Siedy comment above). Wouldn't this change depending on which way you were looking at the cable? | |
| Looking for really fine cables at really low price Mikirob, if YOU had read this thread more carefully, you would know that I am not the one who compared cables to Tara Labs or Siltech. I was quoting the reviewer in Positive Feedback. I have never heard either brand at least not in my system. Than... | |
| Looking for really fine cables at really low price Mikirob, it would help if you listed the equipment in your system. This would give some context to your comments. Perhaps you did this earlier in the thread; it's hard to keep track of all the details in a long thread. That's why many of us have p... | |
| Looking for really fine cables at really low price My "new" WE 16g wires (the ones from the 1980s or so) started out as bright and thin, but after a few hours, maybe 5 or 6, became very warm in the lower mids and bass and rather dark and closed in on top. I haven't used them since.The older WE 16g... | |
| Looking for really fine cables at really low price No conclusions on WE yet. Even though my initial reactions were not all that favorable, I bought some more WE 16g "just in case" and those are the wires I am breaking in right now on my video setup. These are older WE cables supposedly from the 19... | |
| Looking for really fine cables at really low price Jet, have you considered trying finer gauge WE cable for interconnects instead of the 16g? | |
| Looking for really fine cables at really low price Following the lead of Jetrexpro, I too am not ready to make any final judgments on the WE or Belden wires. And I agree that a final judgment on these cables must take into account not only one's position in the "neutral/accurate" vs. "rich/musical... | |
| Looking for really fine cables at really low price I have heard Supra speaker cables in a dealer's demo system which used Western Electric horns and drivers. The system sounded great. I can't say how much the Supras were contributing to what I heard but they were certainly part of it. | |
| Looking for really fine cables at really low price Jet, I can relate to your experience with the Kondo interconnect. In my case, my normal cable for phono-to-linestage is an Ocellia Silver Reference. I have compared it many times to several cables that use Belsen 8402 that are wired up with all so... | |
| Looking for really fine cables at really low price Another reviewer's take on the WE 16g speaker wire and Belden interconnects can be found here:http://positive-feedback.com/high-fidelity/spec-real-sound-processor-rsp-901ex-loudspeaker-filter-2/Here are his conclusions:I compared them to my refere... | |
| Looking for really fine cables at really low price Here's a more complete description of the DejaVu room at CAF.http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?ymisc&1439067662&openflup&11&4#11 | |
| Looking for really fine cables at really low price I wish the folks posting about the organic, natural, live sound qualities described by Mr. Yazaki-san could have attended the Capital Audio Fest in Rockville, Md. last weekend. A local dealer DejaVu Audio had a room with speakers using vintage Wes... | |
| Who is going to the Capital Audiofest? Larry, I believe the tweeter in the Western Electric setup was a Jensen RP-302. |
