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...

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.

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...

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...

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. 
Miles Davis - Sketches Of Spain- Inside Story 1960
Thanks for sharing the inside story. Very interesting! I can still remember the first time I heard Sketches of Spain on the radio back in the 1960s. I was mesmerized then and still enjoy it today. Like most, I have several vinyl copies with the 6-... 
From Virtual Dynamics to ?
The Virtual Dynamics power cords can still hold their own. I have several in my system including the David, David II and a Power One. I recently borrowed some WyWires Juice II and Juice II-HC power cords since they had received some favorable pres... 
Great Stands from A&M
Photos of sample stands are available on the A&M website:http://www.aandmcustomsteelspeakerstands.com/#!I am glad the A&M stands appear to work well with your Spendors. I use Sound Anchor steel stands with my Spendor SP-100 speakers and I ... 
How old are your speakers
My Spendor SP-100 speakers are 14 years old but they are my "new" speakers. The drivers and horns in my high-efficiency speakers date back to the 1960s and 1970s.

Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil
I went back to what I was using before I bought the Duelunds---Sonicap Gen 1 for the high-pass and Mundorf Supreme (regular Supreme, not silver or S/O or S/G/O) for the low-pass. Nothing is perfect but in the context of my system those caps are mo... 
Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil
I have to take exception to the comment about Solens sounding good in a power supply. Solens always have a plastic, artificial sound no matter where they are used, at least to my ears. For what it's worth, I sold my big Duelund CAST copper caps th...
