Looking for really fine cables at really low price

Grannyring, All,
Yes Wire and equipment has break-in; but I think this concept/reality is stretching out to the hyperbolic. Not many other folks found the Break-in as bad as Salectric, getting dark and closed in where he had to remove the cable. At least now I have a benchmark, like with reviewers, if person A likes a particular thing I will likely not like it. If person B likes a particular thing I will likely like it too. This is good. "Makes the world go round." "Different strokes for different folks." Me, I come down on the side of Day, Yazaki-san, We16ga, unequivocally. That is obvious, or else I would never have brought this wire to the attention of Agon in this and other threads. Again, love the hackneyed expression YMMV. Best, Rob

I didn't notice break-in very much with the Western electric speaker cables but it was a much different case with the Western electric interconnects. Same wire different application don't understand it, doesn't really matter, but that's how it was.

Maybe I'm taking this the wrong way so please set me aright if I am but I believe Salectric's and Volleyguy1's ears to be as good as anyone else's here. Name dropping a bunch of folk who like what they hear and prefer it to what's currently favored doesn't amount to a hill of beans. It's simply a preference on what they hear and favor.

Is this how cults start?

There's an old saw that goes something like:
"I'll defend anyone searching for the truth but will fight anyone who claims to have found it."

I think that applies here.

There is no 'absolute sound'. Even from different makes, what this tinned wire does is pretty amazing. My Supras offer the best compromise yet in my system. (Notice I'm not afraid to use the word 'compromise' since that's exactly what it is).

This is the second time folk have been denigrated for their views. The first time it was 'misunderstood humor'. It could be I'm being too thinned skinned since this is an online forum but that's my take.

All the best,
Nonoise

Jetrexpro, All,
Check. "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum" in this thread. The thread title is: "Looking for Really Fine Cables at Really Low Price." So, maybe a reality check is in order since somehow, the WE16ga is being compared and contrasted against $15,000 Tara Labs, 20,000 Euro Siltec, with the inexpensive $1.49 running twin foot WE16ga holding its own, comparing favorably, maybe overall as good or better as these other speaker wires?

Once again there are no "absolute" best anything, but Jeff Day via Yazaki-san presented the WE16ga in his Blog/Positive Feedback review Yazaki-san SPEC Real Sound Amp as well as Yazaki-san's own reference speaker wire and interconnect, WE16ga/Belden 8402. This information presented an unprecedented opportunity for "Timbral Listeners" to obtain a worldclass speaker/interconnect that could potentially fulfill their listening bias at real world prices. Albeit a small window of opportunity due to the extreme limited quantities of the WE. I believe some folks forget the thread purpose, get lost within the nit picks of audiophile reviewer parlance. Simply put, this is a wonderful wire by any calculator. To me, to my ears, it has everything I want/need. If it is not your cup of tea/Java, stick with what you like better.

Nonoise,
You are way, way, off base. I stated, "I am guessing your ears aren't better than the rest of us." Meaning, your ears must be similar. Funny, you complemented me for referencing the Day/Yazaki-san tinned copper threads, when it met with your belief about tinned copper/Supra. No cult here buddy, just giving credit where credit is due, which so many here do not do. In my education I learned how to footnote and cite where information was coming from. Cult, give me a break!

The real ludicrous part in the thread is this was supposed to be about good really low cost cables. Not mega-cost, what most Audiophiles don't have and can't afford. Geez, and to compare them against the WE and admit they are close save for a little extension and inner detail. Sort of demonstrates how good the WE is and how far off topic some folks drift.
