RE: Western Electric Cloth/silk insulated wires

"Quality metallurgy today is in some cases light years ahead of what was 50 years ago. "
I totally agree.

"That it comes from China could mean it is fake or real or both. "
All ebayers are in the US and that had me scratching my head. Many years ago, I learned that there were a lot of WE wires which came from dismantling of telephone exchanges. Have they been "returned" to the US for audiophile consumption?

These wires may be good as hook up wires at a fraction of the cost of quality hook up wires today. That's why I am inquiring hoping others have experience with them will come forward.
