In Reply to: RE: If You Can't find Western Electric speaker cable posted by lokie on July 26, 2016 at 16:03:04
After many years of buying audio equipment and talking about it on internet sites I no longer pay any attention to people who are skeptical of a product who have not heard the product. As far as Jeff day I do not take anything he says as absolute truth but might examine a product he brings up that I have never come across. His column triggered my sampling and now use of Beldin 8402 interconnects and Western Electric 16 ga speaker cable. These $275 worth of cables in my $40000 system are simply the best sounding cables (including very expensive cables) I have ever heard. I will try the Deulands because they are cheap enoough to try. I will eventually sell my Auditorium 23 and High diamond 8 cable and come out well ahead of what I have spent on these cheap cables. By the way I really like the Supra usb cable

@ahendler and users of we16ga. The western electric we16ga piqued my interest for quite some time but was unable to source for some. Now that duelund has come up with something very similar...I will definitely try it. Before I pull the trigger...I would be most grateful if you could give some insight on how they sound (I do realise it's sys dependent). Area that is most important to me is ... Density in the vocal band (seeking full and large image size esp piano) and HF smoothness and etch ( seeking non etched for sure). Slightly recessed TOP end would be important too. Thanks.

Mine came today and right out of the box it is impressive, I will let it play for most of the weekend and get back with you. I was using $15,000 speaker cables so it will be interesting to see how good it really is, but I am impressed.

@Jnr... how do you like the Duelunds so far? In particular...how did it fair in the midrange esp density in the vocal band and upper treble (etch and sibilance). I am hoping that the new Duelunds could be the cable for me...have had one too many miscues lately :(
Thanks
Well, I only have about 20 hours on it so far, and I want to get 100 before I publish anything definitive, but at the moment I'm loving it.It sounded a little rough on voices for about 5 hours, it is anything but etched. The sound is very live sounding. It's a little hard to put into words, but my system sounds more like real performers are in the room than before. It helps that I have heard live jazz the last two Saturday nights. I really like how it sounds on rock.

Looking forward to your impressions of the WE16ga. Thanks
I am still waiting for my Dueland cable
