    Description

    Don't let the simplicity of these cables fool you. Hard to digest but this vintage stranded tinned wire has outperformed many sought after cables including the Duelund I have.
    Carefully handmade and terminated with premium Switchcraft Goldpin (made here in Chicago)and Kester 44 solder

    Online review: Jeff Day (Positive Feedback/6 Moons) in a recent blog of his in Wordpress did a wonderful article on NOS Western Electric 16ga speaker wire which is stranded tinned copper. It was brought to his attention by the Japanese builder (Yazaki-San), of the new Spec Amp (read Positive Feedback review) as well as a number of fabulous 300B amps in the Japanese markets. Yazaki-San described this speaker with as having the attributes of the Western Electric 274B tube from the 40s, not the later models of 274B. Yazaki-San basically stated it was an "artistic" sounding wire with a transparent presentation that presents a natural, organic sound, full of saturated color and texture, faithful correct timbre, warm, and dynamic, big soundstage in depth and width. Right-sized scale, better bass with more holographics.
