Western Electric KS.13385L-1 16GA Speaker Cables Exc Synergy W/Tube Amplifiers

Don’t let the simplicity of these cables fool you. Hard to digest but this rare vintage 26 strand tinned wire has outperformed many sought after cables including the Duelund I have. Much more natural sounding.

8ft pair carefully handmade and terminated with low mass Beryllium BFA Z Plugs from Swiss (Closest approach to no plugs at all).

Exact Vintage Western Electric KS.13385L-1 26 Strand wire reviewed by 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.
