The bottom line this mix of Cooper with tin metals is better conductor than any Cooper and this have the best of both world. Cable should be twisted 4 times per feet. Pair same size 5 feet. Using Nakamichi 24K Gold Plated Speaker BFA Banana Plug-Jack with 2 screws to the cable top and bottom for better grip. Cables have discolorations since they are old. I will try to match the color the best possible. You can try this cables for 2 weeks, Cables with the letters VW-1 as mentionned in Jeffplace web. I am selling longer without letter on it and is the same cable....some cables might not have any letters and is the same cable... just that when was cut didnt get that part. From...Jeffplace audio web Mr. Shirokazu Yazaki of SPEC Corporation (photo below, second from left) has told me how highly he regards the performance of vintage Western Electric WE16GA. WV-1 wire used as speaker cable. Mr. Shirokazu Yazaki uses the Western Electric WE16GA wire as speaker cables as his personal reference both for the research & development work he does for the SPEC Corporation products (like the Real Sound Amplifier), as well as in his home reference system. Mr. Yazaki-san was so kind as to send me a full set of Belden 8402 microphone cables wired as RCA interconnects, and enough Western Electric WE16GA wire to make a full set of bi-wire speaker cables for my Duelund-ized Westminster Royal SE loudspeakers, so I could experience his full reference set of wiring at once. Mr. Yazaki-san told me about the Western Electric WE16GA wire, that "I have same type of sound impressions about it like as 274B." Mr. Yazaki-san says the Western Electric WE16GA wire has an "artistic and organic sound quality" and I concur, it has an immediately likable tonal balance. Mr. Yazaki-san told me that the Western Electric part number was KS13385L-1, and it was produced by American Insulated Wire Corporation in USA. Mr. Yazaki-san told me that it is, "such size of 16 gauge, the simple structure , the old primitive processing copper wire and the unexceptional tin plated used WE16GA made in USA might be the best or most natural for our hearing as an audio speaker cable ..." This makes me very curious about stranded tin-plated copper wires as being some sort of ultimate audio 'color, texture, and tone' experience that aligns very closely to how we hear things when we listen to live music. I would never have even considered this as a combination had it not been for Mr. Yazaki-san alerting me to their wonders and providing a set for me to try. When I installed the Western Electric WE16GA as speaker cables between my McIntosh MC225 amplifier and the Duelund CAST crossovers for my Westminster Royal SE loudspeakers, I thought their sound was rich, musical, detailed, dynamic, and with a very good sense of timing, tempo, melody, that makes music sound very artistic, engaging, and dramatic. They are also very, very, natural and organic sounding, and lend a certain sense of beauty to the music that I haven't quite yet come to grips with verbalizing. (By the way, like many cables, I did find the Western Electric WE16GA to benefit from about 8-hours of conditioning on my Audiodharma Cable Cooker, making all their strong points really shine.) the Western Electric WE16GA VW-1 is no longer produced. That means you can only buy it as old stock or NOS on the vintage market, and you should be a little careful when doing so because as word has got out about its performance, forgeries have popped up. So my apologies to you for telling you about this magic Western Electric WE16GA wire and then telling you that it is almost unobtainable, but I thought you should know about it, because you might be one of the lucky ones to run across a spool of it one day. Here's what you should do: buy it. The result using other gauge 8, 10, 12 of western electric is not the same you can use those for power your amp not for sound since will create resistence, Belden a company that try reverse engineering but is not the same cable, sound different and different built, since they dont know who the process of tinning was done. Beware one bad cables that have same color cables, this cable is solid red and the other red/black which is also the polarity of the cable, as described by Mr. Yazaki.
