The WE PCS are SICK SICK I tell you! I had mine burned in by Pete, Rollo did he burn yours previous? Now Im deciding whether I have the perfect balance, because I have different PCs on my amps, or I should go WE everywhere!
EVERYWHERE!!!! You hear me!!!!

Since Charles' PC's were not terminated at the IEC end, I could not burn his in...Sorry, Charlie...

No problema amigo . It is still changing everyday for the better. Waiting for Alan Maher to return to buy some loose crystals to install in the plugs. Also will be experimenting with ERS paper. Ferrite beads so far have ZERO affect, go figure.

My reference cord has been te Omega Mikro active for quite some time. The WE cord has DETHRONED the Omega which is IMO was quite a feat. At $200 for a 2 meter length with Oyaide copper IEC and plug, OH MY !! by ALL means try these out.

  Balance is everything as you know. But but but the WE cords just may change your mind. The nervosa is perking so jump in and find out.

Mike,
I will make you one but currently way too busy with work & the 4 kids in sports to have one ready by the 24th rave (+ I want to burn it in for you). If you want to listen, Emil has one of my cords with copper terminations.

Ferrite beads so far have ZERO affect, go figure.

Remember, ferrite beads function as a low pass filter that impedes the transmission of high frequency trash over whatever cord they are placed around. If there is something about the materials and cable geometry of this WE cord that either already blocks high frequency signals and/or prevents the picking up of airborne noise (RF) then there would be little or nothing for the beads to block resulting in no audible change when you add them.

OK broken in with 250 hours. Man did this cord change during the process. Still changing but now for the good. i will admit there was a period between 50 and 200 hours that I was ready to take a hammer to the sucker. Hard as hard could be and a bit thin and bright. KILLERs all of them. But my patience prevailed.
  Now ready to rumble. In two words "GAME CHANGING" If you like openness, clarity, tone, and balls to the floor bass try one. Cymbals sound like cymbals how unique. Metallic hit then shimmer and decay and I mean decay to nothingness [ is that a word ?]. Sibilance a thing of the past. yeah still there in some recordings but in a much more natural way. meaning it does not highlight the sibilance, just makes it purdy.  Anyway, using them in my amps. tonight I will reverse the cords, meaning the front end cords will go on the amps and visa versa. Then the original Consonance 6GA cords will go back as well after the reversal for comparison. The WE cord IMO is as neutral as you can get. Ones gear before this cord better have is act together or you will hear their deficiencies big time. It is NOT the cord it is the gear IMO.
   Richadoo I be live this cord is for you as it will reveal all in a VG way. You gets what you put in. Is it a cord for everyone. NO nothing is, but worth a try especially for the price. KA BOOM for the buck Ka Boomski.

I'm using a captive mouser PC in Sol's i60 now, with no desire for more. Van Alstine would be proud!
