It's time to reap my hookup wire. I can't seem to find anything decent for a decent price. 22 or 24 awg. Where are you getting yours?

Well, Smallbear is sold out of wire forever.

While I haven't tried it from Lovemyswitches, this is probably similar if not same to what Smallbear used to have?

Maybe.  Quality depends on what temperature the insulation melts at too.  I don't have any experience with Lawrence's wire either.

A few months ago I bought wire from small bear but they didn't have black so I got that from Barry at guitarpcb.com and I liked it about the same as the small bear stuff

I'm a fan of PTFE/Teflon insulated and bought hundreds of feet of stranded from here years ago, haven't run out. They have solid core as well.

Haven't tried these but they look interesting;

He's way out of wire. He seems not not carry it a lot. I really like it too.

This looks good, I wonder if he will sell 50 instead of 100 if I get 4 colors.

I've had no problems with the tayda stuff.  Otherwise my favourite is the 24awg from diyguitarpedals.com.au

I'll second Chromesphere's wire (DIYGP in the forum header.)

He's a right good bugger, despite being born with the horribly bad choice of being born in Australia and not New Zealand.

20.00 for shipping to the US is more than I'd like to spend for 20.00 of wire.
