Duelund Tinned Copper Speaker Cables

@magnumn - My speaker cables use 2 x 14 gauge solid OCC copper for the Signal wires and 1 x 10 gauge silver plated stranded Milspec for the neural wire

When I tried the 2 x 14 gauge solid OCC wire for the neutral, the warmth and musicality that had been there with the 1 x 10 gague Mil-spec had gone, so I went back to the milspec

Maybe its the insulation? - OCC with a different insulaton would sound very different from my own cables. The cables as they are have a very low noise floor and are very dynamic and detailed.sound with the warmth often associated to Tube gear

BTW I’m using a Bryston B125 Integrated amp with Gershman Sonogram Speakers, which for me, is a very nice combination

My IC’s use OCC Silver for the signal wires and OCC solid copper for the Neutral. But there are some menbers that have tried building my IC’s and preferred using the Duelund tinned copper wire with cotten insulation because they preferred its musicality.

I used 16g twin unterminated for a while and didn't think anything of them until I tried some Kimber 8PR and the word 'dark' came to mind when comparing the two.

Maybe dark is wrong; they just weren't bright enough for me.

Has anyone had the opportunity to do a comparison of the Duelund  cables and the Jupiter product?

Are there sonic differences?

@williewonka Bryston is overall bright gear, it’s not the cables it’s the Integrated.

@mdrone - I have compared the Jupiter tinned copper wire against the same from Duelund as ICs and couldn’t really hear a difference. I have not compared them as speaker cables.

Last week, I re-installed my 7awg tinned copper Western Electric peaked cables and they sounded quite good, smooth and full sounding. I then changed to a pair of speaker cables I made a few years ago from Jupiter’s un-tinned, solid core copper in cotton wire, where I twisted 8 wires per run, both HF and LF, for 16 wires/side using slightly larger (I believe 16 awg) wires for the LF run (i.e., 10 awg aggregate per pole) and smaller (I believe 20 awg) wires for the HF (i.e., 14 awg per pole). I really like the sound of the solid core copper as speaker cables. They sound very real/natural and I have not changed those out yet.
