Duelund DCA16GA

kclone,

I've been on a quest for the past year in finding the best sounding bulk cable and someone from another forum found them gem and it is spectacular. I found the Nanotec # 308 to sound better in my system than all Furutech varieties and many other brands by a good margin.

So, what is this PC you speak of; Oyaide Black Mamba V2 which utilizes the latest and greatest SSC 102 Copper with a conductivity of 102, unbelievable clarity, channel separation, imaging, width/depth and sound-staging...

Tweek Geek does make a Deulund PC and it's quite good but this BM is something special and quite cheap, just add your favorite plugs...

Thanks Wig.  I'm not really a DIY, and I don't know what my favorite plugs would be.   Is it hard to put plugs on a bulk cable?  I suppose it's on you tube it.  

Has anyone tried the WE 16/14/12/10 GA or the Duelund wire for power cables?  How does it sound?

I have made several of these and they sound great.  On my big monoblock amplifiers I use a cross-connected quad run of the WE 10ga to the pos and neg poles (2, 10ga wires to each pole) and another two of the same wires to ground.  On my preamp I use a simpler twisted pair of the 10ga (one wire each to pos and neg) with the same to ground.  I have been using Furutech FI-11 (Cu) connectors with this wire.  They compare very favorably with other manufactured power cords I own. In my system, the sound is full and tonally dense, similar to their wire used as speaker cables. 
Regarding the design, I shield all of my cords, with the shield spaced away from the pos-neg wires and with the ground wire(s) counter-spiraled outside of the shield.  One could argue the quad run is overkill, even for large Class A monoblocks.
Regarding who makes them, I believe this is the same wire used in the original "American Series" by TWL, for both power cables and speaker cables.  I believe this wire was also used in power cords previously made by Mojo Audio.
Regarding the Duelund wire, I would not use their cotton-clad-only wire for power applications.  The WE wire has a plastic dielectric (and then an outside cotton covering) and others have found that suitable for power cords, but you should do your own research on the suitability of any wire you use in power applications.

hmm, I have an older Mojo hanging around.  can't remember what model, I bought it new about 5 years ago.  I think it is in the trunk of my car, I will check it out in my system.  I currently have the TWL Obsession PCs.  Not unhappy at all, just curious about trying new things.  

Wig, are you recommending the Nanotech # 308 or the Black Mamba V2.  Or both?

kclone,

The Mamba V2 beats my Nanotec across the board and is cheaper. Here's where you can buy a completed PC:
