Duelund DCA16GA

Anyone compared the DCA16GA vs the DUELUND-72387 1.0 as speaker cables? Also are there any DIY links to make speakers cables out of these wires?

Hi fjn4,

I have a similar speakers setup - Altec 604E +  Werner Jagusch Crossover with  Belden 9497 between crossovers and drivers.
I started to use  DCA16GA as speakers cables and I like results.
I also try to use  DCA20GA interconnects and I feel they sound a little bit thin, dry and lacking of lushness.
What kind of RCA plugs do you use with your Duelund cable interconnects?

Regards,
Alex.

I've just installed WE 10AWG in my system. Out of curiosity. I have "good" speaker cables and didn't plan to replace them. All I have to say is I'm impressed.  And the cables are not burned in.  How long is the burn in period? What should I expect, what improvement did you experience when the burn in had been completed?
Thx

I found that they take at least 100-150 hours. At the beginning I found them a little bright. Enjoy.

Hi Alex- I haven't gotten too serious with the Duelund interconnects yet. I only have a 1.0 meter (NON-shielded) run terminated with SwitchCraft RCA's. I have not put this through it's paces in an important spot yet. I have played with it (break in...) going from a Sony PS-1 to my Croft phono integrated. I can't make a fair judgement because the gain (output) of the Sony player is too low for the passive PRE in the Croft. The 16 gauge speaker cables have been wonderful going from my Werner XO to 846A drivers... Easily preferred them to Belden 9497. I may return to my Duelund 16 gauge IC for my Harbeth system at one point. Not sure if the lack of shielding will be ok, but may try from a Step-Up in to the Croft MM. I'm still in the process of adding that Step-up, at which point that Harbeth system will be complete.
