Duelund DCA16GA

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.

"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?  
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.

Hi fjn04,

I used Switchcraft, MSaudio, Vampire C7X, Xhadow RCA-SM, Duelund Gold RCA connectors.
I don't like Vampire C7X - it imphases high frequencies and have overall bright tonal balance.
MSaudio has great high frequencies and high-mids, but has a gap between mid-frequencies and base.
Duelund Gold and Switchcraft sound well balanced. My first impression was, Switchcraft sounds more grainy and Duelund more smooth.
I just ordered Switchcrafts to double check it versus Duelund again.

Xhadow sound is very "audiophile". It is smooth, transparent with big sound-stage, open and airy high-frequencies and big base. But mid-range is not as good as Duelund has.

I prefer Duelund 16ga to 20ga cable for interconnects. It sounds more balanced and dynamic. But it has lack of air and high-frequency details.

I'm planing to use Duelund cables from Werner Jagusch crossover to Altec 604E like you suggest in the future. (I'm using Belden 9497 cables).

I changed HF filter capacitor in Werner Jagusch crossover to Duelund RS + Duelund Cu-Sn Bypass capacitors. It was the best upgrade I did in my system for years.

Regards,
Alex.

Well im converted! Just got the Deuland 16ga and can see what all the fuss is about. 

Amazing stuff. So analog and non electronic sounding!
