Duelund DCA16GA

Alex, 

I did and was picking up a bit of hum. So I unsoldered them and wrapped them in the copper and the hum is gone, but not any of the dynamics, which I feared would happen. Just the interconnects, not the speaker cables, mind you.

It was a fun project and much easier thanI thought, especially after I made some mistakes on the first pair.

I gave them a shot but for MY setup it was a No-Go.
I let them 'burn in' for about 12 Hrs.
The very first thing I noticed was the bass didn`t have the oomph/weight that I`m used to.
They weren`t as revealing as my old cables either and didn`t have the overall fullness of the MIT`s.
I also noticed that I had to give it more volume to reach my usual listening level, because I have a numeric display I could readily see the difference.

Not going to bother going to the 12 GA either because I sincerely doubt they`ll even get close to the MH750 Music Hose based on the characteristics/house sound of the Duelund`s
I`ve had a few cables in my system (nothing expensive mind you) but the MIT`s are something special and they are back in and sounding great !

I DID make a set of jumpers from a left over piece so all`s not lost :)
Was fun and interesting no matter the outcome.

I’ve been following... just wondering if only a 12 hour break-in is sufficient?

System components could be a difference?

@slaw...Maybe maybe not as to break in, but I don`t see a 200% improvement down the road with them either.

@grannyring ... Thanks for the input. Yes...I had the Duelund 16GA configured the way you mentioned (to mid/woofer then to tweeter).
Got me a meter of the 12GA and made jumpers (bare-wired). Single run of the 16GA from the amp to tweeters. 12GA jumped from tweeter to mid/woofer. 
After 2 sessions (4 hours total)...the 12GA as jumpers yielded punchier bass. Soundstage and instrument images within more layered and less homogeneous. Acoustic guitars more snappy. Image size a little larger. Better image focus and overall a little fuller sound. I do detect more HF energy though...not sure if that's a plus or minus yet. Will know when I put on some female vocals on. 
Btw...I just discovered i have jumpers (bare-wire) of 16GA that I had experimented with prior the getting a full run of them.  Hmmm...;)...what if I shotgunned 12GA + 16GA jumpers. Overkill? What would be the resulting gauge if I did that?
Thanks for all your help. Really appreciate it. :)
