Are these Duelund wires good for interconnects-


Hi- Just  saw these on Parts connexion- anyone using these instead of the std. single runs-
Dual DCA16GA 2x16 awg, Tin-plated, Stranded Copper, Oiled Cotton Speaker/Interconnect

Whilst I have found that Duelund wire with cotton/oil insulation is very good for interconnects I now prefer to use Solid Copper with AirLok insulation from VH Audio for many of my DIY cables. It provides more details and better dynamic perofrmance

In some cases I use the Solid silver with AirLok insulation for more details.

Hope that helps
Forgot to add - for my very best IC's I use a bare Mundorf Solid Silver + 1% Gold and add a cotton sleeve for the insulation.

I'm yet to find a wire that provides the same clarity, dynamics and details as this Mundorf wire. 


I get mine from HiFi Collective in the UK because they sell by the meter, so it works out to be cheaper, even with the postage

Those cables would do okay for interconnects but there are much better design options for interconnects at a lower cost. The conductors and dielectric used are meh, and I don't see an attempt to shield the cable in any kind of way. The jacket choice doesn't seem to protect the conductors from moisture either.

@jaytor if you're looking for a forward presentation with more sparkle on top, look for a solid core silver wire with Teflon dielectric. This will give you what you need.
To thin for that ebm

OP, I believe there is a member of this forum who sells interconnects under the name "Acoustic BBQ" using Duelund wire. Surprised he hasn't chimed in but you can search it if you wish.
