Are these Duelund wires good for interconnects-

@dbass - I use the 1mm Mundorf (approx. 18 gauge I think)

I am not considering it for the speaker cables because it is just too expensive for my 9 ft speaker cables

Also, the 2 strands x 18 gauge Solid Copper with AirLok insulation from VH Audio works extremely well on my speaker cables. 

I think trying the solid silver would be in the realm of diminishing returns

But if you have the budget give the 2 strands x 18 guage solid silver wire a try.  :-)

@williewonka  - Thanks.  I am going to build a set of Helix interconnects first and then I will decide what to do for the speaker cables.  I will probably do the VH Audio Copper wire as you recommend - but my room is smaller and I can get away with 5 ft speaker cables so maybe I try the silver - we'll see.

Thanks for sharing your design I appreciate it.

@dbass - you are very welcome.

If you have any further questions - just ask

Regards - Steve

Maybe for hook up wire or speaker cables but for DIY ICs, IMO you would do much better with a premanufactured IC-specific cable from a company like Furutech or equivalent.  Some like this silver IC

@mitch2 - I thought I would provide some context pertaining to
wire and cable geometry that can be found today.

The wire in your link is made using a "conventional" cable geometry - i.e. a twisted pair.

That geometry has many issues and more advanced cable companies are now discovering and building cables with more unusual geometries which combat the issues inherent in the more conventional geometries.

There are also issues related to the insulation used on many bulk cables, which effect clarity and imaging. For best performance the insulation should have a Dielectric Constant (D.C.) value lower than 1.5.

The method used in the Helix cable geometry uses a cotton sleeve for insulation on the signal wire, which has a D.C. of around 1.3, but since the insulation is not molded around the actual wire there is a significant air gap (i.e. compared to wires with a molded insulation), so the net value of D.C. is lower than 1.3.

Granted, the wire you have suggested will "do the job", but it will not perform the same level as a cable that uses a more advanced cable geometry.

Advanced geometries are more common in those very expensive cables from companies like Nordost and Inakustic.

Also, using a solid core wire offers superior performance than a stranded wire, provided that it has an insulation with a low D.C.

@dbass will be building cables using a more advanced Helix geometry and that level of commitment benefits greatly from using the very best wires and insulations with the lowest value for D.C.

Hope that offers some explanation as to the differences between some of the wire types, geometries and cable building approaches..
