Hook-up Wire: Duelund DCA16GA vs Neotech STDCT-16 vs Cardas 15.5 AWG
Hi guys.
I want to replace the wire in my speakers. Who had the experience of comparing these wires?
Duelund DCA16GA tinned copper
STDCT-16: Neotech Multistrand Copper
Cardas 15.5 AWG copper multistrand
Tell me which copper wire will be better for sound? Maybe you have thoughts on other hook-up wiring.
Sorry for my bad English.

The Duelund is colored with the oiled cotton and micro arching between strands ,the Cardas sounded noticeably cleaner especially low level detail , even vs Neotech ,but getting the enamel off the strands a pain in the ass at first , you need a hot iron ,or stainless brush first on dremmel then clean, flux then good Cardas solder to tin nicely and this wire in the 15.5 gauge took 2-250 hours to fully settle in ,remember a speaker is only pulling 30-40 volts tops if that , I felt that was a good average size gauge l |
