If I wanted to make my own speaker cables, is this a good choice for wire?

Sounds like the choice of the 16 is perfect...alot of guys here with experience with duelund.Should have lots to read about this weekend.

Cool, I'm trying to find some examples where others built cables out of this wire... for some ideas.

@tubeguy76 

Why did you choose this wire?

@tubeguy76 - 2 x 16 gauge would make a good signal conductor for a speaker cable. But for the neutral I would recommend a 12 gauge wire.

Take a look at this thread - it’s very educational with lots of great DIY ideas for cables/conncetors that outperofrm most of the top brands available today

DIY Helix Cables

I use these cables at present and I am extremely happy with them

• superb clarity and details
• very fast dynamics
• excellent imaging

If you are going to the trouble of building your own cables then go for the Helix - the extra effort is well worth it.

BTW duelund it very good, but there is better wire available - just depends on your listening preferences

• Duelund is mellow wire
• UP-OCC wire is more dynamic and more detailed
• UP-OCC Silver is extremely detailed and provides superb clarity and imaging

It really depends on your listening preferences
