warmest speaker cables you've heard?

@docroasty we need closure on this anecdote! You ordered the Duelund cable and....???

@letch sorry for the late reply!

I received the Duelund cables and sold them off a couple of weeks later. they were decently put together by the company I ordered them from but there was a rather strong smell from the cables, similar to machine oil.. it saturated my listening room and I decided they had to go. sound wise they were OK, nothing immediately stood out. felt they lacked a bit of low end punchiness. 

right now I'm using Tellurium Q Black Diamond and Atlas Audio Mavros Grun speaker cables. they're both very good, dynamic, not bright sounding. I pretty much blew my budget on these cables but upside is I won't be changing them out anytime soon. 

Thanks. Unfortunately, I had already gone ahead and ordered 4 meters from PartsConnexion before I saw your post. We’ll see how it goes. Thankfully, they aren’t that expensive if I experience similar smells. Your current cables are way beyond my budget. Thanks for the follow-up.

@docroasty Wow! You weren't kidding about the smell. I have them sitting outdoors to see if that goes away. I've stripped them down and getting a multimeter this weekend to figure out pos/neg and attach to plugs. At this point, I do want to see how they sound, but not sure they'll stay in the house. I told PartsConnexion they should warn us about that.

I put the cables outside for a week and the smell went away. After swapping out my Synergistic Research cables, I swapped in the Duelunds and the let them play and I found them exactly what I was looking for. Warm and deep without any high-end etch. I tried some other cables, Mogami and Kimber, but nothing sounds as good as the Duelunds to me. I'm running the 16GA cables and contemplating ordering the 12GA. But it sounds so good, I figure why mess with it? I felt like it did take some time for the bass to fill out. I've been sampling speakers for my system so I've heard them in various configurations and it's all been good. I would venture adjectives of warm and natural capturing the rhythm of the music. If you're one of the people that wants "revealing" and "extended highs" you might want to look elsewhere. Though they do that well enough that I have to put in my EQ on those troubling recordings that are too treble forward. So, it's not like they're rolling anything off.
