2017 Honest Cabling that doesn’t promote bankruptcy

Wolf, that has to be one of the funniest posts I have ever read! LOL over and over. 

The best wire I have heard, and I have owned many, is the Duelund bulk stranded copper in oil impregnated cotton. Wonderful sounding with many of us Aphiles selling off cables costing up to $2500 for this stuff. Jeff Day and Jim Smith both love and use it talking about it on the their sites/blogs.

Offered in 16,12, and 20 gauge. Price is $9-$16 meter. Do not terminate as speaker wire as it sounds best stripped and hooked directly. All terminations degrade sound.

I have owned Clear Day, MG, several Cardas, TRL, Amadi, Tara Labs Air, and others and the Duelund wire is very special.

It is tinned so no need to worry about oxidation etc....The 16 gauge is the choice for many for both speaker wire and ICs. With Switchcraft rca’s you can make a 1 meter set of ICs for just $65. The 12ga is a tad more full bodied than the 16ga when used as speaker cable. The 16ga is a tad more lively.

Dont let the price fool you, You could spend thousands on this wire and still smile when you hear it.

Cotton is the only outer covering and all that is needed. It is sturdy, thick, and safe. No worries. You can purchase this wire from Parts Connextion. They sell the 16ga and 12 ga.

I like the Duelund and love the Western Electric NOS wire which the Duelund wire was fashioned after. 10 gauge and can be purchased below. Please note it is sold as a twisted set! Great value. Don’t terminate .... use the bare wire. Same with the Duelund wire. I started off with the Duelund 16ga and finally ended up on the Western Electric 10ga. Personal preference only and system synergy.

It is warmer sounding and more full bodied while the Duelund wire is lively and a tad more open. Two great options.

Both these options  are not shielded as you say. This is one reason for their openness. What these cables have in spades is uncanny realism. Less electronic or reproduced sounding and more live. Your music sounds real. It sort of transcends talking about this or that audiophile adjective.

Good point on the Duelund wire. I assumed the question was for speaker and IC cable only. Yes I used the WE10 to make many nice sounding power cords over the past two years.
