I used their predecessors, the vintage Western Electric 16 ga wire in my bedroom system and they were much more musical than my former Mogami cables, which were very good for little money. I had a pair of the Dueland IC's made and they are excellent for the small cost. Jeff Day has a website that talks a lot about these cables.
Dueland Cables
Has anyone tried the
Dueland DCA16GA interconnect?
I purchased a pair a few months ago on Ebay. Price was ridiculously low.
After a brief listen I put them in a closet with a bunch of other cables.
They sounded bright & edgy.
"Well, you get what you pay for" I thought to myself.
At the time I was using a RME ADI 2 DAC converter.
A couple of days ago, having nothing to do, I pulled them out and inserted them again, this time using my AM Tubadour III DAC.
I was gob+smacked!
No, literally, blown away by the wonderful sound.
And, this was with only a couple of hours of play time on them.
I A/B'd them with my Cardas Golden Presence interconnects several times and the Duelands by far won out every time.
I understand the Dueland DCA16GA interconnect cables can be system dependent.
I guess I am lucky to have a system: (simple LTA MicroZOTL and and AM Tub. III DAC, ZMF & assorted phones) that positively blossoms with the Dueland 16GA interconnects.
I simply can't believe that a 60.00 pair of cables can make this big an improvement in SQ.
And, believe me, I have had my share of costly cables mover the years.
Can anyone share their experience with the Dueland DCA16GA interconnect?
Thanks for reading.
Peace!
