I tried Duelund interconnects. At first they were...well...underwhelming to me. I decided to let them break in for about a month just to be sure. At first it was a little discouraging because the character didn't change at all for the first 2 weeks. A closed-in sound. Not much air or detail throughout the spectrum...actually a sort of warmish, slightly colored or 'honeyed' sound - like a "vintage" sound, but in the worst way here.
But like I say, this sound signature in my setup anyway, wouldn't budge off of dead center for at least 2 weeks. On day 15 or 16, I began to to notice what I **thought** might be the beginning of a change, but wasn't yet convinced. Over the next 3 days though, things started to improve dramatically. By day 21 they had fully come out of their shell and they have proven to me their merit in spades. They, in my setup, are neutral, transparent, detailed with great imaging and soundstage. They are keepers for me. Might be tough for me to find anything else this good for near the price.
Good luck!
