Brian,
Isn't the Duelund wire suppose to be the same or similar to the Western Electric?
Glad your having great results. |

@reubent , @tomic601 , @boxer12,
That record has Gerry Garcia sittin in on the anti-Nixon song. Played that one twice. |

@noromance my LRS guy near outlaws ( my escape ) recently retired but he was a massive Span fan...lord knows I tried...just can’t get there.....yet. |
@slaw
Steve, yes, from doing some research, many also prefer the new Duelund wire over (some of) the old Western Electric, but, I dunno, I tend to be a purist 😁 and wanted the real thing.
The Western Electric WE16GA was what became the ‘legendary’ wire for audiophile use, questioned the guy who made mine about that, and he assured me, having used/listened to both, (and others), the 50’s 10GA wire was as good if not better. That WE16GA wire is about extinct now, and costs a ‘fortune’ when you find any.
I’m pleased thus far, got some ‘burning in’ to do, but he said the speaker wire only needs about 20 hours. The smaller gauge 1940’s wire used for the IC’s varies. |

@tomic601 I'm not a huge Span fan, man. I do like their Maddy Prior vocal songs though. The SQ on the compilation is solid. |
@noromance I will check it out !!!!!! |
All the talk about Joni has me pulling out "Blue". Mine is a re-issue purchased over 20 years ago. No inner sleeve. Bar code. Reprise MS-2038 on the spine.
Sounding lovely. Joni's voice is clear and extended. |
"Mental Jewelry" again after a slow steam and a long US clean. |
@tomic601 ,
I’ve decided that "Man in Motion" has a muddy midrange and soft bass.
"Bullet For You" is eerily similar to "Midnight Hour". A law suit? |

Steve - I don’t have it on vinyl, ripped copy on server. I think that gritty stuff is what he prefers, certainly Mule leans that way. You saved me some $... headed to Seattle soon, will play it on the reference |
I have been enjoying the Police box set, it will make the trek North. I know it’s a “ first world problem “ but managing vinyl collections two places is maddening..... |

Just came in the mail today. Very nice copy. Benjamin Britten conducts Britten - War Requiem. The London Symphony Orchestra and The Milos Ensemble with The Bach Choir and The Highgate School for Boys Choir. London 2LP box set 1963 Stereo. |
The above mentioned C,S,N &Y lp is superior to any version out there. Wanna bet? |
