Are these Duelund wires good for interconnects-


Hi- Just  saw these on Parts connexion- anyone using these instead of the std. single runs-
Dual DCA16GA 2x16 awg, Tin-plated, Stranded Copper, Oiled Cotton Speaker/Interconnect

To thin for that ebm

OP, I believe there is a member of this forum who sells interconnects under the name "Acoustic BBQ" using Duelund wire. Surprised he hasn't chimed in but you can search it if you wish. 


@williewonka What size of Mundorf Silver/Gold wire do you use for your interconnects?  1.0mm or the 1.5mm?  And would you consider trying it for your speaker cables - and if so what size and how many runs of it?

Thanks
@dbass - I use the 1mm Mundorf (approx. 18 gauge I think)

I am not considering it for the speaker cables because it is just too expensive for my 9 ft speaker cables

Also, the 2 strands x 18 gauge Solid Copper with AirLok insulation from VH Audio works extremely well on my speaker cables. 

I think trying the solid silver would be in the realm of diminishing returns

But if you have the budget give the 2 strands x 18 guage solid silver wire a try.  :-)

@williewonka  - Thanks.  I am going to build a set of Helix interconnects first and then I will decide what to do for the speaker cables.  I will probably do the VH Audio Copper wire as you recommend - but my room is smaller and I can get away with 5 ft speaker cables so maybe I try the silver - we'll see.

Thanks for sharing your design I appreciate it.
