Duelund Tinned Copper Speaker Cables

Happy post Thanksgiving to all.

I recently read an intriguing comment on a rather old school product; Duelund Tinned Copper speaker cables. I have used Luna tinned copper interconnects with good results in terms of tone and timbre.

I wonder if the Duelund speaker cables would also offer good tone and timbre and a sense of realism. They seem rather simple in design and are devoid of some of the newer cable features ( ie insulation and complex geometries etc) but the reviews would suggest they excel nonetheless.

I wonder if anyone has any direct experience with them?

As always thanks for your insights.

They are all constructed a little different and are available in different gauges. I was not previously aware of Luna. Luna Cables (tinned copper in waxed cotton) Duelund Tinned Copper Speaker Cable (tinned copper in oiled cotton) Jupiter Condenser Wire (tinned copper in lacquered cotton) SUPRA Ply 3.4 Speaker Cable (tinned copper in pvc) Western Electric Copper Wire (tinned copper in plastic then covered with cotton, available new or NOS)

The cables as they are have a very low noise floor and are very dynamic and detailed.sound with the warmth often associated to Tube gear BTW I’m using a Bryston B125 Integrated amp with Gershman Sonogram Speakers, which for me, is a very nice combination My IC’s use OCC Silver for the signal wires and OCC solid copper for the Neutral. But there are some menbers that have tried building my IC’s and preferred using the Duelund tinned copper wire with cotten insulation because they preferred its musicality. Regards - Steve

Maybe dark is wrong; they just weren't bright enough for me.
