| Hook-up Wire: Duelund DCA16GA vs Neotech STDCT-16 vs Cardas 15.5 AWG In the end, I decide to replace hook up wires in my 300B integrated. I was using Neotech Wire 22awg LEGENBURG Rectangular for many ears in this amplifier.I exchanged it to Deuelund DCA20GA wire from RCA inputs to input select (50cm) and Deuelund ... | |
| Tweeter Capacitor Upgrade (Coincident PREs) Hi @cal3713,I did experiment, I compared sound of my speakers with only Duelund RS 3.9uF in HF crossover and Duelund RS 3.9uF bypassed by Duelund Cu-Sn 0.01uF.9 month time ago when I put Duelund RS to my crossover it hadn't passed break-in and... | |

| KLE RCA plugs are the real deal!! Hi @grannyring ,Contacts of RCA connectors, tube sockets, power plugs, tonearm headshell bayonets,...are a big issue in audio.Does Total Contact Enhancer solve all this issues?Regards,Alex. | |
| KLE RCA plugs are the real deal!! I compared Duelund Cu-Sn 16avg interconnects with KLEI Pure Harmony connectors and Duelund Gold connectors.KLEIs have better separation but Duelund Golds sound more natural in terms of tone. For example, high octaves of piano sound much more real ... | |
| Tweeter Capacitor Upgrade (Coincident PREs) Hi @cal3713 ,I use Duelund bypass Cu-Sn in my HF crossover - bypassing 3.9uF Duelund RS and in the output of my phonostage - bypassing 1uF Jupiter Cu.And before Duelund RS I used Duelund bypass Cu-Sn bypassing vintage oil 4uF capacitor in H... | |
| Tweeter Capacitor Upgrade (Coincident PREs) Hi @cal3713 ,Did you give break-in to Duelund bypass?They need more then 100 hours. | |
| Tweeter Capacitor Upgrade (Coincident PREs) Hi @erik_squires ,I get it. With bypass I noticed that vocals, saxophones and acoustic guitars sound not as smooth and tonaly reach as it was without bypass. It seems it cause a deep in lover mid range.I think that vintage oil capacitors should be... | |

| Tweeter Capacitor Upgrade (Coincident PREs) I'm thinking about upgrade of a second order LP filter capacitor for my mid-bass driver.I know the quality of inductor is very important for second order LP filter.How much a quality of the second order LP filter capacitor does influence o... | |
| Duelund RCA interconnects...opinions I use Belden 8402 RCA cables between MC SUT and phonostage. I need shielded RCA cable in this position. Has anybody compared Duelund 20avg or 16avg interconnects with shield versus Belden 8402? | |
| Reasonable RCA Connectors? Furutech FP126G are very well made and sounding RCA connectors and are not expensive at all. | |
| Reasonable RCA Connectors? My KLEI did only around 24 hours, but with FryBaby2 that is much more intensive compared to normal listening break in. I will try to do this comparison again after a long time of using KLEI.I also want to compare KLEI to Furutech FP126G. | |
| Reasonable RCA Connectors? This review is my IMHO.I compared two similar Duelund tinned stranded copper twisted pair of 16 gauge.One was with KLEI Pure Harmony RCA other with Switchcraft RCA.KLEI sound much cleaner. The focus of instrument is pinpoint.Instrument separation ... | |
| Reasonable RCA Connectors? I never seen such compatibility issue between RCA connectors before!Yesterday I soldered KLEI Pure Harmony RCA connectors to my DIY Duelund DCA16GA cable.When I connected these RCA to my Chord Qutest DAC, I damaged Qutest female RCA connector cent... |
