Veritas Cables a new brand that I found
Use 16 gauge, not 20, for ICs and the Duelund will sound much better than you realized as ICs. Still not as good as the Veritas 😀.  Also use KLEI connectors.  Agree on using the 10 gauge Duelund for speaker cables unless one is using a 2-8 watt tu... 
Veritas Cables a new brand that I found
As many know here on Agon,  I used to build cables using the Duelund stranded and tinned copper wire in cotton for a couple of years.  They are very musical for sure.  I recently purchased the Argentum R interconnects and I really like them. I fee... 
Let's talk music, no genre boundaries
TB Sheets is about a woman dying of TB and Van was very young when he wrote and recorded this song.  I think he was 21.  It is  primarily a blues influenced song. Van certainly incorporates  jazz, rock, blues and folk in his music, but TB Sheets i... 
Best DAC’S $5k to $15k
I enjoy the Cinnamon Audio Galle dac for $15k.  It is made in Portugal and the design is most interesting and innovative.  Just go to the Cinnamon Audio site and read about it. For me it is the most musical piece of gear I have heard or owned.  It... 
And a Happy 4th to all!
This was a sarcastic response to the post just ahead of mine with the stupid King reference and rant. Ok.  The ridiculous post was apparently removed.      Happy 4th of July to my fellow Agoners! I am thankful for this country and yes even the fa... 
And a Happy 4th to all!
Thank you for yet another off topic rant. This is ruining this site. You read the truth of the rule, but will not submit to it and whine.  
And a Happy 4th to all!
Site rules and why political posts are removed.  This is easy to understand folks.  Stay on the audio subject per the established rules.  Nothing to do with free speech. Everything to do with the rules of this audio forum only.  We don’t own it.  ... 
And a Happy 4th to all!
Some here just cannot help themselves and post political and world view stuff endlessly. Every thread they are on is polluted.  Near every one. At some point Agon won’t tolerate them any longer as this is an audio site. They will be gone because t... 
The Audiophile's Wife no longer putting it out?
Sorry to say she has moved on and is now working on a book about being intentional in life.  Seems she has no intention of resurrecting TAW.   Too bad.    
DIY Helix Geometry Cabling
When I build DC power cables for linear power supplies I sometimes double or triple shield with noticeable sonic improvements.  
DIY Helix Geometry Cabling
For the 5v USB conductor I used this shielded conductor.  I think I used 20 gauge, but this is fine also.  I simply don’t recall 100% on the gauge.  I do think shielding is important in a usb cable on the 5V. I would run it outside of the helix co...

Happy 4th of July to my fellow Agoners! I am thankful for this country and yes even the fact that we don’t have a king.  Enjoy family and friends this weekend.       
Leave it on?
Very true. Amplifiers also benefit sonically in my experience.    
Leave it on?
I have a field  coil power supply for my speakers. I do keep it turned off.   
Leave it on?
Ok @gano I leave you with your opinions and conclusions. Enjoy your music!
