| BEST INTERCONNECT FOR $25 EACH? He also makes great sounding Duelund XLR cables :-)I hope you have a chance to listen to the two sets of RCAs soon. | |
| Western Electric 10ga vs Dueland 16ga 16 gauge is fine for your system. The Duelund will simply sound more open, resolving and real. The WE 10 gauge will be warmer and not as open or resolving. The WE bass is slower and not as fast and crisp. You can try both for yourself in your ow... | |
| Western Electric 10ga vs Dueland 16ga I build and sell cables using both and have extensive knowledge of both. First, the Duelund wire sound more open, airy, lively and resolving. The WE wire is a tad darker sounding and warmer. I need to know now how long your speaker cables will be ... | |
| Who has Luv for the Lyngdorf 2170 and is thinking about the 3400. Remember, the unit still has to break in. | |
| Considering the New Tekton Design Encores? AND Owners Group - Experiences/Questions Yes I agree that it is a little crazy talk by Lyngdorf. It is true that RP lets you do this without the kind of major sonic set backs you get without RP. However, pulling the speakers out from the wall does nothing but help SQ. I did the tests in ... | |
| DIY Jumper Suggestions Ok. I would think stacked is much higher capacitance. Curious why you felt the need to shield these speaker cables? Sorry for all the questions, but your build sounds most interesting to me. | |
| DIY Jumper Suggestions @dgarretson Any reason you stacked them vs parallel (side by side) with a slight say 4-5 mm gap between the two or three runs. | |
| DIY Jumper Suggestions Agreed! Thanks so much! | |
| DIY Jumper Suggestions @dgarretson Great and thanks ! Decent pricing I might add. Ok. one last request. How about a link to the foil you used for your main cables? Did you end up using the foil as jumpers over the round wire? Do you find this wire is not thin and fatigu... | |
| DIY Jumper Suggestions @dgarretson Could you please give me a link to the exact wire from Rio Grande you referred to above? I am interested in the 8 gauge. Thank you! | |
| Considering the New Tekton Design Encores? AND Owners Group - Experiences/Questions Agreed @jcarcopo. I wanted the same exact thing being a strong tube guy for decades. I still work on tube amps and love them! Two things just made the combo not work for me. - something about the analog outs on my 2170 combined with the ICs just i... | |
| Considering the New Tekton Design Encores? AND Owners Group - Experiences/Questions The Lyngdorf units sound much better when used as a total system. Using another amp, regardless of the amp, deteriorates the sound in my experience. I have tried several tube amps, SS amps, and even Lyngdorf’s own 2400. In the end something was l... | |
| Duelund DCA16GA Sorry, just saw this. Yes the SLVR as the gold version was just discontinued. Pretty much the same connector as the outer barrel is just silver plated instead of gold. I did not try the Duelund, but would be interesting. The Switchcraft is not as ... | |
| Amp for Acoustic Zen Crescendo 2 ? Good for you! Most would not attempt this. Well done. | |
| Talk but not walk? Seems Geof is spot on regarding wire directionality....“Directionality in CablesIt’s all about grain structure! The microstructure of copper and silver conductors is actually made up of individual grains of the metal. Unavoidable angular patterns ... |
