blue jeans cable?
I tried BJ cables twice and found them to be a tad bright and unrefined.  I did like their subwoofer cables however.  Two different systems yielded the same results for me. I find the newer bulk Duelund wire makes for a far more refined and musica... 
Room treatment and speaker placement????
@shadowcat2016  Most times when we post here we have no idea of the life stories and realities others have dealt with and continue to deal with.  So very sorry to hear about your wife and your loss. Being married 40 years combined with your deligh...

Many of us Aphiles, yes even known ones of good assumed audio character here on the Gon, have sold our big dollar branded cables and made DIY ICs and speaker cables using Duelund stranded copper wire in cotton. These certainly do offer the kind of... 
Room treatment and speaker placement????
Many people cannot use room treatments because their living space is a shared space that also happens to be their living room. Many nice and loving spouses just don’t want to fill the living room with all manner of ugly treatments. Yes they are ug...

Back to the OP. You should do some searching on the Duelund stranded copper wire in cotton. The 16 gauge makes wonderful ICs and speaker cables. It costs $10 a meter at Parts Connextion. Many Aphiles here and folks like Jim Smith and Jeff Day have...

To clarify I did not start this and just read the posts before mine. My mistake was continuing it. You may have made the same mistake it seems. It depends on wether or not you think it was a mistake.

Ok @geoffkait we just could not possibly disagree more and let’s leave it at that. No way is this forum the place to try and sort this argument out. I should not have tried to offer a differing view on this off topic tangent.   My bad. Back to aff...

Well gaps and speculations. There’s a whole lotta faith going on in what we term science today. No way around it as it is a natural outcome of our imperfect and incomplete human condition and wisdom. A clear thinker such as yourself must understan...

Actually we do have examples of faith based notions that are presented to us as science. The “science”of the earth’s age, earth’s formation and creation, Big Bang etc... all have major gaps that require “faith”.

I make cables with Duelund wire. If you are into DIY you can also. Sold $2000 Cables for these and these sound better. The Duelund stranded copper wire in oil impregnated cotton is wonderful and as good as the big dollar cables I have owned. Bette...

@rx8man Come on now you know you want one! Perhaps you can try one against your excellent CEC unit? Not sure if there is a trial program or time period? Your DAC deserves the best it can get. Right?
