2017 Honest Cabling that doesn’t promote bankruptcy
Cotton is the only outer covering and all that is needed. It is sturdy, thick, and safe. No worries. You can purchase this wire from Parts Connextion. They sell the 16ga and 12 ga. I like the Duelund and love the Western Electric NOS wire which th... 
Tekton Double Impacts
@brotw ,I have a very good idea for you based on my experience with your speaker cable. I used it in the past and know the sound. It can sound bright. The ICs from them can also sound bright. I owned both. Buy the Western Electric 10 gauge bulk wi... 
Tekton Double Impacts
@porscheracer, I love the fact you are using very good value wire that sounds very nice indeed. I like two bulk DIY wires that represent wonderful value also. The Western Electric NOS 10ga stranded and tinned copper wire and the new Duelund 16ga s... 
Duelund DCA16GA
Nice ride through Iowa! Awesome! Jealous for sure. Agreed on the WE10 wire. I love it. I suggest the poster try one run as I say above.  Iit is possible two separate runs will sound better. But perhaps not. Depends on speakers, amp etc...In my sys... 
Duelund DCA16GA
I would not biwire. Just strip off about 5 inches and run the cable from the bottom posts to the top in a continuous run. My posts have holes that I ran the wire through. This is how I would do it. I love the WE10 on the mids and highs even more t... 
Amp for Acoustic Zen Crescendo 2 ?
Thanks Al.Here is why I ask. I mod lots of gear and usually hear differences. I have modified this unit removing those Wima .47uf caps at the output. I replaced them with some decent Jupiter HT caps. I did hear an improvement and that is fine. How... 
Amp for Acoustic Zen Crescendo 2 ?
@almarg ,I have a question for you. The Lyngdorf does use a very small inductor and .47uf cap on the output just before the speaker binding posts. How important do you think the quality, sound wise, of the cap is in this position? Since the entire... 
Clarity Cap CMR Impressions
Wondering if you guys have tried using the new Duelund silver foil bypass cap .01uf in electronics. Right now I have them with some Jupiter foils caps on the output of my amp. Just added the Duelund so I can compare to the Jupiter alone. Thus far ...

Sonic qualities of SET output tubes?
 Charles, no doubt your speakers are much easier to drive then my old TVll's.  Your speakers do not show up used very often, if at all. I used to look for them a couple of years ago.

Very nice review and thanks for taking the time!  
Sonic qualities of SET output tubes?
Thor TPA 30s.   Great, great amps. First Watt M2 smooth and warm. Neither had enough omph when at times. Then an I got some TRL Samson monoblock amps and things just opened up with no more sense of tentative or nervous sound. These were 200 watt S... 
Sonic qualities of SET output tubes?
I owned the Coincident Total Victory II and found they also needed more watts to sound their best. However, I know Charles1dad has had, and continues to have, stellar results with his 8-10 watts on his set of Coincident Speakers. I am sure he will...
