Duelund DCA16GA
pc123v,The Belden 8402 ICs are a great match for both WE16ga or Duelund DCA16ga. You can read about them about them at Jeff Day's Blog, jeffsplace.me or at boppinwiththebeatnik.com from Jack Roberts. I agree with their thoughts on the WE16ga and/o...

Duelund DCA16GA
The Beatnik says: "Well yestday afternoon I broke down and put the High Fidelity UR speaker wires back in the system. I was surprised how similar they sound, but I definitely prefer the Duelund. The High Fidelity UR has a quieter background, there... 
Duelund DCA16GA
The Dueland DCA16ga tops the WE16ga. Read what Jack Roberts (the Beatnik) of Dagogo has to say, basically, he like likes them better than the Hi Fidelity top of the line cables at $11,000 to $16,000. Or you can read about them at Jeff Day's Blog, ...

Best wishes to Martin Glasband, a true Pioneer
miko71,I wish the mods would ban you! You are a jerk and way out of line. 
What piece(s) of equipment would you most like to try?
Tannoy Westminster Royal SE, Altec Volte 5 with mods aka Jeff Day and Yazaki-San, Yazaki-san model DA-3 tube amplifier, Kondo Audio Note 300B (all of them), Dueland Crossover, Garrad 301 turntable with the plinth and Stillpoints mods advertised he... 
When and what was your last significant equipment upgrade?
Hi davidpritchard,Thanks for the kind words. You have a really wonderful set-up. I installed the Synergistic Black fuse plus I already had the complete Oyaide R-1 and WPZ wall plate. Also added Akiko in to outlet. Everything is working in harmony,... 
When and what was your last significant equipment upgrade?
DeVore 0/96 Orangutan speakers to pair with Coincident Dynamo SE Mark II. Only $1,500 for amp with built-in volume control. Wow!!! Great sound with mostly NOS tubes, NOS Western Electric WE16ga speaker wires, Belden 8402 interconnect, all Western ... 
SET amps (almarro vs decware)
Hi Charles,You are absolutely right. The new transformers and power supply makes this 8 watt hard to beat at many times its cost. It's also driving my brother's Harbeth SHL5s with aplomb; quite remarkable. Best, Rob 
SET amps (almarro vs decware)
I really like the Almarro (I owned one), but a better sounding more powerful amp is the Coincident Dynamo SE or the Coincident Dynamo SE Mark II, $1,200 to 1,500, which I own and am extremely happy with.  This amp has 2 EL34 power tubes, a 5ar4 Re... 
Turntable Advice
Or, you could get a new Pioneer PLX 1000 reviewed recently in Stereophile by Herb Reichert, for about $695. It is basically identical to the old Technics 1200. Reichert thought some aspects better than certain VPI. Check it out. You might be happy... 
Who is you go to for top quality vinyl
Oregonpapa, all...I also lived in Westwood, CA, (wife at UCLA, me, working in Hollywood) but in 80's, boy, I loved Rhino Records, and many other places, but, sadly now all just fond memories. Back then it was Thorens 124 turntable and my first int...
