| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling Speaker Cable Update!I received the 18 gauge solid copper with AirLok insulation from VH Audio yesterday. It took almost 4 weeks to arrive at my house in Canada - via USPS/Canada post. This is the longest any product purchased from VH Audio (norma... | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling @kurt12k - history has us believing that for speaker cables, generally a thicker gauge provides better performance.
