Home Cable Asylum

Interconnects, speaker wire, power cords. Ask the Cable Guys.

RE: I want to make it perfectly clear that there are cables . . .

About three hundred hours ago I had been using WE16GA for speaker cables; they replaced Clear Day shotgun cables. They have since been assigned duty to my home theater system. Since then I have been listening to the glorious sound provided by the new Duelund DCA16GA cable, without connectors. To my ears the Duelund wire is just more of the WE16GA. More of everything.

As an aside I also built a PC using the WE16GA. I used a twisted pair per pole (four wires total plus ground), copper foil tape and heavy duty grey plumbers tape and heat shrink tubing . Works pretty darn good. I also built a pair of ic's using the WE but after around two hundred hrs I removed them.

I've also been using the Beldon 8402 cable with Switchcraft 3502AAU Gold RCA's since last May. These replaced the fancy occ and KLE RCA ic's I had been using. Last week I reinstalled the Fancy ic's to see if I was missing anything. Nope, the musicality was gone. So I reinstalled the Beldon 8402 ic's; what a difference. Now I'm testing the Beldon with a set of KLE Silver Harmony RCA"s. AND, I've replaced my $200 silver SPDIF with the Beldon-Switchcraft combo. It's much more musical.

So the bottom line for me and my system is the Duelund and Beldon are here to stay.
