Still getting around to building a pair of shootgun Duelunds.In the mean time I've noticed that the current single run of 10awg seems to still be breaking in, and/or my gear is still breaking in....all of which only has about 250hrs or so, maybe close to 300. Either way, I think I need to wait until things settle down to remove that break-in variable.
Just for kicks I did a little experiment with the twist. From the start there was a very, very loose twist about 1 or so per foot. I totally untwisted the wires and had them apart from each other for a day. The sound because a bit less focused, noticeably so. The next day I twisted the cables about 3-4 per foot, I could tell immediately that the focus came back. I'm going to let that stay while I think about how to twist the wires for each polarity and how to twist the polarities together.
I've been looking for and debating whether I should use banana plugs, spades or bare wire for the ends. Can't fit two 10awg or a 7awg bare wire into the speaker or amp lugs so I'd have to stagger and crimp the wires so that only one end on each side is exposed to insert into the whole for bare wire. Otherwise using a banana or space means adding a bit of 'something' from the banana or spade [as they are not 100% transparent].
Side note: I don't doubt the Jupiter cables provide a bit more detail, esp considering they use lacquered cotton as supposed to oiled cotton for the Duelund. So maybe another experiment is in order.
