I have tried the WE16g (several varieties) and the Belden 8402 interconnect, and went through the cycle of being impressed initially but then disappointed. Neither is used in my system at present. Yes, the WE wire and the Belden wire, whether used together or with other wires, do sound smooth and musical and they have a warmth that is missing from many systems. However, in my system which was already smooth, musical and warm to begin with, the WE and Belden end up being too colored and they are not as detailed or refined as my other cables.
Despite all that, I ordered some of the new Duelund wire. At the price, I can't resist trying it just to see whether it might succeed where the others did not.

Keep me posted -Salectric & Mick.
I will post something about the new Duelund wires, but probably not right away. It takes time to get the full measure of a new wire especially considering break-in time. Several times I have made the mistake of posting a favorable comment about something after only a day or two, only to find out later that my opinion had changed. Sometimes the ear latches onto the "good" things right away and ignores or downplays the not-so-good qualities. It takes longer listening to get a full, balanced appreciation of something new.
