In Reply to: RE: Audience OHNO Au24 SE ICs and Speaker Cables. posted by el34eh@yahoo.com on November 16, 2016 at 22:25:22
As I have noted in previous posts I use Beldin 8402 microphone cable as interconnects and Western Electric 16 gauge as speaker cable. through the years I have used many high priced cables but none have given me the absolute realism that these cables give me. I have also tried the Dueland 16 gauge copy of the Western Electric and while good I like the Western Electric better. For more reading on this stuff do a search for Jeffs place blog. This is where I first heard about this cable. All the cabling cost me a total of $400. Been using this stuff for 8 months now and have had no thoughts at all about other cables

Alan,
I know you have been pleased with the sound of the Western Electric 16g wires, but I don't recall reading until now that you preferred them to the Duelund version. Can you expand a little on what you like better about the WE?
I am going to try something else with the Dueland. I biamp my Maggies. I originally tried the Duelands on the amp driving the tweeters. this was the setup I like the Western Electric better. I am now going to try the Duelands on the amp driving the bass and midrange panel. Initial response is very good. I have found out the Dueland cables need 100 hours for breakin. I am only about 20. I will wait and then report. I have also ordered a pair of dueland interconnects fro Parts Connexion. I will report on those in the future

The Western Electric cable has an ability to sound like live music. The Dueland less so. The Deuland is a little more laid back and less resolving. It is a good cable but won't thrill you like the Western Electric

Interesting. I will give both of them---the WE and the Duelund---another try over the next month or two. I will be using them with Furutech spades as well as the bare wire ends I used before.
Good evening Alan,
As I've followed your post on said cables, as well as Jeff's blog on said same matters. I too have come to realize one very key factor........, which I believe most of the Europeans and Japanese seemed to have known for sometimes now, audiophile cables as we know them, sometimes aren't as musically correct as some companies would've us believe, as I noted several years ago on Pink Fish Media and Echo Loft Forums ( England and Malaysia respectively ) most users would go on and on about how they actually preferred cabling looms which were actually used by recording studios, as they felt them to have less coloration compared to said audiophile brands.
To my ears, as a reality check........., it seems my less costlier cabling are in fact the ones which have bought me closer to being inside the music venues, and less of an outsider peeking in, if you will......., so there's something other cultures are tuned into, in which Americans have seemingly forgotten for the sake of musicality itself.........., it's called a sense of realism, with a better handling of dynamic flow as well as a more organic presentation.
But I'd be merely reading into things wrong?, which wouldn't be a first.
Happy Holidays to you and yours as well.
