Duelund DCA16GA

I have tried bare vs. connectors of varying types with WE and Duelund 16GA  (haven't tried 12 GA yet).

I prefer bare.  There is a purity to the sound that I like.  Various connectors flavored the sound, making things different, but not necessarily better.   

Also avoid binding posts. I mod my amp and speakers to only use binding posts as clamps, never to conduct signal. They also degrade sound in very obvious ways once you learn how to bypass them. 

Bare wire to bare wire is so much better sounding. Output wires from  the amp are clamped to my speaker wire directly. Same thing on the speaker end. Just think about that mass of brass covered in a thin coating etc... Avoid those binding posts! Even the best connectors and posts are bottlenecks. The improvement is shocking folks. Best mod I do and have done. 

Since the Duelund wire is tinned it will not oxidaize etc... I use it in my speaker crossovers and amp also. 

Is it still possible to buy WE10 these days?

I'm considering try these Duelund as speaker cables and was wondering since a 12 awg is available, would you recommend 12 awg on the bass section and the 16 awg on the upper section or 16 or 12 awg all the way around?

Thanks,

I have some Deulund DCA 16ga coming to experience this vintage tone that everyone is raving about! I'm so anxious to hear these after one week on my Audiodharma Cable Cooker and another week or so to settle into my system.

More to follow in about a month...
