The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway
No longer play vinyl here but thanks anyway for the memory. I haven’t thought about this concert in years but remember seeing the tour on Feb. 2, 1975 in GR, MI. Biggest spectacle I had seen since Yes’ fire-breathing dragon. Three video screens (u... 
Duelund DCA16GA
Hi Grannyring,I have read you are making ICs from the Duelund 16ga stranded tinned wire and I am curious whether you have tried making any from their 20ga stranded tinned wire?  If so, what did you hear differently between the two and which do ... 
2017 Honest Cabling that doesn’t promote bankruptcy
What covers the oil impregnated cotton to make it safe to use as a conductor?Jim, I would not use the Duelund wire to make power cords but the cotton covering should be fine when using the wire as ICs or SCs.The Western Electric wire was designe... 
Lesson Learned
Fair enough, my experience not yours.Your lesson learned is a very good reminder for those whose purchases are heavily influenced by opinions from  reviews and forum posts.  The only person to satisfy is yourself and there is no substitute for hea... 
Lesson Learned
Lessons learned:I have been doing this for awhile too and finally learned - don't sell something before trying the potential replacement in your own system.  This is particularly true once you have your system mostly dialed in.  You were smart not... 
Duelund DCA16GA
I bought a bunch more of the WE10ga before I left to ride my bike across Iowa.I biwire my speakers with a pair of 10 awg wires on top and a second pair on the bottom and I have considered trying star quad runs for 7 awg to top and bottom, but have... 
The Music Room
Late to the party here but my experience with them was also good.  Very professional to deal with and two very heavy monoblocks were well packaged and promptly shipped. 
Directionality of wire
All of these arguments can be flipped around and applied to either side, sort of like a non-directional fuse 😎 
Directionality of wire
Ok, so for an interesting read, I have attached a link to a bulletin from the Michigan College of Mining and Technology....folks who should know a thing or two about copper, because they've seen a thing or two. The Bulletin is from 1936 and is t...

Is everyone deluded yet?Are you experienced?Have another hit... 
Directionality of wire
More fun...here we go...You quoted Chris S. who wrote to you;"the idea of wire directionality is a complete myth"  Not necessarily, from a metallurgical perspective, but the idea that any directional deviations (based on wire is drawn or finis... 
Warm, rich sounding interconnects?
Ok rotarius, I failed to see that your point focused on intellectual property.  Your post seemed more interested in discussing your politics of denouncing corporations and executives whoall they care about is the results at the end of the quarter ... 
Warm, rich sounding interconnects?
czarivey, I agree with you on both accounts.I believe most (inorganic) things can be explained by math (and physics) and so of course I am skeptical of audiophile products that require a large amount of advertising and a groundswell of support on ... 
Fuses fuses fuses
In response to Al's statement earlier in this thread, Not sure if there are any other UL listed audiophile-oriented fuses. The Audio Magic Super High Definition Beeswax fuses are indeed UL listed.......before the Audio Magicians drill tiny holes...
