Duelund RCA interconnects...opinions

Yes indeed I Sell lots of them here. I like the 16 gauge wire with KLEI connectors the most for sound quality.

Yes I have tried that. Others are also now saying to mix some silver wire in with the Duelund tinned stranded copper. I have tried both and to my ears nothing sounds better than a twisted pair of 16 gauge. The other options start to sound not quite right over extended listening. The top to bottom balance, tone, body and weight become a tad out of kilter. There is a special balanced coherence that I love about the 16 gauge as ICs. There is something about the rightness of the sound with the 16 gauge. It helps our systems not be fussy and lets us enjoy the music without judging this and that sonic parameter.

Thus far far my favorite connectors are...

KLEI RCAs.....all of them, but the Pure Harmony is very, very goodd
Vampire XLRs...pure copper conductors. These are a joy to work with also.

Like everything audio it just depends on one’s sonic priorities and subjective tastes.

16 gauge is needed on the xlr set for best sound. Yes, connector quality matters for sure.  

My experience has been very different having owned a gaggle of various end cables. Duelund just sounds more like real music and not Hifi. Sure some wire has more perceived resolution and sharper leading edges, but I have found through long term listening tests that musicality and tone win over sonic impressiveness in the highs etc..... I suppose it all comes down to your individual sound preferences and priorities.  As always! 

The connectors used also impact the sound ...... greatly.
