Duelund shielding
I have some Duelund dual DCA12GA on order for speaker cable. I'm seeking a richer, warmer tone and this unique cable is well recommended. I am wondering though if anyone who is using it has gone to the effort of shielding it.
As far as I can tell, the cable is tinned copper and only wrapped in cotton. There is no shielding. I've also noticed that vendors such as Audiolund are repackaging it with added shielding.
Has anyone tried buying a metal braiding and shielded the raw cable themselves? Did it improve the sound?
Thanks all, for your comments @mitch2 , I'm not intending to use connectors, but will follow the advice in this review. My speakers (ATC SCM40) are 3-way and have 3 sets of binding posts. At the moment I have the supplied metal jumper bars in place. I had up to this point been dreading having to buy 2 sets of jumpers for my existing cable (TelluriumQ Ultra Black II). But, instead, I can use bare wire. Just have to be careful there are no stray strands which might short the amp. |
