My "REAL SOUND" experiment.

[Wakefield Turntables]

So, I very rarely believe in the hype that most cable companies spin nowadays and generally buy products that have been road tested by fellow Audiophiles. I've recently found Jeff's place over at www.jeffsplace.me and have been following his posts. I decided that I too would try the "real sound" experiment. Sourcing some of the cables is a real bugger and can be expensive. So you will need the following

Duelund DCA16GA speaker cable - Mine came from the USA
Belden 8402 microphone cable - Mine came from POLAND!
Switchcraft 3502AAU RCA’s - Mine came from the UK

I would strongly recommend you read Geoff's posts if you wish to participate. I've been using the Duelund DCA16GA for about 20 hours now and need about 100 hours usage before a so called "transformation" occurs. I will be making the Belden/Switchcraft IC's tomorrow when I have a little time.

He seems very keen on Duelund in general.


100% Analogue

All that banging on about "tone", reminds me of what people used to say about a new radiogram: "It's got a nice tone"!

Typical enthusiast’s blog - self indulgent and boring.

A blog, by it's very nature, is self-indulgent. The bloke's got good taste in speakers, at least give him that

Interesting to see some classic British kit in among the usual American stuff.

Unfortunately I don't think self-indulgent comes close. This blog makes Dr Frasier Crane seem humble and unpretentious, the pieces about him drinking his obscurista coffee in the morning are

Thanks to Brian I have have some ICs made up to start this fun experiment. I must admit I'm very sceptical and Jeff the chap that inspired this seems to excessively eulogise DUelund products, but this is just for fun. I'll post some pix over the next few days.

Lol, people who can, do, and those who can't swap cables. Save your money Andy...

I needed a spare set of speaker cables anyway I have 5 pairs of speakers sitting in the listening room at the moment with only one pair of speaker cables, so why not try something different. It's not actually all that bad.

+1

except that in this instance, at least it won't be wasted and it sounds like cables aren't the thing that you're really short of.....a few extra rooms to house your growing 'speaker collection seem to be where the real need is at!


A Blog's a blog's a blog and people are free to write whatever they like. "Salt" and "Pinch of" are words that spring to mind (being very kind) in this particular case

As for the 100 hours thing for the cable to mysteriously change it's physical properties in some magical way....well, the less said, the better really
