I'm Andrew.
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.

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

I honestly think it's a load of shit what he claims bit it's a little bit of fun really and I totally agree with you and Simon with your comments especially about the physical properties of the cables. Should prove a good laugh to the lads & lasses on AOS. I'm not taking this too seriously

I took one look at the Blog and switched off. Can't stand white text on a black background. man obviously has no taste so no point in reading further
There seems to be (still?) an entire mindset that equates Price with quality: 'Mo' $ means Better'...well dohhh.
PT Barnum had it right.
Son once wanted to sell a car that he was tired of.
He priced it fairly for a quick sale... there were Zero responses to his advert.
Suggested he double the price.
Very next day there was a bidding war.
Everybody was happy

Did look a bit before my eyes cried enough. Just one look at all the crud he needs in order to listen to music and it's obvious we live in different worlds. he is a hi-fi fan first and foremost and has bought into every bit of snake oil imaginable.

I have more than enough leads of all types at the moment. But I tend to make my own from good quality cable. To be honest, if I want more, I'll likely be using Cardas or Audio Note offerings for interconnects and Transparent Audio for speaker cables. These are a known quantity to me and provide excellent sound quality. Yes, I know their upper end stuff has loony prices. I use the sensibly priced wire.

Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

I may have some seventies leads with those on in the workshop. If I get a chance tomorrow, I'll take a look. If I can find them and if there actually are any.
