Had the 12 gauge before, but the 10 gauge add a deeper dimension to the sound. Been making and also selling a few sleeved versions of these to my friend and they are very happy

AM, yes, I have the Duelund too/very good. .....I prefer my current ear/brain.....run DIY.

Speaker Cables over time:

Kimber 8TC
Kimber KS3033
Kimber KS3035
Zen Styx
Kimber KS6063
Duelund 12awg/Oil impregnated
Anticables
Townsend Audio's best.....returned to TMR
Fidelium Cables / Silversmith Audio
Audience frontRow .....rerturned to TMR
UP-OCCC DIY
UP-OCCCopper DIY with 6N Silver (see signature - hybrid of Kimber KS6063/KS6065 solid core)

Combination of 24awg solid core and 19awg stranded per Kimber's formula; something more real musically about these gauges. My ZDSD and ZMA get to really show what they can do (D-60, Takshaka, KS1030 & current DIY).

I'm 12awg to each speaker post with 9awg aggregate to each speaker with solid core and stranded.
According to my trusty Wirebarn combination calculator:

24awg 6N silver solid core x 2 ConneX (Parts Connexion) PTFE
24awg UP-OCCC solid core x 3 Neotech (Sonic Craft)
19awg Kimber Wire TCSS Hyper-Pure Copper, VariStrand, *PTFE Dielectric x 3 (Parts Connexion)

.............very pleased....love what I created.

Snake River Audio Christmas Sale!

I am going for the Takshaka Speaker Cables. Can they dethrone my DIY Hybrid.

Do have and love the Takshaka IC's (since last January).

Holding off on the Takshaka speaker cables. I am so enamored/proud of my hybrid creation.

I decided to soup up the Mid-fi Rig! I took delivery of SVS Prime Pinnacle Speakers and the PB-1000 Pro Subwoofer. Very pleased! I still have my POLK 1.2 SDA-SRS Speakers. I alternate with SUB always in play dialed in.

It is not the Listening Room Decware System. However, for Solid State Class AB, is enjoyable.

Happy Holidays to All!
