Hi all,
I've used Duelund wires for speaker cables for years. A couple of months agso, I had a set of unshielded interconnects made.
These are based on DCA20GA wire terminated with Switchcraft RCA plugs known from Jeff's Place & The Audio Beatnik (amongst others). I can see both speaker wires & interconnects are popular on this forum too.
Next, I'd like to experiment with both a shielded version of the DCA20GA, perhaps with RCA connectors from Audio Note or KLE Innovations - and a set of interconnects based on Duelund Silver wire.
There are three different types: 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0. I'm trying to figure out what the three types of wire correspond to in the GA system (i.e. same conductivity & capacitance as the DCA20GA).
The DCA20GA is 1.8mm with and internal diameter of 0.95mm - this wire is made from tinned copper.
Data on the three types of silver wire:
Silver 1.0
Internal foils measures - 2.5mm width by 0.25mm height; External measurements - 3.9mm width by 2mm height
Silver 2.0
Internal foils measures - 4.5mm width by 0.25mm height; External measurements - 5.65mm width by 2mm height
Silver 3.0
Internal foils measures - 4.5mm width by 0.25mm height; External measurements - 5.65mm width by 2mm height
So my question boil down to this: Which of the silver wires corresponds mostly closely to the DCA20GA.
In addition, I'd be very happy for any feedback, experiences og tips.
Thanks in advance,
Kasper Bergholt
