Price per cut-meter, non-terminated. To order the desired lenght, insert the appropriate quantity in the basket ( 1 quantity = 1 meter) and then update the basket.
IMPORTANT: For very long sections, exceeding 10/15 metres, please let us know how many sections it is necessary to divide the cable into and we will provide them already cut to the exact lengths.
The Duelund DCA12GA is based on the legendary vintage Western Electric WE12GA cable, but using Duelund's philosophy of uncompromising craftsmanship and construction, sonic splendour, palpability, and transparency.
This version has been designed for speaker cable applications; using a loosely twisted pair for each channel.
Tinned copper multistrand wire in a black cotton and oil dielectricum – among enthusiasts recognised as the go-to wire for “REAL” sound.
NOTE: many enthusiasts experimented to double, triple or quadruple the cable conductor in parallel to enrich and condition the timbre balance and to perfectly optimize the result on their systems: the 12 Gauge section gives more body and presence on bass frequencies and is therefore suitable for audio systems with "light" basses; but if the bass risponse is excessive or you have rumble at low frequencies please choose the DCA16. The DCA12 sounds a bit more relaxed and liquid, while the DCA16 is more transparent and clean. Therefore the DCA12 is slightly richer, warmer and complete in respect of the 16, while this latter is more neutral, vivid and slightly bright on highs, with more presence on nuances. Both, however, are musically superb. For the richest and fullest response ever, see also the DCA10GA model.
It goes without saying that it is possible and indeed recommended to consider to make several sends in parallel, and you may customize your result using: 12-16, 16-16, 12-16-20, 12-16-16-20, etc.
Suggestions for termination: Duelund cables match well with simple and minimal connectors, with screw-type fixing for speakers, interconnect and power or even, when possible (for speakers cables) the stripped cable can directly be used - tin material does not oxidize with time!
This wire has been much anticipated and is already receiving very good reviews.

Cavo Potenza Dueland 12 GA
Il cavo si presente ben costruito in un unico spezzone. Pertanto va assemblato e tagliato con cura per avere la stessa misura per canale. Ho preferito inserire il cavo nel mio impianto senza l'uso di banane o forcelle, ma solo cavo spellato come suggerito dal costruttore. Per apprezzare la naturalezza e le sue caratteristiche è necessario attedere un pò. Il rodaggio, in questo caso, è d'obbligo per apprezzare il suono di questo cavi. In pratica, dopo un primo e sconcertante inizio d'ascolto che mi ha lasciato un pò perplesso, da un suono scuro e poco dinamico, ho apprezzato una emissione del suono molto naturale e una buona scena acustica. Mano a mano che il cavo si rodava il suono si assestava su una particolare cura nella riproduzione dei medio alti con un basso profondo e controllato. In pratica servono circa 200/300 ore di ascolto per apprezzare a pieno le caratteristiche del Dueland che migliora ad ogni ascolto.
Infine posso dire che per le mie orecchie, ed il mio impianto (valvolare) si è rivelata una scelta molto soddisfacente.
Cavo Potenza Dueland 12 GA
Il cavo si presenta molto duttile, si presta pertanto a più soluzioni come ad esempio cablaggio interno diffusori e come cavo di potenza per il collegamento tra ampli e casse.
Personalmente ho assemblato il cavo segnando in primis il polo positivo in quanto il cavo arriva spedito in un unico filo che una volta tagliato deve essere marcato per distinguere i due poli. Pertanto ho utilizzato un pezzo di guaina rossa termorestringente per i due poli positivi. E' tutto molto semplice, ma è necessaria un pò di attenzione per fare un buon lavoro.
Il collegamento è diretto con filo spellato, come suggerito in vari articoli. Il cavo ha sostituito un MIT Shotgun S3 in BW, ma per il momento mi riservo di fare commenti sul risultato finale dato che una volta installato necessità di tempo per un adeguato rodaggio. Le prime impressioni sono molto buone, ovviamente, in rapporto al mio personale impianto che è composto da Leben CS300 X, Lector Cdp 7, Sigma Acoustic Orchestra, prephono Mastersound PhonoM 1. Credo di aver trovato un cavo molto naturale che si sposa magnificamente con ampli a valvole.
suono VERO
cavo che non aggiunge e non toglie, caratteristica fondamentale per godere della propria musica senza colorazioni .
