I would appreciate your thoughts on two different speaker cables, firstly this was recommended on another forum, code 992012, 4mm with 511 single strands:- www.electriccable.co.uk/RWDspeakercableTECC10.php#TECC10

I think most will be familiar with this next one at least by name, never seen a bad word written about it, recommended that no connectors are used although I am a little unsure about that, what do you think? www.hificollective.co.uk/wire/duelund-dual-dca16ga-tinned-multistrand-copper-wire-cotton-oil-insulated.html

They also make two very nice RCA plugs www.hificollective.co.uk/rca-plugs/duelund-rca-plugs-gold.html and www.hificollective.co.uk/rca-plugs/duelund-rca-plugs-gold-paper.html

Hi Antonio, I have tried the Duelund cable. I used it for some Quad 57's and it did a great job. To a point.

It definitely sounded really nice, good bass and sparkly highs but did sound a little 'compressed' maybe compared to more commercial style offerings.

They do make some very nice looking plugs but I don't think they represent anything approaching good value for money . . . . . do look cool though.

No experience with the first cable you linked to but 4mm copper strands is fairly standard so should be okay.

Nice website by the way, useful for making your own.

A lot of their products look like Van Damme and a few other brands, I wonder if they are a wholesaler . . . .

The cable would only be for my system here which is by no means that great, I'm using Van Damme blue at the moment, would really like some OCC Acoustic Revive or SAEC stuff but can't justify £200+ on speaker cable. The cheap stuff was recommended, 511 strands in 4mm cable, that's a lot, and thought a 2m pair with copper plugs might be ok.

What about this?

fr.aliexpress.com/item/1005002023530109.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.0.0.248b50855DJRBY&algo_pvid=1289ec7d-4977-4359-9b4c-62a5028c69b8&aem_p4p_detail=202111111832328488123147614890062625715&algo_exp_id=1289ec7d-4977-4359-9b4c-62a5028c69b8-4&pdp_ext_f=%7B%22sku_id%22%3A%2212000018446517622%22%7D

I bought some, and it sounds pretty good.
I am tempted to move up to SAEC though - the SPC-850.

Thanks for that, I have of course seen it, my usb cable is YYTCG, and I have seen this one as well which would be $10 cheaper since I can get 4m and the other one I would have to buy 5m. Did you know you can see a comparison on YT of the SAEC speaker cables, unfortunately it's in Japanese, there maybe some subtitles also. There's also another one of their power cables.
