Unlike some on here I have never really spent lots on cables once the cost gets too far I've £100 I have issues both with not having the money spare to pay out and if the difference they will make is worth the cost . Now I do hear differences in some cables but not for me at least huge differences and often not worth the cost . I have read a number of comments and reports about the Duelund cables but the cost for 5 metre pair plus plugs was too much . However many of those making positive comments are people I know and trust so when a user ready plug in pair came up I decided I would take a chance . Although in the pantheon of cables this is not that costly it is still the most I have ever spent on any speaker cables . Arrived this morning and fitted over an hour ago . To my great surprise they sound very good straight from the off . I would expect from previous cable inserts that this will improve over the next few days which if that happens will make this a very good buy. Will make more comments next week but so far this has been a chance worth taking .

Good to hear when an upgrade works out. Let us know how you get on after more listening.

Okay been a few days now and the cable has been running at low volume for about 36 hours . Listening today and these are my type of cable they are unfussy natural and I would guess for many boring . They very clearly do not spotlight any part of the music instead they seem to just get out of The way and let the music shine . They remind me of my favourite cable in the past DNM solid core many commented they had no bass but I found this to be that all the bass and detail was there it was just presented in my view correctly as part of the whole sound . I really like this cable and they will be staying . I think these are now the best they are going to be and that is good enough for me . They are worth getting a listen to it you can but I am sure they will not be to everyone's taste .

Being 2nd hand can be a bonus as 'run in'
The price advantage of course is great

Well the thing with used items is you are never too sure what they have been used with and for how long . So as I mentioned straight from plug in these cables sounded very good . I had noticed a slight improvement after playing for say three or four hours . I then put them on low volume play with Cascade for about 12/18 hours and when I cam back to them they had opened out a little more and sounded excellent . I used them most of that day and they remained as they were so I presumed that this was it . Well another night of low power Cascade treatment seems to have given them a little bit more . I will be doing another full day on Saturday in to Sunday morning and see if this then stays the same . So yes used items can be run in but in this case not run in enough . Still very happy though and not planning to remove these any time soon .
