The Speaker Cable Reference Series sound very dynamics, with high and low fluctuations are very smooth. Sound density is also very high, with full body, pure and delicate, at the same time sound very musical. The texture is natural with charming music, rich information of premium vinyl/analog sound. Duelund tinned copper wire has similar sound characteristics as the taste of the original Western Electric (WE) sound. The overall sound is very musical, and it does bring out the melodies of your music to give you a harmonious and relax experience.
My humble suggestion: Reference Series ~ Speaker Cable is designed with a balance Duelund WE typical sound characteristic, suitable for most Hi-Fi system. It should be picked as a reference cable in a balance system. Disclaimer: All the Hi-Fi setup different in term of Equipment/Speaker/Room/Accessories etc. so, you may get different results in different setup. The above suggestion is only for your reading reference only.
Cable Run-In: Audiolund cables are mostly multi-core design with various combinations of wires. Thus, all Audiolund cables will require a long time to run in. OCC Silver wires are thick solid core wires, will take even longer time to run in than Duelund tinned copper multi-strands of parallel thin core wires. The general guideline for run-in time, estimated 100 – 200 hours.
I got the Reference SC for my secondary system so I choose from the more affordable range from Audiolund. To get a sense of sound signature, I tried in my main system, replacing the Antipodes Komko silver/gold alloy SC. My entire system is cabled with Antipodes Reference or Komko cables which have fended off far more expensive and big name challengers in my system. Antipodes cables are no longer produced (the company has focused on digital network players) but were very well reviewed when they were available. I was expecting some copper forwardness and drop in sound quality but I was pleasantly surprised by the naturalness of the Audiolund cables. They were competing despite the big price difference. The build quality of Audiolund cables is also top notch that belie their price. I believe these cables represent great value. Highly recommended!
