Thiel Owners

Unsound - later today (or tomorrow) I hope to directly compare some wire of interest to you.
• Original OCOS / double runs• Straightwire Octave II which Steven Hill recommended as their best bang for buck cable• Morrow SP-4 copper / double runs
I have been using the Morrow and Straightwire, so I have a baseline for the OCOS.

@tomthiel, Will you be using the OCOS with their brand of zobels?

@unsound i have never tried OCOS.  

Pops - I don't have their Zobels. These OCOS cables have been with me since about 1990 when Thiel Audio "upgraded" to more something better. I believe it was Straightwire coax prototypes with similar geometry but better wire and dielectrics. I don't know whether SW still makes such cables. Over the years, using these OCOS in many situations, with many amps and speakers, they seem to stay neutral however they're used. Coax cable claims such characteristics. I have double pairs, but have had to hotrod the termination plugs with hard-wired ends. The ends break tabs, etc. and Sumiko no longer services them.

Oops, that response was for for unsound. From very early-on, perhaps the beginning, but at least the CS3 in 1983, Jim built zobels into the crossovers to stabilize the impedance load for amps.
