@yogiboy I plan to suspend the cables from the ceiling with "spider string," a special nylon made from free-range, baby spiders which nest near the famous Easter Island statues. Apparently, spider string provides 87.3% better isolation than cable risers, while keeping the floor clear. I need the floor uncluttered so that my specially equipped Roomba can roam the floor vacuuming up the dust which dampens lower register harmonics.
Your favorite OCC speaker cable
I've gotten good sound with my Analysis Plus Crystal Solo interconnects and may go for their speaker wire. But I like to wait for something used to come along, and it could be a long wait.
In the meantime, if there's a speaker wire with OCC that you've liked, I'd be curious to know what's worked for you.

Should we notify MC that his account has been hacked? Looks like one of the naysayers is trying to discredit him. Ive been reading about the occ tech for a while. There is much information to back up your SQ findings. Been wanting to try them, but they are further down my list of current priorities :) |
if looking to be the cheapest OOC barsteward in the given audio forum police line-up, do internet searches for: " Belkin Pure AV av53102-XX " (the xx part being the length) That is Belkin’s attempt to capture the AV audio cable market, back before the 2008 crash, when the engine of the economy was running amok. So everybody tried to get into everything. In this case, Belkin manufacturing quite a bit of OCC speaker cable. This came in rolls. 50 foot and 25 foot rolls, IIRC. 16g, multi strand and multi strand type (foil-ish and round wire)..pure OCC copper wire. I bought 20x 50 ft rolls at $14.95 each, back when it was widely being dumped in all kinds of places.... and still have 10 of them. Ah. here we go: https://angelelectronics.ca/shop/cables/speaker-wire?product_id=11163 or longer uncut runs of 100 ft rolls, for HT, or...whatever: https://www.officespecialties.com/belkin_av53102_100_pureav_silver_series_high_performance_speaker_w... keep looking. it’s out there. but not forever. |
Thanks for the suggestions. The Fidelium cables seem interesting. The language on the website doesn’t tell me much about their invented alloy, but I suppose hearing is believing. I know OCC has worked well for many people and the list of companies using is it impressive, too. The idea of finding it bulk seems like a good way to go, though I am not sure my DIY efforts would be as good as a cable I’d buy! |
