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.

@teo_audio - Can you share what Belkin means when they advertise "hybrid-conductor technology"? What is hybrid? Are there a mixture of OCC and OFC wires, a mix of stranded and solid core wire, is the wire tinned or silver plated, is the negative wire a different material or different size, or is "hybrid" something else altogether. Also, can you share whether the PE insulation is foamed or not? I could not find answers to these questions in their product literature. Thanks.
@fuzztone Analysis Plus wants 1000% more $$$ for AG balanced ICs than Dyson Audio asks. Hard to believe that they sound 10 X better. Looks like they are recouping funds for the patent.


Patent was paid long ago, and now it’s called profit. Home Audio cables is just one channel of the business along with products and services for NASA. Analysis Plus sells a lot to the pro audio industry. Famous musicians and particularly some well known guitar players prefer their cables.

Made in America, successful, profitable, creating jobs. Great designs and high quality materials, with quality of service  Survives and thrives. How it should be.




8ga. Wire amp to speakers!

   Barely fits in plugs!
amp to speaker run is about 1.5 feet.  Good wire. 
Years back, bought 20 feet 8ga wire.  Have a nice roll in drawer in case....




@mijostyn
Would you recommend  12TC, 8TC or 4TC for mids and tweeters in an active system where a 2A3 drives tweeters above 1600Hz, and another drives mids from 275 to 1600Hz?
12TC is advertised as being capable of high power delivery, but in my application it would be different.
Thank you!
“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!”

@hilde45,
DIY cables don’t make any more sense since there are wide range of professionally made OCC cables available at reasonable prices. When it’s all said and done, that ‘Belkin’ bulk cable won’t look better or offer discernible differences (if any) than a zip cord from Home Depot.

Don’t overlook the benefits of anti-static, anti-vibration and Litz construction offered by professionally made OCC cables. My two cents.
