Has anyone ever tried cables made with OCC (Ohno Continuous Cast) Copper?

OP - no brainer for me when I moved to all OCC solid core cabling.  I make all my cables and you can find OCC bulk cabling and low mass connectors (ETI/KLE, AECO, etc) at reasonable pricing from several places.  Partsconnexion and Venhaus being my two go to sources.  

I agree with others that there are so many different variations out there and you really need to build/listen/eval based on your system or systems.  Fun for us DIY'ers that like this sort of thing.

I've been experimenting with several different configs and found the "Helix" design with OCC copper has won out without question.  

For me, I'm not looking to change/color the sound as some cables claim to do.  I have always followed the adage of good conductors, good connectors (or no connectors) and secure connections get me where I want to be.

@pindac - I finally should have my AR Triple C XLRs built this week.  I'll post my impressions over on the DIY Helix thread...

@mbolek Thank You for informing me.

This one will be of real interest; I have others who were introduced to PC Triple C through me directly as a result of loaned Cables for Demonstration and also via me due to impressions made and shared from demonstrations given.

The reports are quite impressive from those who I do not know.

I or nobody else I am aware of has reverted back to a previous used Wire in a Cable.

As said one individual even cannibalized a Cable and used the PC Triple C Wire to produce Tonearm Wand Wires

As the XLR is in theory a Low Eddy Connection and the PC Triple C is a Cable that can really impress, I look very forward to the update on the Helix Thread.

When the Speaker Wire was used there was a need to burn in, which took about an hour, something happened, in that time and the A/B to the older cable in use was quite something, the Triple C superseded it without any reservation.

I am not familiar with a XLR Configuration, there might be a need to give it a Burn In Period as I had with the Speaker Cable.  

Interesting thing about cables- you wouldn't think they could make a difference, but they do. A substantial difference in some instances. YMMV.

@dougthebiker - OCC copper (or the various other variants along the same lines) make a significant difference over OFC copper - mainly in the area of dynamic performance.

Clarity, Details and Tonal Neutrality are closely tied to the cable geometry and the insulations used

• a good cable geometry will lower the noise floor in a cable
• an effective insulation also lowers the noise floor
• the result of these two aspects result in improved clarity and details that ultimately result in a more spacious and detailed image

If you want to understand more about these aspects take a look at this link

If you have any questions just ask

If you are not into DIY, then I would give a +1 to Zavfino products as posted above.

• they use OCC copper and OCC silver
• they employ and advance geometry and advanced insulations
• they have a range of products that are affordable

Happy to Help - Steve
