Zavfino and Neotech OCC Interconnect


I am looking at some interconnects from these two companies, and was wondering if anybody had experience with both. Looking at the NEI-3001 from Neotech and the Arcadia from Zavfino. If anyone has experience with both of these cables, please chime in. I’m trying to find a cable that is not bright and more neutral sounding.

I have the Zavfino Statements & VH Audio Pulsar Ag Digital or Analog Interconnects for my turntable & phono stage. When I was in the market for cables I tried (compared) the 2 said above, plus the NEI-3001. The NEI's went back, they just didn't JIVE as the others did with my setup. YMMV

From what I've read it's a fine cable (3001). I don't think you'll be disappointed in any of the said above cable your interested in. 

Just make sure you buy with a 30 day trial period. Enjoy your search!

Zavfino Arcadia is an ok cable. Nothing to write home about. I would say it’s a little dull sounding. The Neotech is silver plated copper and sounds a bit more open. Between the two I’d say Neotech is a better choice but depends what connectors you have on it. Decent gold plated RCAs should be fine.

As an alternative, I would recommend Audience OHNO interconnects. I think they’re better balanced over all. 

@audphile1 Do you have a preference on OCC speaker cables? Was pretty set on the Arcadia or something from Kimber.

Ok so…I don’t have a preference for OCC cables. I’ve heard crappy OCC and great OFC and vice versa. I wouldn’t focus too much on that. To be honest, Zavfino Arcadia belongs to a category of crappy OCC cables. It’s cheap for a reason. 
Audience is much better. Go for the OHNO interconnects with matching speaker cables and Audience forte f3 power cords. Other cables I would recommend is Audioquest, Kimber, Cardas, Nordost, Acoustic Zen, DH Labs. Whatever’s in your budget on a used market would be the best value. TWL is another cable brand that  has good sounding cables at this price point. Again, OCC doesn’t mean the best sounding cables.
