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.
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.

@audphile1 Thanks for the great info. I had just started looking into the Audience OHNO III speaker cable after you mentioned the interconnect.That is pretty much at the top of my price point but has my attention for sure. Kimber, Cardas and DHlabs would be options for sure. Do you have a goto line from each of those companies or is the Audience the best value out of the four? |
Kimber 4tc and 8tc are very well regarded. Cardas I have only tried higher end. 99.9999%-pure Zero Crystal copper. |
I agree with @audphile1 and I had the Arcadia in a system for a while but only on my analog side, worked well but did upgrade to Fusion XLR and DH Labs Air Matrix Cryo. Huge difference over the Arcadia. Have Zavfino Prima speaker cables, and a mish mosh of power cables from LessLoss, RSX Tech and Zavfino. Works for me. |
@audphile1 What would be warmer the AZ or the Ohno III speaker cable? |
