I'm always surprised by those that fall for the OCC label. When the billet of copper is cast and drawn by the OCC method, the crystals may well be up to a metre long, but once further drawn down to a wire size suitable to make audio cables the crystal size will be considerably shorter. Furthermore, once the cable is rolled on a drum the crystal size is likely to be not much different to that of OFC, and anyway reflection at crystal boundaries only contribute about 14% to the overall resistivity.
But "you pays your money and you takes your choice".
