What speaker cable do you use?

Out of interest... What cables is that?

I don't know what the make of cable is just that they don't make it anymore. Bought it off Oli aka 'Bigbottle Audio'.

I think he had a whole spool of it, there's other sets of it out there besides mine.

Wasn't that his secret recipe when he was selling cables? I don't think he told anyone what it was.

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".

No 'falling for it' with me Barry. I have all OCC interconnects and OCC speaker cable and I have heard the improvement it makes, hence the outlay.

[QUOTE=The Black Adder;1380816]Hi all.

I'm looking for a short run of speaker cables. From 1.5m up to 2.5m

What do you guys use these days? I've been looking into Mogami which looks great.


I'm using Mogami and am very happy with it.

How do you know they are OCC? Are they directional?

What improvements have you heard? I'm genuinely interested.

[Mikeandvan]

there's no difference between any of them except the price

So do you use bell wire or mains flex?

Have you ever listened to QED Silver Anniversary?

Sold as OCC. The same cable used in a very expensive set but that had cryo and other treatment.
I don't believe in directionality, so have never swapped around.

The speaker cables were a pivotal moment. I borrowed a set and was impressed by the uplift in sound. There was a greater cohesion to the sound.
The bass was tighter, the whole sound was clearer and more in focus.

With following improvements to the system the sound has such amazing clarity.

It no longer says you like to sing round the piano at Christmas, so you've updated it a bit
