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


I know cables made with OCC (Ohno Continuous Cast) Copper are manufactured by a few cable makers, some super expensive (neotechcable.com/) and some moderate.  Some sell bulk cable.
I'm looking at some from Ramm Audio, http://aecoustics.com.

In theory, it seems they should be better sounding.  Anyone have any experience with these?

like akg_ca said, OCC is an indicator, but not the ultimate deciding factor on how well a cable sounds.  There are other considerations, such as type of metal (copper/silver), strand size and bundling versus solid core, geometry, shielding, terminations, etc.

That being said, OCC copper and ultra-high purity copper are generally much better sounding than normal manufactured copper, which can be OFC (or oxygen free copper).  The smoothing of wire metal surface also plays a factor in signal clarity.
