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?

I'm glad more people are finding out about OCC single crystal wire, but now there's even a bigger game changer that's better then round OCC single crystal wire and that is rectangular OCC single crystal wire much better performance than the round very noticeably better there's only one company that makes it, Neotech, the two reference cables that they make are the Amazon which is the silver OCC rectangular wire and the Sahara which is the copper OCC rectangular wire, I like the Sahara interconnects better than the Amazon because they use both copper and silver as opposed to just all silver in the Amazon and I can tell you they bettered my Harmonic technology pro nine SE speaker wires and my Harmonic technology magic ll interconnects, I could hear deeper into the sound stage it was blacker everything was better not cheap though but well worth it, check them out.

pindac,

and just for your information the ducc conductor is not as good as single Crystal OCC it's one or two steps below still very good wire but OCC single crystal is still the best conductor for audio.

pindac,

neotech still uses the original OCC process to make single crystal wire they were one of the three original companies to get the licensing, they are now producing something even better and that's rectangular OCC single crystal wire which is superior to the round OCC, the reference line consists of the Amazon which is their silver rectangular OCC wire and the Sahara which is their copper rectangular silver wire I've got the Sahara speaker wire and interconnects and I can tell you it was much better than my Harmonic technology top of the line interconnects and speaker wire using round o c c. not cheap but well worth it these cables will definitely go up against $18,000 wire and beat them.

Willywonka,

I have to say you're very knowledgeable, OCC is the best conductor but if you have bad geometry it's not going to make a lot of difference so all those things go together and there is something even better now that Neotech is producing and that is rectangular OCC single crystal wire far superior to round OCC check out their website their reference line is the Amazon which is their rectangular silver OCC wire and the Sahara which is their rectangular copper OCC wire, I have the Sahara interconnects and their speaker wire bi-wired and it is much better than the Harmonic Tech pro 9 SE speaker wire and my harmonic Tech magic by ll interconnects I can hear stuff way into the background that I couldn't hear before the background is much blacker and quieter and everything is more open and three dimensional not cheap but well worth it.
