OCC in Silver or Copper Wire is no longer in use in my System and is as a result of my introducing others to alternative wire type, the OCC has been removed from other systems that I have loaned the alternative wire type to as well.
OCC in comparison to PC Triple C is sounding veiled and smeared, the smearing detected is quite similar to comparing OCC to the purest OFC .
PC Triple C is now the selected wire used by myself, others I know and a selection of the Big Name Cable producers.
These Brands have certainly done deals to keep competitors from getting into their suppliers and reducing the commodity of wire available.
The price of PC Triple C / EX Wire is through the roof to a few years past, cables produced from this are now substantially priced.
My experiences through usage of PC Triple C wire, assists with my fully understanding why there has been a move by the big name brands to secure their stock, ensuring it is not freely available. In relation to the sound that can be produced only, why would one want a competitor to get in on the act.
I also have first hand experiences of D.U.C.C Wire and this is a superb option, it has all the lucidity of Triple C, but comes with a tiniest perception of their being a Tonal Frequency that can be suggested as a being hue of added colour.
I find it hard to prejudice one against the other, and am more than content using these in conjunction in a signal path as well.
