Ocellia Silver Reference Interconnects


I am interested in trying a one meter pair of these interconnects. Is there anyone in the New York City area that might let me borrow for a few days or even just an afternoon or someone who is not using them and interested in possibly selling? I am currently trying Kondo KSL-LP with the option to buy and have read that many who compare the Ocellia to the Kondo prefer Ocellia. Thanks Jet.

Hi Nonoise,
For clarification I haven't used or heard the Belden or the Western Electric
NOS cables. Various people on this site seem to be very impressed with
them however. I truly adore the Ocellia but there are so many cable brands
available that I'll never hear them all. I'm happy with my current sound.
Charles,
Sal,
That's an impressive list of ICs you have owned. IMO The best attribute that stands out regarding the Ocellia is its pure natural sound. Relative to it, most other cables sound more toward a "hifi" sound. Ocellia just seems to get out of the way. Natural is the highest compliment I can give to an audio product.
Hi Jet,
Yes, I understand your situation. Both brands do share a reputation for similar qualities/character. I had seriously considered the Japanese Kondo silver cables. I found a thread on this site where a former dealer of both brands said he and several customers preferred the Ocellia. Given that and the Kondo's higher cost I just went with Ocellia Silver Reference. No doubt that different ears/taste and system configuration may lead to one over the other. Likely can't go wrong with either of them.
