Power cord upgrade

get a power cord that has OCC single crystal wire in it, OCC single crystal wire is far superior to anything OFC on the market and any price, OFC is the cheapest wire made it has 500 crystal barriers per foot which are little fractures in the wire I can't believe companies like transparent charge $70,000 for that cheap crap.

I wouldn't go with either transparent or nordost, both those companies use the cheapest wire which is OFC which has 500 crystal barriers per foot with your little fractures in the wire that the signal has to jump across, if you really want to make a big improvement in your system get any power cords made with OCC single crystal wire and if you really want to take it even to the next level after that the rectangular OCC single crystal wire is even better than the round OCC single crystal wire.

And I'll keep writing how much better OCC single crystal is than OFC obviously you haven't done much research Let me educate you OFC wire has minimum 500 crystal barriers per foot that's little fractures in the wire that the signal has to jump across which causes all kinds of bad things like coldness hardness brightness edginess any one of those things or all of those things and when a company like transparent has the audacity to charge $70,000 for the cheapest crappy wire on the market that pisses me off, I don't like seeing people get ripped off by scam companies like that, OCC single crystal wire has been proven to be the best wire for audio for about 60 years now and the rectangular OCC single crystal wire is even better than the round OCC single crystal wire, but if some people like to get ripped off that's totally up to them I guess, and I even phoned Transparent and asked them why they're not using single crystal instead of cheap OFC wire and you know what the answer was to me which was full of crap? we tested all kinds of wire and we found OFC the best, well it's the cheapest so they can make more profit and just so you know your prices are way off 14 gauge Teflon coated stranded OCC is$9.50 a foot in Canada right now not much less than the US so it is definitely not cheap, but I've done the comparison myself I rewired my monitor audio gold G4 speakers with single crystal and I got a 15 to 20% improvement right across the board and now that I have the platinum 200 ll I'll be doing the same thing and replacing the silver plated OFC that's in there right now.

mclinnguy,

There's no such purity as 7N copper, the best purity for OCC single crystal copper is 6N, I think you're getting confused with the OCC silver that's 7N.

mclinnguy,

just like anything there's different levels of OCC designed wire It's not just the wire that matters it's everything else as well the design of the cable the materials used for insulation that's why audio sensibility is not that expensive It's the bottom end of OCC single crystal wire, only his speaker wire that uses the rectangular OCC is good enough to challenge the very expensive stuff, if you tried the Neotech Sahara or Amazon you wouldn't be going back to the cables you're using now. but they probably are out of your price range, the copper rectangular speaker wire starts at$4,000 US for 2 m and the silver wire starts at $9,000 US for 2 m.
