Xangsane Cryo OCC vs Sterling Silver XLRs

I would love to do the same, and when I can swing it I will, but for a long time I have been using a biwire set of copper cables, an exotic brand from Australia whose name I can't recall. They were given to me as part of a purchase of a tube amp years ago that I ended up hating. They've beat out several others, but I'd feel confident buying the Xangsane.

I'm really glad that you have discovered how good their cables are and what an incredible value they are. I have no temptation to look for something better. From my limited experience, they have balanced performance across the spectrum whereas others I have tried are really good in one area and only average in others.

Correction. One of the things that I like best about the Xangsane RCA interconnects is that they specify that the terminations are solid copper with either gold or rhodium plating, unlike many American brands.

Yes, the "sterling silver" thing is something that they need to correct. It's frustrating, but apparently, it's a Chinese thing, because other vendors on the site make the same error. 

They are not at all thin or bright. They are smooth and well balanced with excellent bass and detail retrieval.

The cryo thing is apparently new for them, because I bought a set of RCA's pretty recently and I didn't see anything that was cryo'ed. I can say that i have been using their solid core silver interconnects for several years, and I think that they are the best overall that I have tried, and compared to American brands of the same quality, they're almost free!
