Xangsane Cryo OCC vs Sterling Silver XLRs

@stillbuyingtoys I have not received the 5500. Can’t expect the next day shipments like Amazon...

I looked at the pricing again and it has doubled what it was back in Jan (maybe they play the discount game as does Amazon). I figured if I liked the cable out of the box, I would re-terminate with some potentially betters connectors. These will be a good comparison to my DIY Helix OCC builds.

Need to figure out which silver version (1105/9003) to try.   Probably end up getting both, never can have too many XLRs....

@stillbuyingtoys Just received the 5500s. Pretty impressive build quality and very nice packaging (similar to Viborg). Out of box sound is good. I’m not a burn in guy and would be happy adding these to my XLR stable.  Added a couple pics to my system folder.

Ok fellas, both the 5m and the 1m cables are in and they are amazing.  I'm into  initial responses of cables and components, and these XS-1105Ags totally wipe the floor against Neotech's copper range of interconnects that I own.

The clarity and transparency is unreal.  They were bright the first day but they settled down after 25 hours of listening.  I suspect they will hit there stride in 100 hours as Xangsane says they are good to go in 72.

For the money I do not see any competition in this price range.   I see why @roxy54 loves Xangsane's silver interconnects.

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.

@roxy54 What speaker cables are you using?  I'm tempted on looking at Xangsane's silver cables but I've always heard that go silver in your interconnects and copper in your speaker cables.

I don't want too much of a good thing as they say with an all silver cable loom.
