Xangsane Cryo OCC vs Sterling Silver XLRs
Has anyone tried Xangsane's Cryo'd OCC interconnects? They are three solid core 27awg and one multi strand 31awg for a combined 22awg.
The 4n sterling silver is 20awg made up of 7 .50mm multi strand cores.https://www.xangsaneaudiocable.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=229&product_id=676&sort=p.price&order=DESC
I'm currently running Neotech NEI-3001 MKIIIs but my new mono's are coming in next week so I will need a new 5 meter interconnect. I was originally thinking about Neotech NEI-3001G since, I have noticed the sound difference in the NEI-3001 MKIII compared to the NEI-3002 MKIII.
Does anyone have any real world insight on Xangsane's sterling silver or OOC copper?
@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. |
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. |
@stillbuyingtoys Good to hear. I'm still on the fence on which cable to try next? Xang 9005 or the solid core Audiocrast IC102. I did pick up the Viborg silver XLRs. I've been partial to solid core designs based on all my success with DIY Helix's. https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256804894669065.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.main.15.6c9c79060d19hM&algo_pvid=3685282d-c281-41fc-ba76-e2d4a28209f9&algo_exp_id=3685282d-c281-41fc-ba76-e2d4a28209f9-14&pdp_ext_f=%7B%22order%22%3A%223%22%2C%22eval%22%3A%221%22%7D&pdp_npi=4%40dis%21USD%2125.00%2118.75%21%21%2125.00%2118.75%21%402101c72a17413712970783593e5749%2112000040919520411%21sea%21US%213449560310%21X&curPageLogUid=JLzC9him0Htu&utparam-url=scene%3Asearch%7Cquery_from%3A&_gl=1*1x0hwqf*_gcl_aw*R0NMLjE3NDEzNzEyODIuQ2owS0NRaUF6NnEtQmhDZkFSSXNBT2V6UHhudzcyNmJfMlN5MXgtRnNNcWU5UVFCZE5DRGwzb0pFQ0ctOWNnODZFZzlnby1zOC1tZXlONGFBdXQzRUFMd193Y0I.*_gcl_au*MzY3Mjc2MjM4LjE3NDEzNzEyODI.*_ga*MTI1NjA3OTAzNjEwNzA0Ny4xNzQxMzcxMjc5Njgy*_ga_VED1YSGNC7*MTc0MTM3MTI4Mi40LjEuMTc0MTM3MTI5OC40NC4wLjA. I'd be willing to bet that this is the same cable as my Veritas Argentum. I'm also going to re-terminate my Xang 5500s with the base Viborg copper/rhodium plugs. Don't think it will make much of a difference, but why not... |
