Your favorite OCC speaker cable

OCC is from my experience a much improved wire over OFC, and over the years I have exchanged from OFC to OCC in Copper and Silver on most IC's.
I use Mapleshade Speaker Cable and can't vouch if this is a OCC Wire.

In recent months I have commenced with trials on PC Triple C and D.U.C.C Wire.
At present the PC Triple C Wire is remaining in the positions I have used it, and when attached to other devices there is noticeable changes, that I am coming to terms with.
I need more PC Triple C cables to fully understand the overall benefits throughout the system.    

I am quite sold on the idea to keep on with the PC Triple C vs OCC Comparisons.
D.U.C.C is more difficult to source at a price that makes the initial investigations cost effective.
I have a D.U.C.C being returned to me this week it has been out on loan, and had a extended loan due to the COVID Restrictions on travel.
When this is returned I will reinstate a Dual Mono Volume Control Pre Amp' > Mono Block Power Amp's.
This set up will allow me to create the same trial conditions that produced the evidence that OFC was bettered by OCC in my system.
A Wire Type can be used as a Single Wire per channel and evaluated as a single channel.
The Channels can be closely balanced to see where the Centre is set.
With Different Wires in use there is rarely a equal setting on a VC Knob to produce a Centre Image.
The Wires can then be Matched Per Channel and assessed as a Single Channel only and then brought to a Stereo Setting with a Centre Image.
It don't take long to find a Cable that can offer a good impression using this method.
It will progress to be a exercise at all Interfaces with a IC Connection. 

To date the impressions being made are very good and in favour of
PC Triple C on my system.
The Tag Wires was an immediate Keeper experience.
The PC Triple C Power Chord has got me, I am keen to introduce this wire to all my devices.   
The recently introduced Din Plug PC Triple C Phono Cable in place of OCC Silver is immediate, the PC Triple C is a Keeper, the added dimension of perceived realism is very attractive.
The perception went from knowing a breath was being taken to visualising the Breath, from knowing there is a audience on a recording to perceiving the shape of the audience from the front to rear rows and into the stalls.

I like the idea that with the New PC Triple C Cables becoming available and the already owned OCC Cables a method might also be adopted where the different Wire is used at different interfaces allowing for a Tuning of the SQ to suit a preference.

The Stock of PC triple C in use and to be put into use, has now increased.
There is now a Head Shell Tag Wire, Din Plug Phono Cable with the same wire as the earth, Solid Core Speaker Cable,
20 AWG Stranded Wire, 18 AWG Stranded Wire Power Cable and a length of PC Triple C/EX Stranded Wire this one is costly.
 

As there has been a suggestion that DIY Cable 'might' be a consideration, even though the quality of the Termination might not match a professional Quality.
To produce a solder joint can be practiced on any cheapo wire with a cheap Solder.
It won't take long before the handling of the materials and reactions of the materials to heat are understood.
At this stage a clean looking even coated joint is not far away.

The chosen materials can be put on the work bench and once done have a continuity test with a multimetre.
Once that the Bleep is continuous the cables are good to use as are,
or  have a cosmetic finish used on the joint if wanted.

The Double Helix Thread on the Cables Section is sure to inspire.     

On Friday of this week a opportunity was taken to visit a friend now we can visit to anothers Home in the UK.
COVID restrictions on Travel are eased and well received.

During this Visit the Resident HiFi was on the agenda, as well as Cables.
Three Cables were put to use as Tonearm Phono Cables.

OCC is the resident Cable Wire, D.U.C.C Wireand PC Triple C Wire were to be compared to OCC and each other.

OCC was first in use and it was delivering the performance to the ususal very high standard.

The exchange to D.U.C.C was immediately noticeable, there was a clearer insight to the presentation.
The Vocal became noticeably separated and the space around certain instruments was present.
A richness was also perceived, which was a addition to the authority of the performance. 

The PC Triple C was the last up for the demonstration.
This was even more noticeable for the Clarity Perceived over the OCC.
There was a lift and lightness/finesse noticed to be present across the frequency range.
The off centre seat was also offering a insight into the performance with an added information, when not in the Centre Seat the performance did not appear to be at a loss.
The sound stage had taken on a new dimension.
Both the system owner and myself were of the opinion that the
PC Triple C has produced a delivery that is feeling much more real and honest when compared to OCC.
We were as a end discussion wondering how the combination of
PC Triple C and D.U.C.C would combine.
The thoughts were the Clarity of the two wires are very similar, the extra lift and dimension of the soundstage of PC Triple C, along with separation ability and rich tone offering from the D.U.C.C could be a wonderful marriage.
