Thinking of getting above silver cable for DIY interconnect or speaker cable. Anyone can share your experiences with above cable? Which silver cable is better? Thanks.

I was going to uses this but was having hard time finding a RCA Connector to fit over the large OD...
I wanted to use four KLE Innovations Absolute Harmony RCA's...

If you are a fan of silver wire implemented for a *shielded* DIY line-level interconnect and/or digital cable build, the VH Audio Pulsar Ag 24 AWG solid core OCC silver coaxial cable sounds sweetly musical, with a slightly ethereal silver sonic signature that mates well with the KLE Pure or Absolute Harmony silver rca connector. In fact, the OD of the mini-coaxial design fits perfectly within the rubber grommet strain relief insert supplied for the KLE rca connector, so it's an easy cable to terminate with the KLE rca connector of your choice.
Other than a subjectively identifiable sonic signature of pure solid core silver wire, I find the Pulsar Ag presents a nominally neutral if not transparent sonic signature in terms of coloration due to dielectric absorption, since there is only a thin/low-mass layer of foamed/cellular FEP/Teflon positioned between the 24 AWG solid core pure silver center conductor and the shield/return, covered with a thin extruded FEP/Teflon jacket. Don't expect the comparatively rich sounding sonic signature of OCC copper, since that aspect can be found via the VH Audio Pulsar Cu II 24 AWG solid core OCC copper coaxial cable.

Actually, while the OD of the mini-coaxial design fits perfectly within the rubber grommet strain relief insert, a cable OD build-up material needs to be positioned within the strain relief insert in order for the two opposing set-screws to grip the cable, otherwise the small diameter cable won't be properly secured to the connector. Also, since the small diameter cable does not feature a thick outer jacket, any set-screw type strain relief system would damage the cable unless a thicker cable OD build-up material is implemented such as vinyl tubing, Teflon tape, or the use of short bits of thicker cable jacket material left over from other interconnect cable termination projects.
Duster, have you tried the VH V-Quad Cu or the V-Twist Cu?
I'm evaluating the new V-Twist at this time, and plan to post a report sometime down the road. It's clearly the best sounding copper interconnect cable I've tried, with no sonic downside, so it's a real keeper for use in my main audio system.
Great! I will look forward to reading it.
I am thinking of Neotech NEVD-2001 for digital cable for my DAC to Preamplifier.
