RE: why not occ? just wondering. (nt)

I have used 2 different types of occ @ 16awg in my interconnect experiments against regular magnet wire. In the audio realm I felt that the gold plated wire was somewhat bright and unntural in the treble and bass shy compared to the regular magnet wire (rmw). Of course it was smoother and somewhat clearer but I couldn't live with it. Pure copper OCC won out over rmw, smooth, slightly clearer, very natural timbers in the treble and prefered over rmw, but still slightly leaner in the bass. So rmw wins in the bass. My thinking is that ofc might be the best compromise. I am up to 14AWG in my interconnect and will go for one more gauge, the 12AWG . The 14 went to a whole new realm of body and realism, at least in my headphone situation. The GPOCC is very good as a digital cable. Better than rmw and unplated. Yes , I'm not a skin effect believer. Not at these gauges for audio. Tweaker
