Hello,
I am interested in constructing a pair of silver Interconnects I have narrowed down the cable to be used as either the Neotech NEI-2002 or the Oyaide FTVS-910. I was wondering if any inmates have any experiences they could share with either of these cables.
Thanks,
Johnny

These are really good RCA Interconnect/Digital Construction Techniques :)
Johnny,
You are in luck. I have built dozens of the "Diy silver Interconect" using the DH Audio Teflon Tubing. The Neotech solid core Ultra pure Teflon coated wire that you are contemplating is in the top two of all of the wires used. It will make your system come ALIVE!
The other is unobtainabvle.
I don't know how you found this particular wire for this specific project, but you hit a gold mine.

I'm a big fan of silver digital/video cables, but I'm a copper line-level cables fan, so a silver line-level interconnect DIY project is not on my personal cable build radar. However, I'm attracted to an unusual bulk silver interconnect cable product via partsconnexion.com that's impressive as far as the design and materials are concerned, but there is little talk about how the cable actually sounds. IMO, it should be burned-in via a cable cooker, but not cryo'd since the wires are silver conductors. I would recommend that the DIY builder budget liberally towards premium audiophile rca connectors for the DIY silver interconnect cable project in order to better compete with the best commercial builds:
Connex BL-Ag "balanced" interconnect cable, 2 x 23 awg w/shield and drain wire (pure 99.99% solid-core silver, foamed teflon, tape-wrap dielectric). NOTE: Custom made for pcX(ConneX) by DH Labs, priced per foot: $14.95 USD
See link below:
The connex BL-Ag is now priced at $7.95 per foot at the partsconexxion.
I am a fan of this wire also, for a silver interconnect. I actually have a length I cannot use, 2.5M, terminated with Furutech rhodium rca plugs.
I think I noticed those cables for sale somewhere on the web. If so, there's a layer of added material that surrounds the cable except for several inches from the cable ends. Would you know anything about the function of that material?
It is Starsound microbearing material, which they created for resonance control, similar to the Virtual Dynamics' Dynamic Filtering and serves a similar damping purpose as the Purist Ferox material.
From the (former) Virtual Dynamics literature;
"The cornerstone on which Virtual Dynamics builds its cables is the belief that Coloumb friction, which is described as mechanical vibration due to the resistance in the flow of electrons, causes mechanical energy to develop in conductors. This, according to Virtual Dynamics, results in distortion. The company claims that its Dynamic Filtering damps vibration from the conductor by using specially designed spheres or particles as a mechanically based circuit."
It was my understanding that Virtual Dynamics may have actually used material from Starsound at some point. I believe later they used brass material.
