Neotech UPOCC Silver Interconnects vs AZen


Has anyone had a chance to A-B Acoustic Zen Silver Ref 2 interconnects vs Neotech?

The latest offering from Neotech uses UPOCC Silver 7N. There are 2 versions NEI-1001 and NEI-1002. They also have a line one down which uses single crystal silver 5N. Has anyone tried any of these products

From a conversation I had with Robert Lee of AZen this is correct. Although he held out the claim he keeeps some of the shielding desin and conductor geometry his own proprietary trade knowledge. He did not however deny the relationship or the fact he sources from Neotech. They are also the OEM manufacturer for Harmonic Tech, Audience, and probably quite a few others. In fact, anyone who claims to use 7N OCC single crytal copper or silver in their cables may be at least using their conductors. I am presently breaking in a pair of last-gen NA-13192 and NA-12165 silver Ic's. These two cables are predecessors to the current NA-1001 and NA-1002 ic's respectively. Great workmanship. The NA-13192 uses locking Rhodium over 7N OCC copper rca's. The NA-1002 uses locking rca's which have an uncanny resemblence to the brushed alum rca's AZen uses on their Reference 2 ic. They sound fantastic. For the cost, there's no comparison.

I have no affiliation other than to say I have purchased several Neotech products from Mike. They are an incredible value.
