Cable manufacturers?


How many cable companies actually manufacture their own cable? 

Perhaps Mogami, Belden, Canare and a few others. I am willing to bet most cable companies do not manufacture their own cable, but simply buy cable, throw on some techflex or other custom jacketing, and do nice terminations. 

Anyone have any any actual Information?

Well, I didn't start this thread for any other point except curiosity. So I don't plan to do anything with this information. And in case anyone is wondering, I don't believe all cable sounds the same.  I do believe that there is some truly astonishing BS being peddled. And there are some excellent cables too. Personally, I am a fan of OCC cable.

@nonoise, Thank you for sharing the Cabledyne info. Have you tried their cables? I am inclined to try out their 'Virtuoso' RCA digital cable.

No, I haven't tried them but I was seriously considering them before I went for some Zu Audio Event speaker cables that were so nicely discounted that I couldn't resist. 😃

All the best,

@ hasmarto,


IIRC there are 6? places that make OCC using the hardware. I don't know how many are 'approved', in any case. My guess was and is an off the cuff guess on qualities, as I stopped investigating wire, when I stumbled into the understanding that conducting a simile of a plasma arc strike through the equivalent of a conductive heavy gas, was far more true to the signal. As the signal and conductor could be as they should, which is 'as one', in the dynamic flow domain, which is where impedance becomes a problem and consideration. The impedance issue remains a problem with solid wire and ceases to be as big of a problem in a conductive molecular-level fluid. In solid lattice structure it is a problem in the delta of the transient domain, which is critical to the ear. In a fluid conductor, a true fluid, this is where the problem area and issue --- least exists. Not as conductive as a lattice structure copper or silver... but the problem area that concerns the ear - is virtually gone. And a whole whack of other stuff going on....

On the subject of the wire...I'm referring to the "PC-OCC' as opposed to OCC, in case there is a difference in how it is labelled and sold, etc.Your response seems to be indicating there is possibly this difference, of OCC vs PC-OCC.
