DIY- NeoTech at Parts Connexion

Interesting. I use their solid core OCC Teflon wire in my simple DIY speaker cables with good results.

However, I also tried Audio Sensibility OCC ICs and they were not as good as my center wire + /sheath - OFC ICs so not sure how these IC cables would compare. The flat configuration looks like it may work well. Termination might be difficult.

This own-brand speaker wire from VH Audio is fun to strip.

That's disgusting, and not for me. :-)

If you tried the Audio Sensibility copper mid/lower end interconnects, these use stranded copper conductors.  They aren't actually that good.  However, their top end Signature series uses solid-core pure silver and they are quite good for the money if you are looking for a silver interconnect cable.  It uses Furutech XLR terminations which have a heavy coating of gold and help compensate the silver to add a warmth to the sound.


But back to Erik's initial post, I find these new Neotech cables to be very interesting.  I have not worked with the Neotech rectangle conductors, but I agree with others that they would be a pain to terminate.  The performance could be quite excellent, but I've never tried them.
