Xangsane Cryo OCC vs Sterling Silver XLRs

Has anyone tried Xangsane's Cryo'd OCC interconnects?  They are three solid core 27awg and one multi strand 31awg for a combined 22awg.

The 4n sterling silver is 20awg made up of 7 .50mm multi strand cores.https://www.xangsaneaudiocable.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=229&product_id=676&sort=p.price&order=DESC

I'm currently running Neotech NEI-3001 MKIIIs but my new mono's are coming in next week so I will need a new 5 meter interconnect.  I was originally thinking about Neotech NEI-3001G since, I have noticed the sound difference in the NEI-3001 MKIII compared to the NEI-3002 MKIII.

Does anyone have any real world insight on Xangsane's sterling silver or OOC copper?

Thanks for the insight.  I'll pull the trigger tomorrow when they price out the 5m order.

I’d be very interested in your impressions when you get them in and burned in for a bit.

I’m following this too.  I used 12 gauge silver plated copper speaker cables for years.  No ends just the cable and it really did brighten up a very dull sounding system.

I am a fan of OCC cables, but I am a bit suspicious of any OCC copper claims on AliExpress. I am also starting to lean away from any silver plated copper, I think that is where the brightness comes. Pure silver is less of a problem, or not a problem at all.

This forum is full of warnings regarding AliExpress offerings. 

I hope you are not the next victim of an AliExpress scam, bait & switch or simply false ad (the real product looks, but is not constructed as advertised.) 

Demo is the only truly safe option, as always.
