OCC and Litz wires - Furutech Alfa series, Neotech, Cardas


I would like to upgrade current loudspeaker cables which are OFC type (Van Damme 2 x 4 mm2 LC - OFC total definition directional loudspeaker cable)

aim Is neutral sound, fast tight bass

I would like to know your Impression recommendation about following OCC and litz wires

- Furutech Alfa series - using Alfa OCC copper

Alfa S14 (15 AWG / 2x1.4 mm2), Alfa S25 (13 AWG / 2x2.5 mm2), Alfa 36 (12 AWG / 2x3.3 mm)

does anyone know why Alfa 36 Is cheaper than Alfa S25

 

- Neotech STDCT 12 Hook Up wire - 12 AWG or 3.3 mm2 UP OCC PTFE

 

- Kabusa Spiral Voice speaker cable using Cardas 2 x 11.5 AWG ultra pure copper litz wire

thank you @audiophile1

I visited VH audio

do you have experience with hook up wire stuff particularly Unicrystal OCC wires with AirLok or CHeLa speaker cables

Does anyone tried Furutech Alpha 36 or S25 bulk wire. Please share experience.

Do you recommend one of these for rewire of speaker woofer section - aim Is to obtain tight and fast bass.

I use the Alpha 36 wire.

I purchased a 1m length from one of the distributors here in the States & then from China for 80% less & there is NO difference. I was using Monoprice 12/2 originally because of my longest run was 40'. When I connected the Alpha (bare wire) & compared the two, it was a winner by a mile. The clarity & authority the wire brought to my system was worth the trouble of snaking the wire to that channel (left). The right channel was a breeze, just through a wall.

I can't emphasize enough to the community from the day of install, what this wire did. Posted here on AG somewhere. If you're going to use banana plugs, I have had positive experience with Viborg copper plugs.

I ordered some Alpha 36 from Chris at VH Audio and it arrives today. I have some ETI Research banana and spade connectors I’ll be using. My current sc’s are some knock off Nordost cables that have served me well but I believe the Furutech wire will be a little cleaner sounding. We’ll see. I’ll chime back in once I have them up and running. 

I use Alpha  36 speaker cable and it is excellent. A word of warning, however. When new it sounds a little rough, strident and harsh. It takes a week or so of constant use before it starts to smooth out. So let it run in thoroughly before assessing it critically.
