FAQs
Is OCC silver better than OCC copper?
OCC silver has even higher conductivity than OCC copper and provides exceptional resolution, air, and transient response, while retaining musicality when paired with the right system.
Will these cables work with my phono stage?
Yes — as long as your phono stage uses unbalanced RCA inputs/outputs, the Nublu RCA cables will work perfectly.
Are they flexible enough for tight spaces?
Yes — the shrunk-on silicone outer provides excellent flexibility without compromising durability or shielding.

Chris, your new Gothic Audio NUBLU OCC 5N CRYO Silver Balanced Cables sound GREAT! After a 24-hour break-in of continuous music playback, they offer subtle, but definitive Sonic Advantages over my prior WBC Pro-Star Quad balanced cables:
Larger and better Definition of the Holographic Soundstage Presentation, with more separation, air, body, and realism of vocals, harmonies, and instrumentation!
An Enhanced Clarity of vocals, lyrics, and melodies that for me, allows better understanding of diction and the vocalist feelings.
Improved Naturalness and greater ease/effortlessness of the musical listening experience (all genres).
Very Solid and Balanced Full Bandwidth frequency/phasing responses with fast transient attacks and very long decays.
Superb Fidelity of all musical excitement, tonality, timbre, transients, and PRaT.
Wider Range between micro and macro dynamic swings.
Overall, a solid step-up in “system-speakers-dedicated music room” Total Disappearance!
I am THERE, in the recorded venue, with the musician(s) and ambiance energies of the performance!!
With the Very Revealing/Accurate music system/set-up I have, could not see How it was possible to improve my home musical experience. Apparently, your well-engineered and well-made Silver CRYO Balanced Cables have Certainly Opened My Ears. These cables are not going back…definite Keepers!!!

Gothic Audio Nublu OCC 5N Cryo Silver XLR
Exceptional Clarity and Dimensionality with the Laiv Audio Micro DAC
I recently added the Gothic Audio Nublu OCC 5N Cryo Silver XLRs between my Laiv Audio Micro DAC and VTV Power Amp and the improvement was immediate. The presentation opened up with a much wider, deeper soundstage and pinpoint imaging. The Nublus let the Laiv’s natural transparency and resolution shine — instruments are now better separated, and the sense of air and space around them is remarkable.
Tonal balance is spot-on: highs are smooth and extended, mids have a lifelike presence, and the bass is clean, fast, and articulate. Noise floor dropped noticeably, giving everything a more effortless, analog-like flow.
The build quality is excellent, with sturdy connectors and a refined, flexible jacket. These cables easily compete with models at several times the price. Paired with the Laiv Micro DAC, they deliver an incredibly engaging, three-dimensional listening experience. Highly recommended for anyone chasing true transparency and soundstage realism.
