Our Story

OC Designs-the team and the legacy：

At OC Designs, we are musicians first, audiophiles second and business takes the last place. In our pursuit pursuit for the deepest connection with music (outside of our career as musicians), a chance meeting with the founder of a now silent brand(the founder could no longer continue due to pain from a relapse of severe spinal injuries). As fellow musicians and audio enthusiasts, we were fortunate to be gifted the original blueprints for his best products, the Milstein series of power cords and interconnects.

Plugging in just one power cord into the system that was used to evaluate it revealed a level of engagement with the music, not to mention the level of transparency that exceeded everything we had encountered; it shattered everything we understood of audiophile equipment. Inserting extra cables from the Milstein series gave us more of the same; the whole more than the sum of its parts. It convinced us we had to continue this series and legacy, thus the birth of OC Designs.

We were curious, can this be improved upon? Not that it needed any.

After some years of experimenting and extensive critical listening sessions and over a selection of ultra high-end setups, we have succeeded and are now proud to unveil The Milstein-a combination of uncompromising design and a single-minded pursuit for sonic truth.

Available in 3 tiers, it starts with the Milstein from the original blueprint: Milstein-The formative years. 2nd tier Milstein-The master and the reference tier, Milstein-True mastery. With any of these.....,we hope and intend it to be the last cables one will ever need; no more aimlessly searching for the missing link.

Past Reviews

"the two cables, especially together, turn "music" into a "musical spectacle", if you decide you like them it's going to be a long-term relationship"

"the entry-level and Milstein go in the direction set by two best cables I know, i.e. Harmonix X-DC Studio Master Million Maestro and Siltec Triple Crown with a "certain golden inner glow”

"they presented music in an interesting way – and even analyzing its sonics I wasn’t breaking it into details but rather taking it as a whole- It's about richness, tangibility and great tone differentiation"

"The interconnect is much more conspicuous. I can easily see it in systems with tube amps or where additional energy is needed, something to “help up” the system from its knees. The presentation is very energetic, with “oomph,” and treble slightly stronger than with the Acrolink"

"It is an artist’s cable made for other artists, audio artists that is"

The clarity and depth these cables bring to my system is unmatched. Every note feels alive.
