Hi Sal,
I`ve not directly compared the two cables and have only heard the HF CTI-U as a digital cable, I find it fabulous in my system. I have no reason to doubt the analog IC and speaker cables would be any different.It is very natural,dynamic,lively and has excellent resolution in my system. I`m glad I bought the digital cable,worth every penny I spent.
Ocellia is a small specialty company in Montreal(moved from France a few years ago). I just love this cable, it is sooo natural and is able to present a very live like vibe/character to music in my system.It`s strange to describe but it has a sense of ease and relaxed musical flow yet the dynamics and physical presence factor is quite apparent. You hear the nuance and subtle details but it`s the polar opposite of an analytical-clinical presentation,no hifi here,all natural/organic.
Sal given the make up of your system I`d have to believe that either of these two cables would be a superb choice.I doubt you`ll find the Ocellia for loan,they have a small presence in this country(a shame).The HF CT1 cables could be the better cable(they take some time to fully burn in) but I`m happy with the Ocellia loom,the sound is beautiful.
Charles,
