Oyaide Cables


Information on this cable brand was showing up in another thread, which is fine, but I figured this cable line deserves it's own thread.  I have very little experience with the brand so far as I have only had the Black Mamba V2 PC  in my system for about 200 plus hours and just installed the  TUNAMI GPX-R V2 PC last night.  I only need one PC for my system at this time as my Integrated amp has a DAC and my music streamer doesn't take after market PCs.    Firstly, the Black Mamba V2 PC is excellent.  I know audio is very system dependent, but in my system the BM V2 was the best PC I have had, it really made a noticeable difference.  It kind of gives you the  best of both words, good clarity and extension but at the same time the system is relaxed and natural sounding.  Very important if you have a lot of rock and pop and poorly produced material in your music collection.   The Tsunami GPX-R V2 PC improves upon the BM V2 in that the air and spacing is better, the stage is deeper and wider,  and the bass is still tight, but thicker.   I am thrilled with these PCs so I ordered the Tunami Nigo V2 speaker cables and those should be here soon.  I am very happen with the Western Electric 14 GA, but after hearing how good their PCs are, I just had to give the Oyaide SC a try.     Anyway, bottom line is I suspect it would be very hard to find a line of cables that sound this good at such affordable prices.  A Big thanks to Wig for letting me know about these PCs and Speaker cables and guiding me along.

It looks like the Tunami  V2 is a good bit different than the BM V2.

As far as the bulk cable goes, they both have the same type of wire (10 and 12 GA respectively), copper foil, drain wire, and outer jacket. That is about it.

The BM has spacer/damping rods and a paper tape layer.

The Tunami does not have the above.  It has an absorbing layer, and a carbon layer.

I have a finished Tunami GPX-R V2 on order.

Is the premade Terzo V2  XLR or RCA?   

Regardless of which type it is, do the silver/rhodium phospour bronze connectors mate with the copper to provide a balanced sound? Or are things a little forward or tipped up?

Thanks

Would you mind posting a link for the CF Rhodium connectors you are using?

I came across many CF Rhodium connectors in my searches (I'm sure there are 1 or 2 manufacturers, but several brands).

I have and use these on a BM V2:

I have not compared them to the Fufutech FI 50 (R)s.  I would have to take them off of another cable - too lazy.

I would be delighted to pay less than the $128 for the Sonarquest.

Thank you.
I have an extra 1.8 M Tunami  GPX-R V2 (Finished cable w/004 Connectors) if anyone is interested before I put it up for sale.

Thanks
