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.

Thanks for sharing your experience with plugs. I just added (have about 50 hours on it) a power cable with Rhodium over copper and carbon fiber/stainless steel housing connectors from China. I have been very pleased with the results.

To satisfy my curiosity I would like to try connectors from Furutech someday. It's good to know you have had satisfying results from power cords using the more affordable plugs that are available.

Cheers,

I’ve read enough of your posts over the years and I trust your ears, so I think it will be awhile before I try the Furutech plugs.;-)

I hope a question about outlets will be on topic enough. I see you have the Furutech GTX-D (R) outlet. Would share your experience with it, please? I have a cryo’d Hubbel now and have been pleased with the results. TIA

Cheers,

The Sonarquest Rhodium/Carbon fiber plugs are what  my power cable is terminated with. Excellent build quality and sound.

Guys,

Thanks for for the comments on the Furutech GTX-D (R) ang GTX-D NCF (R). 

Pretty sure that will be the next thing I try. I'm trying to figure out if I should get the GTX frame and the NCF outlet cover too. If so I'll have to wait a bit for funds to be available.

Cheers,
