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.

lak and others,

Which Oyaide power cable would you recommend for a DAC or a hybrid integrated amp? Are the Oyaide cables better than the CPT Super Stroke, Furutech SO22N and Cerious Tech GE, but not quite as good as Cerious Matrix and Furutech DPS -4? Trying to decide on some new power cables. I have a Silnote Poseidon ES Reference PC on my Sony SACD but when connected to this PC the cabl actually moves the player out of position.Does anybody have experience with the Silnote PC cable for comparison to others in terms of performance?

Thanks everybody in advance!

lak,

   Thank you so much for following up with the power cable comparison. Sorry to hear about the Deep Core issues you and others had. Get some new Blue Fuses out of it. I will order one of the SO22N PC's today from Mike Kay. Mike is a great guy and I have been to his house to listen to the Tekton DI SE's. I ordered one  a SO22N from him and then he ran out of stock on the connectors, I think. When he got them back in stock I had just lost my job. So now I think I will try an SO22N configured by him. I want to try one Matrix PC in the very near future but have to apply my dollars towards a new DAC. Probably purchasing the LKS dh ma004  next week and getting modded by Ric Schultz of EVS. I have also purchased a demo model of a new model IC from TEO called the Game Changer Ultra on its way to me and I will report back hopefully in a week or two on my impressions of it in the TEO thread. This is a notch or two above the Game Changer II I am being told.

lak,

Thanks so much for the review. I tried one of Audio Archon's SO22N cords and it seems pretty close to my SR Black UEF cord on my amp. Hard to swap them back and forth. I have been so shocked by the sound quality elevation after putting Tim Mrock's Total Contact enhancer on my Teo Ultra Interconnect, Silnote Anniversary Speaker Cables and my tube pins in my preamp side of my modded Bada Purer 3.3SE integrated amp that power cable changes seem pretty insignificant by comparison. I think I may try one of Cerious Matrix power cords on my source. Please try the TC enhancer in your system. Results are silly good after only a one week in my system except for tube pins...two weeks. Tremendous 3D effect on sound stage especially depth in my sysytem. Low level detail and ambience increased markedly. I hate to say making my system more analog like but now probably a mating of the better of both digital and analog qualities for my digital system. Already well worth the 300 clams. This stuff is really easy to apply to.
