Oyaide


I just replaced the plugs on my power cords with Oyaide. The difference in sound is startling. There is just so much more going on. The dynamics are oh so much more varied, and delicate. I don't get that distortion when I make it louder...it just easily gets louder. Great!!!

I have a bunch of different wire and a couple of power cords from Cardas and Audioquest..tried those
I had extension cords I made myself...3 conductor 12 guage, SJ 300 V. AIW-K SCA FT1. I used regular top grade plugs that was recommended to me from a large electrical supply house. I chopped the ends and installed the OYAIDE C-046, and P-046 on the ends.. Wow!! I suppose if I use that OYAIDE silver wire between them it would sound better, but I found that the wire has far less influence on the sound than do the plugs
Actually, I found Cardas power cords the very worst power cords I have ever heard. Yes I chopped the ends off of Purist, Audioquest, Cardas, and they all very much improved with the Oyaide plugs, and they all sounded pretty much alike. I like best the wire that I got from the electrical supply house. I may try the Oyaide wire. I believe that is 10 guage to the 12 guage I'm using, and has an additional ground/shield. As it happens my system is DEAD quiet with this wire.
TVAD...that may be so, however, I wouldn't have the fun of experimentation. I used C-046, and P=046. They are the most neutral.
Tvad...tell us how it goes..I just might use the bulk wire and put the plugs on that depending on your evaluation. Thanks Stan
