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 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
When you state that you have heard larger benefits of changing plugs than in different wire, does this mean you have experimented with different power cord wire while using the same plugs during the experiment?
I have a bunch of different wire and a couple of power cords from Cardas and Audioquest..tried those

You used
these in their stock configuration, correct? In other words, you didn't replace
the
plugs on a Cardas cable with different plugs?

Just trying to understand how you concluded plugs make more difference
than
wire.

Is it based on the extension cord sounding better than the Cardas,
Audioquest,
etc. after you had installed the Oyaide plugs?

Wonder what would happen if one put Oyaide plugs on Cardas wire...

BTW, a local dealer is very enthusiastic about the Oyaide power cords. I use
Oyaide PA-02 wire for 30 foot balanced interconnects, and it is excellent
wire. You can find the various Oyaide wire, including the power cord wire, in
bulk from a few retailers.
