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!!!

Mr Bill, Chris Venhaus (www.vhaudio.com) and www.takefiveaudio.com sell bulk Oyaide cable.
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.
Looking at the price of Oyaide Tunami bulk wire and Oyaide C-046 plugs, it
seems the prefabricated Oyaide power cords (with C-046 plugs) are a better
value. About the same price (if not less) than the cost of DIY Oyaide cords.

Which model Oyaide plugs did you install?
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.
