Oyaide Cables


What are your thoughts about this Oyaide cable company? I been using XLO signature series for many years and wanted to try this company IC and speaker cables. I read a few post that people are mentioning how good these cables are for real down to earth prices. I'm in search of some cables that are on the warmer and richer in tone.

My $0.02 worth - they don't have a consistent house sound, but rather have models that cater to different taste. Some can be quite bright, while some can be full and rich.

I only have experience with their ICs and power cords. But the Tunami Terzo or the AR / AZ 910 are detailed yet super duper smooth and grainless. Warm and rich power cord ? That would be the Tunami GPX-R V2.  

Since there is some interest in Oyaide, I'll share my thoughts on the various Oyaide cables I've tried. I'm in Singapore, and we have a local dealer that makes sourcing their cables easy.

Power Cords

PA23 - Thinner than the monstrous Tunami. Good highs but a bit lightweight sounding in the bass

Black Mamba V2 - Quite neutral and detailed. Super value for money. Not as heavy handed as the Tunami.

Tunami GPX - Warm tone. Very low noise floor and very powerful bass. Some may find the top-end a bit lacking 

Tunami GPX-V2 - Improvement over the original Tunami. This is more open sounding.


Interconnects

Tunami Terzo V2 - Detailed and super smooth and laidback.

AZ910 - Similar to the Terzo V2 but with more detail.


Digital Cable

DB/DR-510 - This is the FTVS-510 bulk 75 ohm pure silver core cable with Oyaide's BNC / RCA plug with pure silver center pins. These aren't bright sounding at all, but instead have a high detailed yet warm and full balance.
