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.

And the Oyaide website warns about counterfeit products. How does one guard against that issue?
@kclone (or others), is there a preferred site to order these cables from?
Anyone have experience with cooking the Oyaide PC’s with products like the audiodharma cable cooker? Thoughts?

About 10 days ago (2-15-2018), I recall you both describing using a set of copper-rhodium plated plug carbon fiber connector from an ebay vendor for use as connectors for power cables. I seem to recall that t_ramey used Oyaide BM V2 wire with his connectors. What wire did you use for your cables, lak?
@t_ramey take five audio has a tutorial on mating connectors to Oyaide raw wire, where they teach connecting the screen and ground together on only the wall plug connector (and cutting off the shield wire from the IEC plug). I think this is consistent with what lac and others reported you.

I own several Oyaide Tunami GPX-R v2 power cables. Love them.

FYI, CPT is out of business.
