Well I have the Oyaide Tunami power cord set up as speaker cable. They replaced Morrow SP5's. They are still "cold" & there is the tinge (slight grain) in the treble that these cables have until about 100 hours (they gradually lose this). There is something about this wire that I absolutely love. There is a there, there. That wasn't much of a sentence, but maybe you know what I mean. Even when they are cold I have more depth, width, & detail than I had with the morrows. Don't get me wrong, the morrows are not bad at all but there is a purity to these wires that is fantastic in my system.
Toddverrone,
I really want to try the shield to see if it's an improvement in this application.
If they don't work out that way I'll use them as designed (imagine that) for power cords & buy the across 2000 speaker wire or one that williewonka recommended above.
williewonka, The thing I like about asking questions here is getting sincere recommendations from other audiophiles. Thank you for that.
