I agree lak. I think you might have been the one who posted the ebay link for the connectors I now use and think they’re just as good as Furutech but for pennies and allows me to buy better quality wire cabling without shelling out a large amount of dough. I use them for both the BM v2 and s022n which total makes each cable costing around $100 for 1m length and the DPS-4 for about $400.
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.

@lak I’ve read enough of your posts over the years and I trust your ears, so I think it will be awhile before I try the Furutech plugs.;-) I hope a question about outlets will be on topic enough. I see you have the Furutech GTX-D (R) outlet. Would share your experience with it, please? I have a cryo’d Hubbel now and have been pleased with the results. TIA Cheers, Scott |
Guys, thanks for your kind words! I've tried a lot of AC outlets over the years and other than perhaps wanting to use a gold-plated outlet in order to create an effect I like the Furutech GTX-D Rhodium outlets. I do have a FURUTECH GTX-D NCF (R) outlet on order not going to see it until sometime in March and then I'll put it on my cable cooker for a long time :-) Curiosity got the best of me. I have not tried some of the newer outlets that recently came out, I'm tired or the merry go round and the 10 gauge wire that's always a challenge to work with. To my ears and my tastes the Furutech GTX-D Rhodium outlets just seem to do it all right. Deep bass, good mids and handles the natural presentation of the higher octaves and timbre as well. |
lak t_ramey Would you mind posting a link for the CF Rhodium connectors you are using? I came across many CF Rhodium connectors in my searches (I'm sure there are 1 or 2 manufacturers, but several brands). I have and use these on a BM V2: https://www.sonarquest.net/carbon-edition/rhodium-plated/sonarquest-carbon-fiber-series-rhodium-plat... I have not compared them to the Fufutech FI 50 (R)s. I would have to take them off of another cable - too lazy. I would be delighted to pay less than the $128 for the Sonarquest. Thank you. |
