It's funny that there are so many 'uber' cables out there that are based on copper. Yet the Oyaide 910 series are pure silver. Silver is better because it is a better conductor and because it will not degrade through oxidization as does copper. I have the AZ-910 interconnects. In the three level scale: 1. Cheap - 2. Expensive - 3. Silly. it comes in at 2. Expensive. I have several other Oyaide silver based interconnects and a couple of copper ones as well. Basically you get what you pay for. I have for example the Across and Tunami copper based interconnects. They are cheap and more than competent. They are a no nonsense brand.
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.
