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.

I've come to the conclusion that on my CJ preamp I prefer the Black Mamba over the Tunami, the Black Mamba just sounds more natural to me and lacks nothing. I still need to try the Tunami on my amp.

As I mentioned before the Super Stroke for only ($99) is a heck of a good power cord that I would rate right up there with the Black Mamba, Furutech SO22N, and an oldie but goodie that I also took out of retirement and tried on the CJ preamp, my Electraglide Epiphany X.
Don't count out any of those older power cords, they might really surprise you!

I just got the speaker cables.  My were already terminated with their banana plugs.  I take it white is to red and black is to black?  Or white is positive and black negative.  That is how I am going to hook them up anyway. 

Lak, interesting you prefer the Black Mamba over the Tunami.  I need to swap the Black Mamba back in for a direct comparison against the Tunami.  I will probably wait a few days before doing that so I can burn in the speaker cables. 

I just swapped the Black Mamba in for the Tunami for two different tracks. I’m starting to wonder if I prefer the Black Mamba too. The Tunami has things so spread out, a very expansive stage and a lot of space around the instruments, but the Black Mamba is tighter, more focused, and a little more cohesive. They both sound great, it just comes down to preference. So I’m just not sure right now. That will be a battle for another day. For now I have to make jumpers and install the OYAIDE TUNAMI II SP-B V2 speaker cables.
kclone it doesn't matter how you hook the speaker cables up as long as you do it the same on both amp and speaker end. I hope you like your new speaker cables!
