Over the past 9 months I have compared Zenwave SMSG, Acoustic Zen Absolute Copper, Thales, Cerious Technology CTE and Deulund DCA 16Ga speaker cables and can honestly say the Deulund bare wire configuration took the prize…
When I discovered Oyaide BM V2 PC a few months ago and I was so impressed with the sound quality that I just had to take a chance on their IC/SC and again it was a very good find. I did compare the Deulunds head-on-head with the Oyaide Tunami Nigor V2 and in my system, NO Comparison…
I found the Oyaide to be much more refined sounding with better sound-staging (precision) imaging, depth, bass and transparency, in fact, the Deulunds sounded splashy in comparison and you will hear much more information with more speed and impact. The Deulunds are very airy sounding and I’m guessing that aspect is obscuring and masking low level detail; couldn’t believe what I was hearing and this was obvious from the start.
My Oyaide 2.5M were around 440 from an authorized dealer in Japan and I’m very happy with their SQ.
