Oyaide P004 and C004 plugs


Hi everybody hearing a sound difference in sound with furutech plugs which I did not like for too much of warmth I went in for new Oyaide P004 and C004 and terminated the power cable of the DAC but now the sound is hard and aggressive could anyone has experience with these plugs will they smooth out with time and how many hours of burn in

The furutech I used were the FI 28 gold the sound was open but the bass was loose and the overall sound was not having focus

I had the Furutech FI-25 G briefly and was not impressed.  I had several of IeGO plugs at that time, including their gold plug, and found the IeGO's all better, preferable, to the FI-25.  I did a lot of mixing with plugs, blending the sound of each to get a hybrid sound that sometimes worked quite well.  May I suggest you try one of the Furutech FI-28's and an Oyaide 004 on your power cord instead of both 004's?  That may take off the edge and remove the aggressiveness you're hearing while bettering the Furutech only sound of before.

@jasbirnandra - have you considered that the Furutech plugs you are using may not be the cause of your harshness?

We tend to attribute the changes to sound to the latest system/cable change we have made, but in the case of power plugs, it might just be attached cable or the Interconenct cables that are the cause of the harshness.

But first, as others have stated - allow sufficient break in time - at least 100 hours,

Personally I use SonarQuest silver plated copper connectors for everything

After 24 hours of use things are smoothing out and getting better and musical with more air, good high and tight bass.

+1 on the SonarQuest. I have used both the silver plated copper and pure copper.

Listen to Steve. The wiring/cabling is more important than the connectors...
