Of course, The M1 and F1 connectors are very well made and very nice sounding. I have sold many cords using them and was very pleased with them. As far as cost factor they are a fairly expensive at around $350 a set. Not nearly as expensive at the Acrolink which were excellent but at $850 a set, well enough said there. For those particular reasons I am using my current connectors wich sell at 1/10 the price of the Oyaide. So far I have yet to have any complaints from switching over and am extremely pleased with thier quality and performance.
