Oyaide
A New Standard of Excellence


The quality and choice of plating materials alters the sound dramatically. Where the Silver/ Rhodium sounds pure and bold, the Gold sounds warm, spacious and luxurious and Gold / Palladium is pure, vivid and extended. Any one of the three is far above standard "audiophile" grade connectors. It's up to you to choose which suits your taste and system most.

Receptacles and Blades

The basic material employed is deoxidized Phosphor Bronze (1.4mm thick) for strength and secure contact. When connected they
can sustain a load greater than 7 kg. The surface is thoroughly polished (twice).

Pull strength of the blade terminals and cable combined is over 30 kg. We achieved this specification as a result of our ongoing commitment to safety.
