Cryogenically-treated AC duplexes from Oyaide

Product Questions & Purchasing

SETTING A NEW STANDARD

"Just finished installing my R1 into a duplex box that feeds a PS Audio P300
 via a PS Audio Plus power cord that drives my Audio Research Ref 2 preamp
 connected by an Acrolink power cord with 079 connections.
 
My immediate reaction was that there was a loss of bloom,
like switching to a excellent solid state preamp.
 As I spent more time listening to various discs and albums
it became very clear that I didn't lose anything but bloat.

 The system went deeper with a more natural presentation than I could have ever expected.
 The bass was everything you would hear in an actual venue,
voice was clear and allowed you to hear the forming of the syllables
as they left the performers lips and the highs extended forever with no digital glare.
 
I have never heard a piano sound so well captured or most anything else for that matter.
 
From a purely mechanical perspective the R1 clamps onto the power cord
 as good or better than any receptacle I have used.
 Thanks again."

"Hi Alan.  It's a MASSIVE upgrade!  Everything sounds more detailed AND more musical at the same time!
 Highs are more defined yet more relaxed, while the bass is 'fatter' and tighter. The sound stage has improved, as well.
  Thanks for the excellent service on this great purchase!"
Sincerely,
Dan in Vermont

The 20-amp rated R1 is the newest duplex offering from Oyaide, featuring Palladium plating over PLATINUM (all twice-polished, of course) over a  beryllium copper substrate.

With a touch more warmth and sweetness than the SWO-XXX, it retains all the nuance, subtlety, and fine detail, offering a new level of refinement that must be heard. A must for a high-performance front end, or for feeding one's entire system via a high-quality line conditioner. 

R1 (white body....20-amp rated)....featuring double-cryogenic treatment
& 6-day conditioning on the Cable Cooker....$185

"The SWO-GX had arrived today, and again, thank you for the prompt service and shipping. Even though it'll still be settling-in in the next few days, I must admit that it sounds quite wonderful, even at this point! In my particular system it has clearly outperformed the Levitons, Hubbles, or Wattgates.  Sonically, it appears to be a superb outlet and is definitely an asset to my quest for the highest-end audio performance."
Warmest regards, Chris

"There are a number of tweaks over the years that pleasantly surprised me regarding the degree of improvement of  sound quality, i.e. musical enjoyment, the top of the list being Symposium roller blocks under the transport. But the Oyaide has shot to the top of the list!  Depth of soundstage and inner detail greatly improved but most striking was an organic quality you described (maybe the increased perception of organic quality is a function of perceived soundstage depth and inner detail). Anyway, I find myself listening longer, which trumps any kind of mental gymnastics about sound."

The importance of high quality power supply connections is now widely accepted. Many enthusiasts install dedicated power lines for their hi fi systems and no longer question the importance of the quality of the receptacle fitted to the wall. Conventional "hospital grade" connectors can improve the strength of the mechanical connection, but they are far from ideal for realizing the best sound quality. Our objective was to develop receptacles whose sole purpose was to deliver the highest sound quality possible. Every part has been designed with this in mind. Extensive research into the effects of plating methods has yielded three equally valid but different types of sound for you to choose from. The entire series is non-magnetic to avoid any disturbance from magnetic fields.

Base Material
Highly (twice) polished deoxidized phosphor bronze for the most secure contact (20 amps).

24 Karat plated brass fittings for strength and durability.

Rhodium-over-silver (DX and 037):
vivid....immediate....a sense of increased detail....a closer musical perspective.

Direct gold (GX and 079):
luxurious....rich....soulful....an extraordinarily deep and wide soundstage....speakers disappear.

Palladium-over-gold (XXX and 046):
extraordinary clarity....increased nuance and subtlety....a deep and wide soundstage....a 'cooler' presentation than the direct gold.
