Oyaide Info
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.
1.0mm thick which allows great retentivity--more than 7kg.
Mounting Bracket
24 Karat plated brass fittings for strength and durability.
Body/Insulator
Glass filled Polybutylene Terephthalate for high rigidity and resonance control.
SWO-DX
Extra thick (1.5 micron) Silver base
plating with Rhodium plating (0.3 micron)
to finish. Surface is thoroughly (twice) polished
before each plating process.
SWO-GX Ultimo
Extra thick (2 micron) 24K direct Gold plating. Surface is thoroughly (twice) polished before each plating process.
SWO-XXX Ultimo
Extra thick (1.5 micron) 24K Gold plating with Palladium plating (0.3 micron) to finish. Surface is thoroughly (twice) polished before each plating process.
