Cable Asylum

For Oyaide experts: do you see anything funny?

On the left, a power cord that supposedly uses Oyaide P/C-079 plugs.

On the right, picture of Oyaide P/C-079 plugs from Oyaide web site.

If I'm off base, and there are different versions - by all means, please let me know.

No "different versions"....the connectors on the cable are NOT Oyaide. [nt] - alan m. kafton 12:40:53 01/21/15 (7)

  More disturbing is the guys effort to convince you they're real....asshole
- Just like I thought. For slight amusement, read their Audiogon ad: - carcass93 12:46:23 01/21/15 (5)
  "The Ref4 SP is the result of a special purchase of Oyaide P-079 and Oyaide C-079 power connectors. These are some of the highest quality A/C plugs on the planet. They generally retail per pair for what we are selling the complete cable. Without this special purchase, we would be selling these cables for well over $275. Take advantage of this purchase while you can. They will not last forever."
  
  Yeah right...

  - reading the ad: The wire is 99% pure copper. not 99.9% etc.. LOL - Nuit 15:12:33 01/24/15 (0)
    99% pure copper is really very poor quality copper. amazing.
  - New fake Oyaide AC connectors... - Duster 16:48:26 01/22/15 (2)
    I'll give the seller credit for offering a "special" version of the ubiquitous fake Oyaide AC connectors flooding the marketplace.
    
    Someone should report this clever sales shenanigan to Audiogon.

      In the last decade plus, I pretty much never follow audiogon.
      
      Went to the trouble of verifying the email & password I had registered with them to report this issue.
      
      If nobody else does, and the item(s) is/are not taken down - guess that will give me even less of a rat's backside to care what happens there.
      - I did too. N/T - carcass93 18:56:57 01/23/15 (0)

  - I love the bit about shipping down towards the bottom... - David S. 14:12:16 01/22/15 (0)
    Shipping method is stated as USPS. Shipping from Colorado Springs, CO.
    
    Way near the bottom, it states:
    
    "They will ONLY ship on Sundays. If this is a problem, please do not purchase."
    
    REALLY? Since when does the post office pick up on Sundays?
