INTERCONNECTS (Oyaide Xindak Mogami)

THE FINEST BUDGET CABLES AVAILABLE TODAY

 

A GREAT DIY CABLE IDEA:

26ga. or 24ga. fine silver wire in thick-wall cotton tubing/insulation with Oyaide pure silver RCAs or Neutrik Silver plated XLRs.

This combination out performs cables up to $500 and goes up well against many cables above that as well. Many DIY'ers have purchase the silver wire and cotton from DIYAUDIOSTORE with very happy results.

Worth trying before you decide on spending any money on interconnects

OYAIDE PA-02
AU $35.00
per metre

The Oyaide PA-02 is a great cable that is better than a lot of other high end cables on the market. This cable has produced great results with XLR and RCA termination.

  • Great dynamics.
  • Incredible midrange detail.
  • Easy to put together.
  • Exceptional "made in Japan" craftmanship.

PCOCC-A

This is an ultra pure single crystal copper originally developed by Professor Ohno. It was then further evolved into PCOCC utilizing a single copper grain wire. This design results in an extremely low level of signal disturbance and loss factor due to the lack of crystalline borders in the signal path.

Oyaide has further evolved this technology with a highly controlled heating and cooling process and improved surface quality. It is now called PCOCC-A and it is the epitome of Japanese craftsmanship.

STRUCTURE / INSULATOR

The structure of PA-02 is that of a traditional balanced cable ( shielded and two insulated wires) . The impedance of the cable is 120 and can be used for both analogue and digital (AES/EBU) signal. The outer shield uses the same PCOCC-A as the conductors.

Foamed polypropylene was chosen as the insulator because of its low dielectric constants .

OUTER

The halogen-free sheath conforms to the RoHS directives. It enables pure signal transmission with high vibration attenuation characteristics.

The performance of PCOCC-A and the newly developed Halogen-free sheath is beyond many other entry model cables.

MOGAMI W2893
AU $4.25 per metre

For the last 3 years we have been searching for a cable under $5.00 that will perform like a cable at $50. WE FOUND IT!!! DIY audio Store now stocks the Mogami 2893 cable- At a great bargain price of $4.25 per metre this cable. Not as good as the Oyaide PA-02 but then again it doesn't cost $35 per metre.

 

  • Conductor insulation is XLPE (Cross-Linked Polyethylene) which has excellent electrical characteristics and prevents shrink-back during soldering.
  • Server (spiral) Bare Copper Shield is superior to foil or braided shields for sound qualityand simplifies termination.

Options for making a budget cable:
1 metre cable pair

2 metres x Mogami 2893 $8.50
4x Neutrik NYS RCAs $13.00
Total
$21.50

Put together a great but cheap cable that will compete well with many interconnects on the market today.
