My system was way too warm and I couldn't listen longer than half a track before I needed to unplug my system. I was on the floor on my knees ready to start tweaking but didn't want to, so I plugged it back in, but it sounded too warm again so I unplugged it again. So then I found a small tweak I could try, I had bought an Oyaide connector 2 weeks ago but didn't think it was important so I left it on my shelf. I was a huge skeptic and was using adapter connectors. Previously I was using a gold plated Wattgate (and a cryo treated Schuko adapter so I could plug my P300 Power Plant into Premier Power Plant).
So then I replaced the adapter and gold plated Wattgate with a silver plated Oyaide Schuko (Cryo treated by VH Audio) and now my system went from too warm into too bright. What is going on?
Now when I listen to my system, the Oyaide silver signature is what I'm hearing. Previously I was hearing the gold plated signature but I didn't realize it, wow, all those years the warmth problem in my system was the Wattgate connector??!!
Valhalla power cord + Oyaide silver is a great match for detail!
I didn't take any better picture because I didn't think it was worthy. Oyaide is inside that metal can on the right, you can see little pins sticking out.
The adapters in the plastic bags are cryo treated adapters, also from VH Audio, they didn't seem to add any coloration into my system. The signature of my system was the same when I daisy chained Valhalla cables with adapters.
Does gold plated Wattgate vs silver plated Oyaide really make a night and day difference? It's like listening to a completely new system!
