State-of-the-Art Power Connector Without Compromises
The Oyaide C-029 IEC is a high-quality power connector specifically designed for discerning audiophiles who refuse to compromise on sound quality and build quality. This connector is among the purest versions in the Oyaide product range and offers exceptionally stable current transfer. Thanks to the use of a single, solid piece of phosphor bronze for the internal conductors, the C-029 guarantees direct, high-power power delivery without transitions or contact loss. The connector is completely unplated, ensuring natural sound reproduction without coloration.
What makes this connector unique is the use of unplated brass (shell housing) and the extremely precise finishing. Unlike many standard IEC connectors, where multiple components are either joined together or plated with gold or rhodium, Oyaide deliberately opted for an unplated solution. This approach prevents unnecessary filtering or distortion of the music signal. The solid construction and excellent fit also ensure an optimal mechanical and electrical connection with power cords up to 10 mm in diameter.
The Oyaide C-029 is ideal for upgrading power cords in high-end audio components, such as amplifiers, DACs, or network players. Users experience an improved soundstage, tighter bass, and a more natural tonal balance. The combination of Japanese precision engineering, high-quality materials, and a pure signal path makes this IEC connector an excellent choice for those who want to get the most out of their hi-fi system. Highly recommended for anyone who takes sound quality seriously, down to the smallest detail.
