Oyaide WPC XXX & SWO XXX Power Receptacles Mains Power Socket/Outlet Selling a pair of Oyaide WPC XXX SWO XXX Power Receptacles. They are both in excellent cosmetic and working condition. There are many opinions and reviews on these so I suggest potential buyers do a Google. In my high Rez system they certainly made an improvement. These will be shipped from New Zealand where I live and I will use whatever freight method the buyer prefers. Although I am new to this website if any potential buyer was unsure about dealing with me I am sure I could put them in touch with a reputable bus
Oyaide’s WPC-XXX is a cult-favorite wallplate prized for its 13mm aluminum base and carbon-graphite face, delivering a clean, resonant power interface that high-end audiophiles trust. At A$399 for a pair in mint condition, this asking price sits well below the typical used range of A$450–A$550 and is a strong bargain, especially given the original-owner “as new” status and included mounting screws.
This is a worthwhile buy because the WPC-XXX pairs perfectly with SWO-XXX ULTIMO receptacles, offering superior mechanical stability and minimal electrical noise—key for sensitive audio gear. The carbon plate also resists oxidation and adds a subtle tonal clarity valued in high-fidelity setups. With no wear, full accessories, and a release date of 2006 still delivering today, this listing represents a genuine opportunity to secure a respected, aging-but-reliable component at an excellent price.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Oyaide Electric traces its roots to 1952, when founder Kazuji Oyaide (also referred to as Katsuji Oyaide) opened a modest electrical wires shop in Tokyo's Akihabara district. Initially focused on magnet wires and industrial cables, the company incorporated in 1971 and pivoted fully to specialty wires by the mid-1970s, abandoning home appliance sales amid Japan's economic boom. A pivotal shift came in the 1980s, spurred by audio critic Saburo Egawa's insights on wire quality, leading to Oyaide's first audio products like the OR-800 speaker cable and OCB-1 power distribution box.
Oyaide specializes in high-performance audio cables and accessories, including interconnects, speaker cables, power cords, distribution blocks, connectors, and turntable components. Under presidents Satoru Murayama from 2000 and later Naoko Murayama, the brand expanded through strategic partnerships with expert manufacturers, emphasizing oxygen-free copper litz structures and precision engineering—all made in Japan.
Renowned among audiophiles for meticulous craftsmanship and the "genuine Japanese spirit," Oyaide occupies a solid niche in the mid-tier to upper-mid market, offering reliable upgrades without extravagant pricing. Its products enjoy a cult following in Japan and abroad for enhancing system clarity and dynamics, positioning it as a go-to for discerning buyers seeking value-driven Japanese precision over luxury exotica.
