This is a buyer’s opportunity in the used power-cable market for Oyaide Ray’s looms, and the A$250 asking price is a fair deal that sits right at the median of recent AUD comparables (median A$250, 25th percentile A$169, 75th percentile A$463). You’re not getting a bargain below the 25th percentile, but you’re also not paying an ambitious price near or above the 75th percentile; this is solid, honest value for a well-regarded cable.
The Oyaide Ray’s loom using C-037/C-079 connectors is prized for its silver/rhodium-plated contacts and reference-grade build, delivering a cool, refreshing, wide-range sound that many recommend for tubed systems or setups that lean warm. The listing notes “Very Good” condition and includes the original Clipsal 1439 plug, which is a practical plus for Australian mains. With no reported issues and an MSRP around A$800, this is a clean, worthwhile upgrade at a fair price.

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.
