Oyaide TUNAMI II SP-B Speaker Cables – 1.5m PairSelling my Oyaide TUNAMI II SP-B speaker cables, 1.5m pair with factory banana terminations.Purchased new and used for approximately 12 months in my Hi-Fi system. They have been very well looked after and are in excellent condition.Fantastic J...
At A$180, this sits well below the A$215 25th percentile and materially under the A$290 median for recent Australian asking prices, so it reads as a strong deal rather than merely fair. For a well-made power cable with a solid hi-fi reputation, that’s a buyer-friendly entry point, especially if the photos and seller history are clean.
The appeal here is straightforward: these cables are bought for robust build quality and a polished, low-noise presentation in capable systems, not for flashy spec-sheet drama. At this price, the upside is getting a respected accessory without paying near-market, so the main check is simply condition and originality; if it’s tidy and complete, it looks like a worthwhile grab.
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.
