Oyaide INS-SQ Smoky Quartz Insulators

Oyaide's blockbuster product "INS series" is centred on the multi-base insulator "INS-BS", and so far "INS-CF" made of hybrid carbon fibre and "INS-SP" made of high-rigidity stainless steel ( We have released "INS-US" (concave type) and "INS-US" (convex type), and succeeded in greatly expanding the possibilities of insulators by freely combining these.

The "insulator with fun to combine" has been widely accepted by audiophiles, and since its release, the series has recorded a total of over 20,000 sets and amazing sales *. It has gained an immovable position as an indispensable accessory for the suspension that supports audio equipment.We sought further possibilities for these "INS series" and focused on the physical characteristics of the materials of natural stone. The physical characteristics of the material are the most important tuning points in audio, which is a design concept common to Oyaide Electric's insulators.

After examining the physical characteristics of 70 types of natural stones and repeating listening, we found outstanding performance and individuality in black diamonds and smoky quartz. * From June 2009 to February 2013INS-BD is a natural stone insulator made by cutting black diamond (hematite) with high precision, and has a beautiful luster of metallic black. Its physical properties are a trigonal crystal structure consisting of Mohs hardness 6, specific gravity 5, and Fe2O3, and it has both high-strength and high-density physical properties. The tone is clear and straight.Although it is full of strong core power, it does not make you feel peaks or dips. It is a monitor-like gem suitable for highly faithful reproduction.
