I'd include home theater duties in that better list; With less than 50hrs, i've found the S5's phenomenal in my 2 channel home theater. They take the biggest theatrical crashes and dynamic swings in their stride without the need for subs. Incredible! I agree with Toga however, if you get the very best out of them with your cables and upstream equipment & things like upgraded feet, they get very very close to the Q3's

I'm sorry everyone... But I keep thinking this thread is discussing Audi's... Ha!
Same model numbers but curious why you would compare an Audi Q3 to an Audi S5

It also seems anecdotally that US-spec 3 pin plugs sound better than AU-spec 3 pin plugs due to the physics of their design, though i'm not sure of the voracity of those claims. The FI-50M are comparable to the Oyaide M1 in build quality & are not cheap. I am a Sagitarian, so i'm more of a risk taker. You're taking a cautious approach, but still throwing the best hardware available at the problem. As a result, you should end up with terrific sound and a far more robust connection than your NZ-spec wpo. Given both options, would I still fit the non-compliant Oyaide hardware & keep using my stock Prime pc? Yes. However if I one day get married, move into a different house & set up a dedicated audio/visual room, i'd probably bite the bullet & opt for the Furutech hardware to keep it compliant |

I am mostly a lurker, perhaps that is why I am not allowed to start a thread. In any case, there appears to be a new Magico, perhaps a S3. Here is the photo. It is on Magico's home page.

Comparing Audis? In the Magico forum??

Yeah i'd agree with that. I think the real difference is likely to come from the synergy created from the metallurgy of the connector with the wpo. Here Furutech's Rhodium plating will yield a different sound to Oyaide which use beryllium copper/platinum/palladium. Which creates better synergy in your system is a matter of personal preference I think. In my system I prefer the Oyaide hardware.
