Anyone tried using Oyaide R 1 with Ribbon speakers

Would it be too much of a good thing?(like too much detail).Shunyata Hydra 8,Purist AA power cords, Wadia digital, Purist AA cables driven by Audio Research VT 200 in a well damped room. Or should I go with something like a different Oyaide outlet or maybe an Fim 880? Thanks for your help.

This may not be all that helpful, I've tried both and liked both (Fim 880(G)* & Oyaide R1). I don't think you can go wrong with either one. Currently have 2 of each in my system.
PS: R1 may have an edge in build quality but costs more as well.
*880 comes in several versions, (G) is gold plated version.

I had 4 R1s in my system and replaced 2 with Fim880(G)s. For me it provided a nice balance.
Obviously, these things differ for each application and personal taste. Whatever works!
