Oyaide outlets


I just recently have been reading about these outlets and decided to give one a try for my system.My question is are there any audiogoners out there that have tried the SWO-GX or the SWO-XXX and which did you prefer.My system is SET with horns and was wondering which outlet would be the better match.I would like to try and get this right the first time as i have never swapped out an outlet before.From what i am reading i will probably be happy with either of these but i was wondering if the lushness of the GX may suite my horns better or will the added detail of the XXX be more the ticket?Also is cryoing definitely the way to go with these.I have had success with other cryo'd PC's but was wondering if there can be to much of a good thing?That could be another thread altogther i guess-never mind ; \
Thanks for all input in advance!

They are effective and pretty much live up to the hype - I got all but the silver and they all have their merits. I'd try one of each and sell/return the one(s) that don't work out for you. What I found was certain components worked better with certain outlets and the only way I could find which I preferred was to listen. The characterization is pretty accurate from the way they're described on the website, so if you can't try them you probably know which balance is best for your setup.

FWIW I got the double cryoed from Alan Kafton and I have been told it makes a significant improvement, but haven't been able to compare to the non cryoed.

BTW, I'd do this as a last step to voicing your system once you're pretty well done with all else, i.e. cables, interconnect, conditioning, etc.
