I agree with Talon4, Gold outlets tend to work with most equipment better. I had the Oyaide swo-xxx and the R1 in my system and tryed to burn each one in for over 2 months running them through a large Air purification unit when not listening to my equipment, but everytime I sat down for a listen I lost that warmth and gained a bright and brittle sound. I ended up with the Oyaide SWO-GX which gave me the body and detail back and lost that hard brittle sound. I had the SWO-GX in my system for a year and could not be happier. I find outlets make a big difference. The only conclusion I can make is if you have a bold and very warm system the R1s will most likely work for you.
Oyaide R1 Burn In Time
All,
We I thought I would round out my system so....
I just purchased two R1's. One for my McIntosh MC402 amp and one for my McIntosh C200 and Marantz SA-7S1. Neither of the above would be considered bright sounding.
My speakers Dynaudio Confidence 5's
Power Cords are the Lessloss with the Oyaide C079 connectors.
My system nows sounds bright, thin, lack of mid-bass or warmth. What I am hearing is it burn-in issue or what this outlet sounds like.
It sounds really thin, evening playing tube recordings from the 50's. No soul left to the system.
Thanks for you input!
