Wall Receptacle Oyaide R0, Furutech GTX-G and SR Black UEF

Hi there been searching around for some good receptacles as I am about to do some reno work for a dedicated room and I have narrowed down to these 3 brands based on what I have read in the web and on the availability within my reach. 

I am thinking of getting one of them but problem is, it is not easy to do a comparison specifically to these 3 series and I have not read so far anyone doing a comparison for specifically the oyaide R0 receptacle which is an unplated version of R1. 

So I am asking here for some help if anyone have had the privilege trying them all in their setup? I have read the thread on this forum "SR red fuse" started by Oregonpapa touching on the SR blacks receptacle with David pritchard comments on it which is btw a very good and informative thread and I have ordered the SR black fuse for my amp based on their reviews and other members too who have pitched in too.

There lots of other kinds of receptacles around and I am aware there are some that do not believe with those uber expensive receptacles performing better than a hospital grade receptacle but then this hobby is full of surprises and voodoos that over the years have made me a believer.
 
A little detail on my setup I am using ARC's (ref150,ref 6 and cd 9) paired up with SF Guarneri EVO's. As for cables am using full loom Transparent Ultra MM2 hooked on to my QB8 which is using Frey 2 power cable to my wattgate wall receptacle.

Hi guys thanks for the replies really appreciate it.  What I'm keen to know more is the character each of these receptacles and what are the changes and impact that it made in your system. So that I can have a better judgment on which should i go for.

Cost is always an issue here especially with the renovations that I'm doing. Im from Malaysia and US dollar is not cheap now even those hubbles and porter are expensive now which i have to order online since it is not available in my region. As for the furu and oyaide I have a distributor here and he has some old stocks before the currency hike. It is still expensive than the hubbles and porter but not significantly more now. So getting those furu, oyaide receptacles seems to be a wiser choice. As for the SR blacks that is very expensive as it was recently released but i decided to place them in as an option also since it has been getting good reviews.

Yes going for all 3 will solve the riddle but that's not how i would like to do it.  What David said on trying out every 6 months or so each of those receptacle is a good way but it will be much better if i can get an offhand info regarding these receptacles before my purchase.

Thanks for the link and your opinions on the GTX's. I was also thinking in the same line too pertaining to the rhodiums and tubes but the ARC's are not so "tubish" as other tube equipments are. Guess the only way to know is to get one and try it out.

Thanks you for the wonderful description regarding the R0 and R1. My dealer has also mentioned me regarding using the oyaide receptacles with the WPC-Z wall plate. I was shocked to hear the price of this wall plate but the dealer was saying that it is worth the price to pair it up with either the R0,R1 and Ultimo xxx receptacles.
It is reassuring to hear you mention about the WPC-Z as i was initially thinking that the dealer was just trying push me to get those wall plates.

Keep them coming guys your feedback is giving  me better judgment on which to go for.

Hi Macdude did you use the R0 with WPC receptacle wallplate ?

I am thinking of this getting this particular model (R0) along with the Furu gtx-d as some reviews that I have read shows the R1 seems to be slightly bright and dry sounding.

Macdude thanks keeping us updated with the R0 in place in your system. This is giving me more reasons to go for the R0 hopefully my dealer has some in stock..

Macdude how many hours in are you with the R0? Does it emphasise more on certain frequency range in your system or does it sound tonally balanced? I am always worried when any of this upgrades causes a tonal change.
