It's a bit ironic that the introduction of the Oyaide SWO-XXX was one of the most contentious AC outlets in the forums, since a number of end users at the time reported the SWO-XXX sounded too analytical, too bright, with a spotlighted treble energy, is now considered neutral if not musical sounding. I think an enormous amount of burn-in time that many folk's SWO-XXX have gone through might be a reason why the SWO-XXX is better accepted these days.
And I must agree, since I still use the original SWO-XXX in all three of my audio systems: An SWO-XXX installed at the wall for each of my second systems, and an SWO-XXX for my DAC installed in a PLC within my main audio system. Most interesting is how much more mellow the SWO-XXX actually sounds now after many years of use, with its midrange characteristic being more upfront to my ear these days rather than the spotlighted treble energy issue, IME.
