Re: As a system, Oyaide simply rocks.....

"In my home, i can't even get a normal outlet cover to fit securely though...the metal box that holds the wall outlet is set inside the wall quite far, over 1" in."

Sounds like U need some metalic standoffs to go between the metal box and the outlet. I've included a link to Keystone who has quite a big selection of standoffs in all different configurations.
Just to be on the safe side, I would also add a heavy gauge jumper from the metal box over to the outlet and attach it between the moun ting tab on the outlet and the standoff.

Heck, U might even get lucky and find some standoffs at Home Depot!!

With the Oyaide WPC-X, the outlet/CF piece mounts to the machined aluminum bracket and then the bracket mounts to the metal/plastic box.

"i'd bet that well designed components that have crappy stock male plugs benefit from aftermarket plugs more than crappy gear will benefit."

IME, the stock molded plastic AC plugs do more sonic damage than the stock wiring their connected with, thus my encouragement to just replace the male AC plug with an Oyaide or another cryo'd aftermarket AC plug :-)

Cheers,
