In Reply to: RE: Source or Power Amplifiers with Oyaide WPC-XXX? posted by adjieda on August 22, 2007 at 09:17:03
I would do the source outlet first as these would be the most sensitive to power upgrades.
Also keep in mind that if your source is "polluted" so to speak, U can't undo the pollution down stream. In other words, GIGO.

Kenster..
Will the slightly bright sound character calm down after further burn in? I have already ordered a second Wall Plate with both SWO-XXX and the SWO-GX to refine the presentation for my amps. Amazing tweak. I am making you my Guru :D
Thanks again for the help.
"Will the slightly bright sound character calm down after further burn in?"
Yes it will but I need to ask, did U buy the outlet Cryo'd and/or cooked?
A stock outlet will certainly sound/burn-in differently than one that has been cryo'd and/or cooked.
"I have already ordered a second Wall Plate with both SWO-XXX and the SWO-GX to refine the presentation for my amps."
Excellent choices and may I suggest U consider an R1 for your amps? The SWO-XXX/GX outlets are excellent, I still use them, but the R1 is a major step up, especially when implemented in high current applications.
The XXX and the GX outlets are more susceptible to system mismatching due to their different platings and additional care must be made when implementing them into ones system but with proper placement, can be a very synergistic match.

Kenster,Both WPC with SWO-XXXs are installed; plus an MTB-4 DX is added to the system. I wasn't quite sure what to expect out of the running in period. It has been 3 days, and the music has become more coherent, complete and full. Could the Oyaides be doing all this improvement? Who knows? It is hard to believe. And I still have the GX on standby. I can't imagine what the R1s would do to my system.
As a side note, I have quite a few equipments and cables sitting idle in storage because previously I thought it didn't provide enough improvement. Now all of these equipments does provide significant changes and add something significant to the mix. I believe adding Oyaide receptacles and power distribution to your system sounds like you have upgraded ALL your equipments, cables and tweaks.
I could live with this setup for awhile longer before I order the R1s. Thank you Kenster and all who have made this cost effective tweak known to all in AA.Cheers,

Thanks Kenster,
Mine are stock Oyaides.. I think. The Cryoed Oyaides aren't available around here. Unfortunately, the R1s are not in stock locally. I could order online, but the prices are better if I buy local.
I can't get over the fact at how much the Oyaides has made music more Clear and Clean. A definite gain in resolution IMHO. I would like a little more warmth, but I could tweak with tubes, isolation or cables. Then again, further burn in would probably be a better idea. I enjoy being able to notice the difference in this extreme hobby.
I'll keep an eye out for the R1s.
Thanks again for the tips.
Cheers,
adjieda
