The Oyaide R-1 is one of those audio devices that require many hours of burn-in before it performs at its best. Judging the sonic signature of the R-1 right off the bat, right after a fresh installation job is like judging a high-performance audio cable without any burn-in time. I recommend concentrating on being patient rather than judging its sonic merit way too soon.

I was just posting what I noticed right off compared to the Hubbell 8300 when it was first installed. It was not as big improvement as the 8300 and that the soundstage had shrunk a little. That's not saying the R1 is not good, it's just maybe the R1 is not that a big improvement over 8300 compared to the 8300 over the stock outlet that it replaced.
I have been building cables and doing upgrades for a while so I know how things will take time. I even posted that. One week (7 Days) is good enough time to see if it works in my system or not.
I do have patience, like I said before I know this will take time. Even the other person that replied to my OP confirmed what I had said about the soundstage. This is why I asked how long does it usually take for the Oyaide R1 to break in. Different things have different break in periods.
I'm bummed to hear you didn't get the cover. I know the R-1 is more praised but I still like the purple SWO-XXX which costs a little less.

it was delivered to the wrong address and that person never brought it too me. Oh well, amazon did refund the money.
Yes I read that. I'm glad you got your money.

Hi Cougar,
New cables and AC outlets often sound closed-in or congested before ample burn-in time is completed. An open sounding soundstage presentation is what folks often seek, and the Oyaide R-1 helps provide a rock solid, open sounding soundstage after many hours of burn-in, IME. If it didn't, it would be unacceptable to my ear.
7 days = 168 hours. That will only provide the first stage of burn-in, but of course it's up to you decide to give it more time or not. Just trying to be of help, since folks might jump the gun and reject a device if it is not satisfactory from the get-go. You might experiment with your gold Furutech AC plug after the Oyaide R-1 settles into your system.
Cheers, Duster
sound like that and a little rolled off."New cables and AC outlets often sound closed-in or congested before ample burn-in time is completed."
So I am familiar with it. In the case of the 8300 the soundstage was wide right off the bat but was a lot warmer sounding until around 75-100 hours on it.

Ok, this is good to know.

Ah, now this is what I was after! Ok, Yes, since I'm not familiar with the materials (Beryllium and Paradium on Platinum) it uses so I don't know how long to break in so that's why I had ask. Now I have a good Idea how long now.
I will try the Furutech out on this. I have already made some Neotech cables (3002 MKIII and 3003 MKIII cables) with Rhodium AC plugs and IEC plugs. So I should be set there but won't hurt to try the Furutech ac plugs.
Thank You for the detailed info on the Oyaide R1. Too bad I don't have the WPC-z cover to try with it. :(
