RE: So I got the Oyaide R1...

Cool, AudioDwebe.

I'm very pleased by reading your evaluation. Keep in mind the Oyaide R1 AC outlet takes quite awhile to burn-in, so you can expect gradual improvements.

A lowered-noise floor almost always results in the sweet-spot of the volume control being raised, with low-level hash, resonances, and harmonic glare often being reduced. This means the elusive blacker background has been achieved. More of the true signal will "pop", including soundstage boundaries and imaging after the AC outlet and power cords burn-in. Also listen for micro and macro dynamics to become more readily apparent. This is a key benefit a lowered noise floor due to a better-optimized AC delivery system. Enjoy!

Cheers, Duster
