well after some experimenting it seems the amp direct to the r-1 is the ticket. for what ever reason, the cord and conditioner do not work well with it and amazing that the outlet alone seems more natural. i am also getting almost inaudible hiss from the tweeter which was quite audible before, similar to what an above poster reported. this is getting interesting. that is a $2500 pc + $700 conditioner. i am losing some of the focus but it is sounding more open. i am impressed. i need to spend some time with it and do some more a/b but promising.
Oyaide, Hubble, FIM etc, any consensus on flavors?
I’ve decided now to replace my hospital grade outlets with some more upscale outlets.
I’ve found thru the archives so far, there are several models in the Oyaide line up, and perhaps some of the others too, like Watt Gate, FIM, Isoclean, etc.
Something tells me they don't all do the same things
If someone could give me some inkling as to what each Oyaide model’s electronic flavor is, it would be greatly appreciated. Are there 3 or 4 models now out from Oyaide?
… but then I don’t know for sure as to which outlet from which co will give which results.
All lines are dedicated 20A
Main 2ch rig is all tubes.
Any insight on the varied flavors of the Oyaide, Isoclean, Hubble, FIM etc, would be immensely appreciated…. For at this time they all look alike to me except for their prices of course.
Naturally, I'd be inclined to spend more for the 2ch tubed rig, than I probably would on the HT side... but then, who knows?
so far the only insight I have is on the 3 Oyaide units:
1 Silver/Rhodium � Pure, strong, solid, uncolored reproduction � providing a very extended sound field.
2 Direct Gold - bold, sweet, luxurious, dynamic and lucid character
3 Gold/Palladium � the character of Gold with an added vibrancy and a cooler, fresher feeling Oyaide
...which I took from a resellers web page.
your thoughts?
Many thanks as always.
