Oyaide outlets

I just recently have been reading about these outlets and decided to give one a try for my system.My question is are there any audiogoners out there that have tried the SWO-GX or the SWO-XXX and which did you prefer.My system is SET with horns and was wondering which outlet would be the better match.I would like to try and get this right the first time as i have never swapped out an outlet before.From what i am reading i will probably be happy with either of these but i was wondering if the lushness of the GX may suite my horns better or will the added detail of the XXX be more the ticket?Also is cryoing definitely the way to go with these.I have had success with other cryo'd PC's but was wondering if there can be to much of a good thing?That could be another thread altogther i guess-never mind ; \
Thanks for all input in advance!

Hi Guys, I'm rather late in joining this thread, but I was wondering how the Oyaide outlets stacked up against the Wattgate 381 and the Isoclean Ag wall socket ICP-003G-(Isoclean's newest outlet)? I have had both, the Wattgate 381 outlets and the Isoclean ICP-002J outlet, in my system for quite some time now. Thanks! Stan

Hi Monk, I didn't know that the Oyaide outlets couldn't take a 10 gauge wire. Thanks for the info. I'm running a dedicated subpanel with four 8' runs of 10 gauge Romex 10/2 from the subpanel to the wall outlets. I'll never use 12 gauge wire again either. The 10 gauge difference in my system was enormous. Dynamics, soundstage, clarity, bass response, and musicality all excelled beyond anything that I had experienced up to that point. The bigger gauge wire helps the system perform to it's potential. It's like the difference between a 66 Pontiac GTO and a Volkswagon beetle. Stan

Hi Alan, Thanks for the clarification. How do they compare to the Isoclean or Wattgate outlets? Stan

Hi Alan, That was eloquently stated. If I decide to try an Oyaide outlet, you get my vote. Sorry to put you on the spot. Best wishes. Cheers, Stan

Rhyno, From my experience, my Isoclean ICP-002J--(now replaced by the ICP-003) holds just slightly above average. I still had to add some upper holding support-(a string) to hold my Shunyata powercord in place. On the other hand, my Wattgate 381 outlets are so tight that some of the plating has come off off my powercord's blades and I've occasionally found some small metal shavings on the blades from unplugging and replugging the powercord over time.
