Wall Receptacle Oyaide R0, Furutech GTX-G and SR Black UEF

Hi there been searching around for some good receptacles as I am about to do some reno work for a dedicated room and I have narrowed down to these 3 brands based on what I have read in the web and on the availability within my reach. 

I am thinking of getting one of them but problem is, it is not easy to do a comparison specifically to these 3 series and I have not read so far anyone doing a comparison for specifically the oyaide R0 receptacle which is an unplated version of R1. 

So I am asking here for some help if anyone have had the privilege trying them all in their setup? I have read the thread on this forum "SR red fuse" started by Oregonpapa touching on the SR blacks receptacle with David pritchard comments on it which is btw a very good and informative thread and I have ordered the SR black fuse for my amp based on their reviews and other members too who have pitched in too.

There lots of other kinds of receptacles around and I am aware there are some that do not believe with those uber expensive receptacles performing better than a hospital grade receptacle but then this hobby is full of surprises and voodoos that over the years have made me a believer.
 
A little detail on my setup I am using ARC's (ref150,ref 6 and cd 9) paired up with SF Guarneri EVO's. As for cables am using full loom Transparent Ultra MM2 hooked on to my QB8 which is using Frey 2 power cable to my wattgate wall receptacle.

Thank you nmmusicman for reminding outlet users to consider using the Oyaide WPC-Z (outlet mounting holder + carbon fiber face plate). The WPC-Z improves the sound by holding the outlet more securely in place and the carbon face plate helps improve the purity of the signal.

As a bonus the outlet also has a very professional - custom installation look.

After installing the Oyaide + the wall outlet of your choice, I hope the advanced audiophile will consider buying a Hagerman FryCorder.

This unit from Jim Hagerman plugs into wall outlet and then conditions the circuit's wiring all the way back to the utility company's transformer! Takes three days but you can listen to your music while it is working. Then remove the Frycorder from the circuit.

Michelzay :

Thanks for the link and your opinions on the GTX's. I was also thinking in the same line too pertaining to the rhodiums and tubes but the ARC's are not so "tubish" as other tube equipments are. Guess the only way to know is to get one and try it out.

Nmmusicman :

Thanks you for the wonderful description regarding the R0 and R1. My dealer has also mentioned me regarding using the oyaide receptacles with the WPC-Z wall plate. I was shocked to hear the price of this wall plate but the dealer was saying that it is worth the price to pair it up with either the R0,R1 and Ultimo xxx receptacles.
It is reassuring to hear you mention about the WPC-Z as i was initially thinking that the dealer was just trying push me to get those wall plates.

Keep them coming guys your feedback is giving  me better judgment on which to go for.

The Oyaide wall plates do occasionally come up for sale here at Audiogon as do the Wall outlets. 

If your source of equipment in Malaysia does not offer a return policy, an option is to buy used at Audiogon. That way the outlets are already partially broken in!

On Audio asylum there's a dealer selling a NIB Furutech GTX-D NCF (R) Duplex. This is the latest version. 
Check it out.

IME, the WPC-Z wall mount system is not just an accessory but an essential building block to allow the Oyaide, or other outlets, to perform to their maximum potential and worth every penny for the ROI delivered. 

An additional item I would like to mention is Oyaide is now offering an unplated version of the P004 male plug which should be a most synergistic match with the RO outlet.

As an aside, I just received an unplated P004 but have yet to press it into service. I'll report out when I have done so.
