Has anyone compared Oyaide against FIM

Stehno,

Thanks! I just heard about FIM's yesterday and didn't know anything about them.

Right now I have one Oyaide outlet for my system, am having Alan Kafton upgrade my Power Wing XP with three more, and I'm having two power cords made with Oyaide connectors. I was hoping that I made the right move, not doing something and finding out that I didn't research it enough.

But Alan Kafton (The Cable Cooker), Robert Maicks (Star Sound Technologies), Michael Wolff (Michael Wolff Cables), Joe Cohen (Prana Wire), and so many others are raving about the Oyaides. So I thought that was a good path to travel.

Who's Robert Maicks? :)

Robert Maicks is the president of Star Sound Technologies( at least he was when I last talked to him a couple of years ago). I had a FIM outlet a while back and for my system it was a little too warm and slightly lacking in dynamics. I haven't tried the Oyaides yet, but I am currently happy with some Porter Ports.

I can confirm Stehno's experience. I just switched from the FIM to an cryoed Oyaide outlet from Alan. Definately an upgrade and a very noticable one at that. Money well spent.

Sherod, I actually know Robert fairly well. Since Krell man owns a number of Star Sound products, I thought it was funny for me to pose the question of "Who's Robert Maicks?"

Well, it seemed funny 7 months ago when I typed it on a whim.

Disc, my new cryo-treated Furutech outlets should arrive today or tomorrow.
