Oyaide R1 Burn In Time


All,

We I thought I would round out my system so....

I just purchased two R1's. One for my McIntosh MC402 amp and one for my McIntosh C200 and Marantz SA-7S1. Neither of the above would be considered bright sounding.

My speakers Dynaudio Confidence 5's

Power Cords are the Lessloss with the Oyaide C079 connectors.

My system nows sounds bright, thin, lack of mid-bass or warmth. What I am hearing is it burn-in issue or what this outlet sounds like.

It sounds really thin, evening playing tube recordings from the 50's. No soul left to the system.

Thanks for you input!

I would say neither. If you flipped the neutral and live while installing them it would give you the lovely sound that you are hearing. Assuming that is not the case, what you describe is very much atypical for the R1 esp contected to 079's. From your system and pc's most of it tends to error on the slighty warm side not bright. The dyna's can be a little on the ruthless side but that tends to be more when they are underpowered which in your case they certianly are not. What other cabling are you using?
