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 have R-1's all over now. I had the opposite experience. My MF Trivista SACD>Placette passive >CJ Bi-amp SS system became warmer and nicer in the HF. There was less bass but it was nicer in character. I still remember my wife and I's first listen. We were both pleasantly surprised. The system became more laid back in character. I also use the Oyaide WPC-Z cover which I have come to believe is very beneficial. Over time there was no noticeable change from first listen. Mine were cryo'd. My P-300 got upgraded(components and outlets) and it was edgy at first and got better with time. About a month I'd say- or 50-100 hours. Good luck. Get a WPC-Z or two even though they cost more than the outlets.
