Replacing generic RECEPTACLES

I recently bought cryo-ed 10-2 romex from VH audio and had an electrician install two Oyaide R1 duplexes with two runs of 10-2 romex to my breaker panel, so each duplex has it's own 10-2 dedicated run. One run is the cryo-ed wire from VH Audio and one run is standard 10-2 from Home Depot. Why? Well I thought I bought enough cryo-ed romex for both runs but I was short. I did not buy any fancy faceplates for the Oyaide R1 duplexes. My electrician covered them with standard cheap plastic faceplates. If anyone wants to try to convince me that the faceplate makes a difference, have at it but I am not buying it. I have an Isotek Syncro plugged into the Oyaide and than it goes to an Isotek Aquarius conditioner and all my gear is in turn plugged into the Aquarius. My electrician informed me that higher quality breakers were not an option with my Cutler-Hammer breaker box-that it would only accept one breaker. I am skeptical of that, but I went with what he told me anyway. My first observation was that it took a ton of force to install the male plug on my Isotek Syncro into the Oyaide duplex. In fact, I thought I had it all the way in and then noticed days later that there was an 1/8" gap that required more pushing to eliminate. Point; incredibly tight fit on the Oyaide female blades. Do I hear any difference between the new duplexes and the old "standard" hospital grade plug and 12-3 romex that was my pre-existing dedicated line? Nope. Maybe a tiny bit but not worth the $600 I spent for the materials and installation. The biggest change to my ears was the Isotek Syncro and Aquarius. They made my ARC Ref 6, Arc Ref 150 SE and DeVore 0/93's collectively snap into focus and made my bass sound more authoritative and real. The Isotek gear and Cardas Clear cabling made the biggest differences overall compared to my pre-existing power conditioning (none) and cabling (a mixture of Black Cat and Acoustic Zen). 

Oyaide WPC-Z and Z2...... High performance mounting frame and panel....The appearance of the WPC-Z attracted audio enthusiasts and created a strong impression of mounting frame for wall outlets. In 2007, the long awaited double type base, WPC-Z2, has come on the scene. The most important function for high performance mounting frame is attenuating vibration dampening property. The hybrid materials , each of them has different resonance frequency, perform passive vibration suppression to maximize performance of the Furutech GTX -D-R .Furthermore, carbon fiber reinforced plastic, the material of face plate, has functions of static protection and electromagnetic shielding WPC-Z series are the ultimate optional accessory for unlocking unlimited potential of the Furutech GTX D-R.

I recently replaced my old $5 hospital grade outlets with $100 Oyaide R1's and replaced my old dedicated line comprised of 13 ga Romex with cryo'ed 10. The improvement; minimal. "Minimal" as in de minimus.  I have resolving gear-ARC Ref 6 and Ref 150 SE, Cardas Beyond cabling, etc. Carbon fiber face plates and tuned mounting boxes? C'mon Dude. Why not go the next step and replace the stud the mounting box is attached to with some harmonically tuned 2 by 4 made of ancient dried ebony wood? And the drywall should be replaced too before it introduces bad resonances since the box and plate are mounted flush with the drywall. Maybe it ought to be carbon fiber too. This sounds like the parody of Madison Avenue ad copy; " the ultimate optional accessory for unlocking unlimited potential of the Furutech GTX D-R.". I have an open mind and have implemented tons of tweaks, but this is Tice-Clock goofiness.
