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.

This is my experience: I began with Hubble Cryo version (like Porter outlets). The difference compared to ordinary Hubble outlet was huge. I moved to SR tesla Red and it was even better. Then I replaced them with Furutech GTX-G on amp side (Solid state) and GTX-R on sources/preamp. I found more improvement on both frequency extremes, much better transition on notes, better sound stage and much better articulation on vocals and notes. Most people suggests GTX-Rhodium for Tube based systems like yours which is well justified as reasoning, also based on my own experience.  There are tones of comments about Oyaide vs. Furutech. I would recommend this article too:

BTW, I've never seen any review about SR Black UEF! However, I would guess it has same sound signature of SR outlets which is very open on High frequencies.

hope that would help...
Cheers.
