Wall Outlet Oyaide, Furutek, Wattgate, and others

Any idea what it costs?

If low series resistance is the most important thing in power delivery, then why didn't someone do it sooner? Its a fairly simple concept.

Ozzy .. the price listed in the Lit. is 180? ... not sure if the ? is US dollars or Euro .. also need to check on shipping tariffs and taxes before there is any surprises from Europe

Assuming their resistance and grip figures are genuine this could be a real contender ... I don’t put much credence in the listening evaluation comparisons as that is more a subjective opinion where as the resistance and grip numbers are objective measurements

The other red flag is the use of the phrase “Pure Copper Conductors’ ... that might be a bit soft to work with so I would be interest in knowing which alloy Tin or Phosphorus/bronze they are based on ... my preference is beryllium like in my R1s and PS Audio Premier Ports

I think the word “Copper” is loosely interpreted and can lose something in translation from a foreign manufacture ... Pacific rim mfgers often use the word “Red Copper” to refer to the premium grade alloy they use ... but I believe the Red Copper is only Phosphorous Bronze and not the higher quality Beryllium grade alloy

If anybody can tech this one out it’s you Ozzy ... go get em Dog

Zd542 ... it’s not that difficult to understand and has been around since the days of Edison ... put some current through a resister and you will get a voltage drop ... a voltage drop = signal loss .. signal loss = information gone forever

Our components draw power off the peaks of the sine wave and in bursts ... it is not like water that is constantly flowing evenly out of a faucet ... it only draws current when it’s needed and how much it needs but if it isn’t there when it’s needed because resistance has reduced the voltage ... well then you stepped in the stream but the water passed you by

Should be Clear as Vodka now

Great post Davehrab, I undestood it competly!, good stuff., thankyou, cheers.

I too bought the Oyaide R-1 from Chris @ VH Audio to replace the Shunyata SR-Z1 outlet that I had been using for awhile. Man, the R-1 spanked the Z1 right out of the box!! What a HUGE DIFFERENCE!! It was like an upgrade to a higher end amp or preamp! I CANNOT recommend it more HIGHLY! Well worth the money & get the Carbon Fiber/aluminum wall plate to go with it. I"ve heard that there is even MORE to be had by using this wallplate. Read the reviews for it. Jonathan Hart
