Wall Receptacle Oyaide R0, Furutech GTX-G and SR Black UEF
" Nmmusicman, what balanced power setup are you using?"I'm using a dedicated 20 amp line to the listening room with a Platinum Power PP-1 balanced power transformer with a rated capacity of 2400VA.I'm also using a second unit for the HT system.Th... 
Wall Receptacle Oyaide R0, Furutech GTX-G and SR Black UEF
Macdude,I had the same experience as you when I first starting using Oyaide outlets. Issues I thought were related to digital playback were in fact power related to my outlet/power conditioning. Each step up the Oyaide line, while sometimes sidewa... 
Whats playing on your system today?
Los Lobos - El Cancionero MAS y MAS, discs 3 & 4 which covers 1992 - 2000. 
Speakers with warm treble and good bass
A pair of Alon Lotus SE speakers should be just your ticket especially with the Rogue Audio Chrome Magnum int. tube amp. There is a pair for sale over at Usaudiomart for $1000 which is a downright steal. (no affiliation with the seller, just a lon...

Does a sub need to be on the floor?
Short answer, the best position for a sub is how it loads the particular room it’s in. I have done experiments with raising and lowering a REL Strata lll in the front corner and the best position for bass articulation, extension and soundstaging w... 
REL high-level connection and McIntosh Autoformers
I know for a fact that the AC input GND connection on my Stadium lll and Strata lll are not connected to anything, only the Hot and Neutral AC input is connected to the input transformer. The GND pin is not electrically connected , thus the REL ST... 
REL high-level connection and McIntosh Autoformers
I’m fairly certain that any MAC amp that uses autoformers is not balanced on the output. Like I said, my amp uses the autoformers and there has never been an issue using several REL units.Of course, it never hurts to contact either REL or the amp ... 
REL high-level connection and McIntosh Autoformers
There is no cause for concern. I have a REL Stadium lll connected to a MC275 Mk V utilizing the high level connection with no issues whatsoever. Connect the Red wire from the REL high level cable to the Right channel positive, the Yellow wire to t... 
Wall Receptacle Oyaide R0, Furutech GTX-G and SR Black UEF
IME, the WPC-Z wall mount system is not just an accessory but an essential building block to allow the Oyaide, or other outlets, to perform to their maximum potential and worth every penny for the ROI delivered. An additional item I would like to ... 
Wall Receptacle Oyaide R0, Furutech GTX-G and SR Black UEF
Being a long time Oyaide user/advocate, I could shed a bit of light on the R1 vs. R0 outlets. The R1 is one of the most refined outlets available with excellent octave to octave balance along with an excellent delineated soundstage. However, it is... 
Greatest song titles..

Symposium's Classic Damping Insert Kit for VPI turntables
Got the inserts last week for my Scout, which has upgraded HRX footers, and can say that they do everything Symposium claims and more. Dynamic contrasts are more pronounced with increased instrument delineanation.I urge all VPI owners to consider ... 
Anyone compare Furutech’s GTX–D NCF to the Synergistic Research UEF with Graphene duplex?
I would highly recommend the Oyaide R0 outlet mounted in the Oyaide WPC-Z wall plate. The R0 is an unplated version of the R1 and as such sounds more neutral. Oyaide also offers an unplated P004 male plug now as well. I just got a unplated version...
