Generally, I start with DIY for the fun and savings, but mostly to try out the concept. Since a lot of DIY clones are purported to give 60-80% of the impact for under 10% of the cost, I often stay with them. That difference is a lotta bread!!!Then there's the potential synergy issues.
My P&S (and others) cost under $4 with higher priced options at $8-12 apiece. Pretty cheap for good sound. If I buy them cryoed they jump to $16-25 apiece. Still pretty cheap. The least expensive of the specifically "audio grade" outlets are $40 each, while the Oyaides run as you note into 3 figures.
To make that extra 20% worth the $100+ jump I'd have to be damn sure that there was a commensurate jump in that quality WITH my budget gear and other parts of the AC system. That's assuming that the synergy with the rest of my lower priced system from other manufacturers would even carry the full benefit over, since I'm not going to be able to afford the full Monty. I know that the law of diminishing returns is woefully operative in audio, so I'm kinda doubtful just now.
I do know that cryoed plugs and wire work well with my system. I've found other great tweaks through experimenting (and in electricity from our fellow inmate Al Sekela). So those have come before the Oyaide experiment.
Wish I did have the budget many of you do....not in the cards.
