My R1's and 004's are not analytical to my listening taste when placed in my particular system. I find the sonic signature of the system to sound way more on the musical side of things rather clinical, for sure.
Perhaps the older AC connectors models (such as the 046 and 079), and SWO AC outlet models are what you are pointing at.
I would agree that the Acrolink 6N-P4030 cable is very detailed, but the result does not drive me up the wall -- I could (and sometimes do) listen to my audio system all day long, fatigue-free...

But maybe I'm wrong. All of my components are highly resolving and fast. Without good wires, it is pretty unlistenable because all of the distortion which it accurately reproduces. I made the mistake of trying "fast" wires, tubes, etc. and they werer clearly a bad choice. I'm sure that Seimens tubes sound great in Bambi's system with its Vandersteen speakers, but my Thiels can't abide them. I have one pair of acrolinks feeding the speaker equalizer, but otherwise Cardas cables work much better for me. I would never say that Cardas is the best cable choice for everyone, just as I'm sure you would never say that Oyaide outlets will improve any system regardless of its sound.
My system would certainly sound less refined and present less macro and micro listening cues, but there's no reason why it would sound "a bit dead" if connected with stock cabling and AC gear. My cable choices are not some kind of "fix" for a sub par audio rig...
Unlike you, I didn't choose perfect electronics, perfect speakers and perfect cables. I'm sure if I had, only a perfect outlet would give me the results I was looking for. Although I will say that when I bought my Audio Research gear, I was also looking at Bryston, but found the Bryston's upper frequency grunge and lack of refinement objectionable. Unless your B&W speakers mask those problems, I'm surprised that your preference for revealing wires doesn't drive you up the wall. Have you considered seeing an audiologist?
from duster's posts (over the years), one can gather that he has quite an elaborate system of power-conditioning going on and maybe he has created a mix that synergizes with his bryston. i've never heard a bryston, so it's best for me to say no more.
but my disagreements with Duster go back quite some time and any suggestions I have made that Oyaide might not be appropriate for some systems has been met with the same response--the electronics must be at fault. I just don't think that a one-size-fits-all approach is correct.
I've not postured a one-size-fits-all, nor in general have I blamed the make/model of various components for why a listener says they do not like Oyaide AC delivery products. It's only when folks denigrate Oyaide or any other gear that I respect that I will protest by posting a response to such a position. Furthermore, folks who denigrate others like you've done in this thread is clearly out of line and no more than trolling for a flame war.
Additionally, my Bryston 3B-SST mated with a VH Audio AirSine power cord sounds sweet, and my B&W Matrix 805s connected with an external bi-wire set of VH Audio CHeLA speaker cables are classic monitors still featured in one of Abbey Road's mastering studios.
I'll not defend my listening skills. 'nuff said.
Very well written, Duster.
Thank you for all of your informative posts.
You are a true GENTELMAN!!!
