The R1 Beryllium AC outlet is like a B-2 Stealth Bomber...

...vs the SWO-XXX F/A-18 Strike Fighter :-)

The R1 seems to present a complete lack of glare in the top end, with the treble sounding so pure that the R1 almost sounds "too dry" after becoming "acclimatized" to the SWO-XXX's sonic signature.

The only issue I'm still watching is the bottom end. The R1 offers quite a bit more bass energy than the SWO-XXX, bass that seems to move substantially more air in my room and down into the floor, but doing so in just a tad too relaxed a manner. So, the only real issue I hope will improve with more burn-in time is a more tangibly felt visceral slam to the chest, just a bit more than I feel at this time. Otherwise, it is most likely that the bottom end will at least develop a more authoritative sounding grip, so to speak. Just a wee bit tighter, please...

On the other hand, it just might be that the set of gold Oyaide 079 AC connectors in use are not the ideal mate for the R1, and that the new Oyaide P-004/C-004 Beryllium AC connectors (less pricey than the no holds barred Oyaide M1/F1 AC connectors) are the missing link to the new "killer app" combo. Maybe all would fly higher when an all-beryllium copper AC outlet/AC connector combo is in play... (?)
