Which raises a question I'm hoping you can answer

Duster, Al, et al.,

I'm really trying to figure out which is the most realistic of 2 potential routes on the outlet & plug upgrades. Money DOES matter here; it's the primary limiting factor. With 4 duplexes and 8 plugs in my system, whatever I do will be costly to me, so I want the best bang for the bucks.

I cannot simply afford to go all Oyaide. In fact, I'd be lucky to go one major Oyaide outlet or maybe 2 at best. I can afford to replace all with Furutech Cu over time.

You guys who've now tested them seem to say 2 things consistently that don't lead to the same conclusions: 1) that they're both great, but Oyaide is a step or two above Furu; and 2) that plug/outlet synergy is highly important to the sound of either outlet, and Oyaide is more sensitive to those plugs than Furu.

Sooooo, if one Oyaide at the wall would be that good as to overshadow positively the downstream plugs and outlets, then that's a way I can go. But if plug to outlet synergy is more important overall, then I have to go Furu.

Can you guys with direct comparison experience guide me from your impressions as to which way would likely produce the best results?

Thanks.
