Furutech FP-15(Cu) vs. Oyaide R1 Beryllium

IME, the only similarities to the Oyaide R1 Beryllium is that the Furutech FP-15(Cu) presents a very relaxed top end, perhaps the FP-15(Cu)'s top end being "too relaxed" (to a fault), and a big bottom end... however the FP-15(Cu)'s bottom end is less articulated. Clearly, the R1 presents a substantially superior rendition of all listening cues across the board (the R1 is simply a hands-down better sounding AC outlet in all aspects), IMHO.

But the FP-15(Cu) *does* have fine attributes, particularly for the price. I find it to be an obvious upgrade from an AC outlet such as a Hubbell or a P&S, in that the FP-15(Cu) sounds more organic/musical, more open, and offers a grain-free lowered noise floor. It's also perhaps the best choice per synergy to mate with a Furutech FI-11M(Cu) AC plug, since their sonic signatures compliment each other when combined -- the main caveat being a lower resolution presentation than what an Oyaide R1/004 combo or an SWO-XXX/079 combo can provide (they're the bombs, IMHO).
