RE: I used Furutech copper

Yep. In my system the R-1 has a similar tonal balance to the old Furutech Copper, and would say that both these are the most tonally neutral sockets compared to the Oyaide SWO, GX, Hubbel, P&S.

Compared to the Furu Copper, the R-1's have a smoother fuller midrange and more detail in the top end and are an easy upgrade from the old Furu Copper. I cant say the same about the SWO which is toxic anywhere in the chain for my front end (and believe me I have tried it in every plug socket combination, cryoed, heavily burned in etc etc). BUT on my poweramps all is fine when combined with the P-079. This will be contrary to what others have found, but thats what the SWO is like for me.

Downstream I use Furutech Gold which I also like and synergise well with an R-1 and SWO upstream.
