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). 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.
