Hi Mike.
The Oyaide duplex uses a T-bar connection to wire the receptacles compared to US spec which uses a straight bar. No matter what you do with the Oyaide duplex it will always be wire in parallel. The T-bar is standard for Japanese spec.
Now with all that said, how does the PE sound installed in the bottom receptacle?
Are we talking about a shared or dedicated circuit?
Have you looked at the idea of using a a/c male or iec liberator cable to place the PE in series with the component if this is what you are trying to do?
We have a few inexpensive ways to get past the T-bar problem. A lot of my clients recently have tried and favor the iec liberator with the PE series compared to plugging the filter into the wall outlet. Placing the filter closer to the component power supply magnifies the PE effect.
I used to have 2 PEs , but i move one PE to my video system.
To answer your question:
With PE installed at the bottom of receptacle (ground is facing down , per instruction came with PE), the sound is : clean, low noise. The mid is sweet and the bass is tighter. Basically, the system is neutral which i like. I just want to get the most out of my system.
The circuit in my listening room shared with the circuit in adjacent room ( when i turn of breaker, all the receptacles in both rooms are disconnected). And only my audio gears use the power for this line. Should i consider it as a dedicated line?
So, i'm debating whether i should get one PE IV in addition to PE or , just getting PE IV in audio system, and move PE to somewhere else in the house ( probably video system?)
thanks very much.
