Synergistic Research Quattro multi supply ?'s


I am considering picking up a Quattro power supply to power the activive shielding on my I/C's and speaker cables. Has anyone upgraded to the Quattro from the MPC's and if so did you notice any change in sound? Did it actually make things easier to route or not worth the extra dough? How much do the Quattro's run and now many connections are supplied with the unit? Thanks for any help in advance!

The quattro was introduced in 2004. Synergistic just came out with a new line of cables. So my guess they may come out with a new power center for their cables. You can e-mail them from their website.

I plug my MPC's into a power strip. They sound fine to me. Unless you really want to spend the $$$, it looks like you will need a resolution Ref AC cord to go with it to really get the performance upgrade. I read that elsewhere also. You can find these items used here. The Quattro seldom comes up at $450.

Here is a link on some Retail prices on the unit. The Cable Company can also answer your questions. Give them a call they are honest and will not try to sell you one.

Good Luck!
I've been using the Quattro for about a year now and heard a marked differnce throughout the audio spectrum vs the MPC's. If your into SR cables, you gotta get this, and I guess it is easier to use than the MPCs. I just use an AC master coupler active and still could appreciate the difference.
Thank you for all the info! After getting the active sub cable (an absolute must have if you have never heard one... auditioned a few of them along with the "mine is better" cables from some close friends..... simply amazing! MUCH better sub response....sorry, off topic!) Anyway, that was the cable that made me want to organize the active leads, because they can be a pain to make look nice (my set up is very visable from the listening area). I def. do not want to deal with returns and redos on the final rig. Thanks again for the info!!!
You can power up to six pairs of cables from one Quatro- I know because I'm expanding my Synergistic Research cables to include all SR Tesla and just called them to get triple leads from each tap on the back of my Quatro. 4 taps x 3 leads per tap = 12 single cables or six pairs. One thing's certain- Active Shielding on my TESLA Accelerators and now TESLA Precision Reference Speaker Wire makes a HUGE difference. My sound stage is MUCH bigger then my listening room (when it's turned on) and sounds like I have surround speakers (in a two channel system) with ghost like pinpoint imaging. I could not be happier. Oh yea a Quatro is a nice upgrade from MPC's but you do need to go with a power cord better then generic stock if top performance is to be expected. It also helps to clean up your install and makes turning Active Shielding on and off a snap. Again when Active Shielding is on my system sounds unbelievably holographic.
