Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments?

Jaspal,

The kit has 4 satellites and a bass station. The bowls aren't heat treated and coated like the bit ART system, they are just plain bare metal and no magnets like the big ART either. It comes with instructions and both blu-tak and velcro for mounting options.

I have the basik system I just haven't had a chance to install or play with it yet.

Bacardi... see my initial impressions for performance feedback. The $400 is for a single pair of wires.... not sure for the other wire combos?

The Basiks at least come with screws holding them to their bases.

SR the cables, SR the power conditioner, SR the ART system, SR the toilet paper.....Mel Brooks "Spaceballs" Revisited. Just enough techno babble to impress the easily impressed, minus any real engineering insight. I had the Tesla cables home and found them grey sounding and overly smooth. Website offers nothing tangible on the winding geometries, insulation materials, wire quality etc.

Dave_b,
So which SR cables did you try? Where? Which model(s)? Specifically between which components? How long did you leave them in before passing judgment? I doubt seriously you removed your MIT entirely or that you followed SR's placement guidelines for individual cable models. If all you did was place a few SR Tesla cables haphazard in an overwhelmingly MIT cabled system you have no idea what SR Tesla cables sound like. As to them sounding overly "smooth" you seem to have changed your mind from when you implied they were bright compared to Morrow cables (which you said you liked and that the SR cables sounded similar). I guess it must be the day : )

Synergistic is all about cable system matching. I went over it with Ted at SR and my dealer who sent me a complete set to audition in my system. He later sent me a different power cord for my CD player and interconnects between CD and pre. When the process was complete I had the most realistic three-dimensional sound I have ever heard. I did not make my selection based on which cable company had the slickest web site (if I had I would NOT have bought SR) or the trendiest materials- though SR has a LOT of info regarding cable geometries and materials on their site.

BTW what's in all those MIT boxes in your system? : )

Dave_b, yes, if you ignore the obvious cable charging, the clear effectiveness of the ARTs in demonstration, and many people's positive experiences with the PowerCell. Also you obviously ignored the extensive discussion on the website of the three different geometries used in the interconnects, which have proprietary information.
