Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments?

Fplanner2000...

I found that with almost any of the Tesla cables I've put into my system, and most noticeably the speaker cables (biwire Precision Ref.), that the bass, especially extension-wise, took the longest to come around. Probably around the 300 hr. mark. This was combined with some speaker repositioning as well... I was getting a little too much mid-bass thumpiness and towing out a couple of degrees solved it. The bass goes "through the floor" now.

I thought the "active" portion of this solution reduced break-in (especially dialectric) considerably...still 300 hours huh?

I don't understand the concept of 300 hours of break-in on cords that have already undergone "Quantum Tunneling" conditioning at the factory.

I recently purchased some Gregg Straley Reality speaker cables...$250 for an 8 foot pair. Gregg suggests 20 hours to "settle in" to one's system. The cables sounded great right out of the box, and they don't sound appreciably different 14 days later. Still great.

My second set are Reality cables. The Tesla's replace them for my mains. I'll use Gregg's for my surrounds though; very very nice value cables. I wrote a fairly extensive review/comparo on Audio Circle, and Gregg approved/previewed it. But I ended up getting the Tesla's for such a good $$ that I had to go for it.

The approximately 300 hrs. of break-in I mentioned in my last post re. Tesla cables breaks down into the following routine... QuantumTunneling breaks the ice, then it's 6 days (2 in Voltage Mode and 4 in Current Mode) on the Hagerman FryKleaner and finaly 1 week on a receiver hooked up to a pair of bookshelf speakers in my garage. For power cords it's 10-14 days on the fridge... the same for outlets.

I have generally found that predominantly silver cables take twice as long on the FryKleaner™, hence the 6 days vs. 3 for copper (suggested by Hagerman).
