Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments?

Tvad- I'm actually running the APL through my preamp and raising the volume on the DAC board has cleared up the bass problem. It is obviously increasing the output to the preamp, with excellent results. I am presuming the volume control on the Sony remote is communicating with the DAC board inside the 3910 as per Alex's instructions.

That doesn't make sense to me, since the H Attenuator must either be turned on or off to work properly (my understanding is it should be turned off when running through a preamp), but if you say it's working for you, then that's all that matters.

So I got a T3 from the Cable Company loan library (as well as a JPS Power AC+ on recommendation from someone) but I'm quite disaapointed. My McCormack DNA-500 amp has a 20A IEC and I requested 20A IEC'd pc's to evaluate. The JPS is indeed one, but my real need/reason for this eval was to hear the T3 on my McCormack, and compare it to my existing Audience PowerChord. Instead, they sent a standard 15A IEC'd T3 and a $25 Interpower 20A IEC adapter dongle! Can I assume that this is a weak link, or am I making too much of it? Thx

I believe most users would prefer to evaluate the cord without an adapter. Whether you or anyone else could hear an appreciable difference is open to question, but I have friends locally who say they do hear the difference and an adapter is detrimental to the performance of a power cord.

In my opinion, the 20a amp adapter has to be a weak link and will alter (however much) the sonic end result of the SR T3. Unless the Cable Company informed you up front that they could not send a 20 amp T3 cord and asked if sending a 15 amp T3 along with a 20 amp adapter was OK, this is poor service on the Cable Company's part. Mistakes happen; my dealer sent me a 20 amp T3 because he didn't look in the box before shipping it and assumed there was a 15 amp cord in there. I was disappointed when I opened the box only to find a 20 amp cord I could not use. So it was shipped back; but the dealer made things right with me. That was a mistake on the part of the dealer. But this sounds like the Cable Company did not have 20 amp T3 in stock and expects you to accept the compromise of using a 20 amp adapter. The Cable Company's service in my experience has been inconsistent, sometimes absolutely great, sometimes not so great.
