Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments?

Overall the Cable Company's service (and Joe in particular) has been very good. Even when they occasionally screw up they make it right (extend a loan, loan at n/c, etc.). I expect the same will be true here. Additionally, Ted saw my post an already sent me an email saying SR will make it right (and that, yes, the adapter will affect the sonics, as assumed). I'm ok with all this, just disappointed that it happened, and wanted your guys opinions that it was indeed a weak link.

Tedmbrady, how do you like the T3 on the DNA-500 vs the JPS? The T3 does take a long time to settle in to sound it's best. Mine took over 3 weeks to get its full potential.

Joeyboynj,
I can't yet say because I sent the borrow back to The Cable Company so they could send me the proper 20A T3, etc. They were apologetic, accomodating and will make it up to me, with great assistance from Ted and SR (as they've both done in the past.) I'll likely do T3 vs a better competitor, though, like Gargantua or something. I'm breaking in so may things right now (Mundorf crossovers of new center and surrounds, etc.) that I'm likely not gonna re-borrow for 30 day or so. I'll report back as soon as I know something.

Has anyone tried the new SR PowerCell?

Yep... I've had my PowerCell for approximately 2 weeks. Would be happy to answer any specific questions you might have.
