Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments?

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.

How do you like it compared to what you were using in the past? I would like to know are there many sonic improvements? I was expecting to receive one today but there was a slight problem with TCC. Things happen...

I upgraded my Accelerator speaker cable to the Precision Reference I'm loving the change. I can only imagine what they will sound like after the break in period.

BTW, you have a sweet system.

Thanks,

How I do I like it... well the other line conditioners I've owned all sounded fine to me (guess it often comes down to which flavor one prefers). And I was doing the usual upgrade dance for all too many years, but as usal something was always bugging me about my system.

So along comes an opportunity to get a PowerCell from the first production run. As a result my system has changed in an important/major way. Finally I feel that I'm hearing what each component is capable of with no apparent loss of dynamics or extension. I'm hearing what is typically associated with each of my components when reading their reviews born out of listening in ultra revealing reviewer's systems. One of those "... so this is what they're talking about" kind of moments.

Dynamics and extension (top and bottom) are up several notches. Distortion is also down to where playing louder and dynamically challenging passages results in no breakup as was often typical before. This was also observed in my friend's vinyl set-up. There was an operatic soprano passage from an older London recording that would break up and we attributed to possible tracking issues... PowerCell in, break-up/distortion out.

All the above with a level of refinement (especially with digital sources) that I've never had before. A subtle sense of grain and congestion that I could never completely remove is also gone (no mean feat as I live in one of 184 condos in a one sq. block area... that's a lotta grunge in the lines).
