Preamp PC - Elrod Sig II or SR Tesla T2 or ??

The S.O.T.U. is the current top cord from the 'new' Electraglide, whatever that means. It is also grounded. The Epiphany X was the top of the line from the 'old' Electraglide a couple of years ago, but as I recall, it was ungrounded. Take that for what it's worth.

I have one of each, but I just received the S.O.T.U. yesterday, and have formed no opinions yet, in fact it's still burning in on my refrigerator.

Cheers,
John

PS: LOL about the "Dick Vermeil" reference....I hadn't thought about that name in a few years.

10-4 John.

RE DV
I've never been acused of having too much fun... but I keep trying ;-)

Hey Blindjim, did you get the Synergistic Tesla T2 yet? Let us know your findings with this PC on your pre... Thanks!

Thanks for asking...

Sorry it took me so long to get back to you... I've been putting together a PC Blue Ray - DVD player I can integrate into the HT system... graphics card, new monitor, power supply, SATA 1gb HD, etc.

Yes. Just finished and sent it back to the Cable Co. yesterday.

It's a nice cable and suited to several spots in my various pieces, here and there. Even my Onkyo 805 receiver liked it a lot. Apart from that one item, it does seem more suited to lesser current drawing gear.

Good detail and resolution, and some depth was added, albeit not with the notebook as source. There it was merely greater lateral disbursement of the sound field. But little depth if any was added. IMHO.

I found it suited the Bel Canto DAC3 far more than it did the Thor preamp... and swapped it to it quite soon, replacing the Voodoo Tesla II that usually supplied the DAC.

Lastly, it did add a deeper blackness to the Soundstage, thereby illuminating the presentations' components better. I did like that a good bit. Things were overall quieter as the noise floor diminished too.

I also gave some thought to the notion that an all Tesla pc powered rig would gain for me my desire here, but that way lays a far greater $$$ outlay, and consequently, a more involved prospect which isn't a sure thing either.

So the beat the bushes for another snake, goes on...

joeyboynj, several months ago I installed Synergistic Research Magnetic Tricon Tesla Series ICs through out my system along with Tesla 2 PCs and I thought that it sounded great. Since then I have added the Teslaplex wall outlets and the improvement is astonishing. I never thought that a wall outlet could make such a difference. I have used other so called higher end outlets but all were a disappointment after a period of time, but none of them came even close to the Tesla. Synergistic Research really has something with these Tesla Series products IMHO. It must really be the synergy.
