Audience AR 12 TS vs Tesla PowerCell 10SE Mk III


After owning the Audience AdeptResponse 12 (non teflon) version I am thinking of an upgrade. For those who have compared the AR 12 TS vs Synergistic Research Tesla PowerCell 10SE Mk II or MkIII, which ones worked out better for you?

As the AR12TS is a pricer alternative, I am wondering if the SR Powercell 10SE MkIII would be on the same level. The AR 6 TS would be indeed another alternative but I would like to keep units with the same width.

I have dedicated 20A lines and am using all tube gear.

I owned the original SR Powercell and once I compared it to the Audience AR2P-TO I bought 3 of them for each dedicated line.
I know not exactly what you wanted to compare to , but it was what I experienced.
Chayro,
As my moniker indicates, I am also into jazz and classical; occasionally I put on a classic rock track, probably driven by nostalgia.
I will try the AU24 or probably the AU24SE PC. The Valhalla offers a lot of speed and transparency but lacks other traits. Audience SE series interconnects and speaker cables IME are quite a step up from their E series cables and I see them in some real high end systems.

Raks,
Can you describe the diff between the AR6 and AR6TS? I believe in tweaks but never tried the Shakti stones; I do have good results with WA Quantum chips, they are a must in fuses (stock or better still, the usual suspects of after market fuses). In the AR12 case, I put it on the Neutrik connector or close to it.

A nice side effect is that we get exposed to many disciplines of material science besides the expected ones in wave dynamics and electrical signal transmission; hearing is believing!

Ozzy,
How would you describe the improvement of the aR2p-TO vs the original Powercell 10?

TIA

In the mean time I will upgrade my Ueberbuss with Furutech GTX-R sockets and see what it gives.
Once the original Powercell was removed and replaced with the Audience there was a wide scale improvement in dynamics!
Jazzonthehudson... My system is all Theta Digital and dead quiet to begin with. I can't say the same about my Pioneer flat screen and Comcast cable box.

When I first got the aR6, my thoughts were that the aR6 was about as good as it'll ever get. When I hit the switch on the aR6TS, it was like a V-8 moment wondering how I hadn't noticed all the noise the aR6 left behind. Don't get me wrong, the aR6 was a giant leap forward for me but the aR6TS created an aura of a pitch black background. I now use the aR6 just for my flat screen and cable box.
Definitely try many as you can in your system and keep what works best. Not a one size fit all...
