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.

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...
