Leica_man,
Right now, I'm listening to an antique amp'd system w/ monobloc tube amps being fed by a pair of single ended SR Tesla Acoustic Reference ICs... the rest of the cabling is Kubala-Sosna Fascination XLRs from the cdp to the preamp and Fascination SCs to the Tannoy DC3s...
and I have never heard this system sound as good as it does today.
I've fed it the early Dave Matthews and John Mayer albums with results of astonishing listen-ability and depth.
The whole experience, regardless of music genre, is very, very suprising in a very positive way. I'm looking forward to putting SR Acoustic Reference SCs on it later this week.
IMHO skepticsim about audiophile equipment and especially the cabling aspect of audio-philia is always a smart thing, but trying the SR Teslas is even smarter.
My advice: borrow them from the CC, hook them up to your system putting the active shielding plugs at the source-point, attach the active shielding MPCs, plug them in observing polarity, leave them plugged in, play them over several days, do not move them, touch them, screw with them in any way, and within a week you will hear remarkable things.
All the best to everyone,
Ed
