Synergistic Research Powercell SX Power Conditioner


Hi,

There is not that much chatter about the SR powercell SX power conditioner so wanted to get people to share their thoughts especially with the SX powercable.  SR has already moved onto the SRX power cables so does that mean the SRX powercell will be released by spring 2021?  In any event I think their powercell 12 UEF SE is excellent and am already running it with a SX power cable.  I am especially interested in those who have upgraded from the 12 UEF SE to the SX.  I am already running dedicated lines so am wondering how much more better can it get?

If you hate SR products or find all power conditioners to be snake oil but have not heard any of the more recent ones from SR please share your thoughts in some other forum discussion.

I agree synergy is important and hard to predict...

I have never liked the powercell with an atmosphere power cable.  I know it provides a lower price point but always feel you need the Galileo to power it...at least in my system. ..then again I use mostly Galileo power cables
My PowerCell SX 'review' may be helpful. Note: it is powered from the wall with the SRX (Neutrik Powercon connector) and NOT the SX equivalent.

I need to update the write-up as some changes / additions have been made since. All positive, performance wise.
I threw caution to the wind and acquired a Powercell SX with sx power cable and upgraded outlet to SR orange receptacle.

I can say that right out of gate its better than the powercell 12 uef se with the same power cable.

The difference is obvious and I am happy with upgrade.  I kept the powercell 12 for my second system.  The difference is not night and day as powercell 12 is excellent.  Nonetheless the music pours out more openly than before and I can imagine with the SRX power cable even more so.  I am happy with my existing Galileo SX power cables in my components so will leave the SRX to the more well heeled among us.

I am not using SR grounding block and that is only feature of powercell SX that I am not getting benefit of.  

Well done Ted.....
