Synergistic Research Tesla Plex SE ac receptacle

I switched from the FIM and I think it wasn't more than a few hours less than 20 when I felt it had stabilized. Much quieter background and stable image. Since I started using the Tesla Plex I don't think I need to look further.

Gb, this is what I did

I would like to think that after several hundred hours all of these outlets would be as burned in as they were going to get. In my system I found the Teslaplex SE the most "exciting", but it had a slightly artificial quality in the upper mids and lower high end compared to the Maestro. YMMV. I chose the Maestro because it sounds the best of the ones I tried.

Thanks Tonyptony.
I may eventually try a Maestro, but I'm going with a Furutech GTX-D eventually.
And I trust your experience, but I do need to point out that Neil Gader has also had these (although with a Powercell 10SE) and was quite impressed.
I do not doubt at all that the Maestro may be superior, just that it would be strange that the Tesla had an artificial quality in the upper mids/lower treble. How did it manifest - meaning what sounded "wrong"

I have auditioned Ps Audio Premier, Oyaide R-1, and the Synergistic Research Tesla Plex. Each has their own sonic imprint. The SR is the most open across the entire frequency spectrum. The Oyaide R-1 is darker,but not muffled. The PS Audio more high frequency emphasis. The audio circuit has 5 receptacles. Currently my system sounds the best with 4 Synergistic receptacles plus 1 Oyaide receptacle. This circuit was further improved when I had the circuit breaker "Quantum Tunneled" by Synergistic Research.

Well, I'm going by memory at this point, but as I recall there was something in the upper mids / lower treble that just - over long listening sessions - seemed not as natural in my system as the overall feeling I got with the Maestro. The difference was minor in the grand scheme of things, but I just felt over hours of listening that I got a more realistic, natural sound and presentation top to bottom with the Maestro. I suspect I could have changed some ICs in my system and the choice could have easily been the Tesla. I didn't dislike it by any means. The Maestro just helped my system sound more like what I hear when I go to classical and jazz performances. Sorry I can't recollect it at this point with the standard audio jargon.

If it helps, I liked the Tesla SE better than the Oyaide R1.
