Tesla Plex SE by Synergistic Research.

No I do not teach physics. I am an anesthesiologist.
Remember the A/C receptacle will sound better upon instalation but will fully open up with about 150 hours of current flowing thru it.

justubes2:
The "BLACK" fuses shipped yesterday and so should have them for this weekend listening sessions. I will have the good fortune to compare the sound of equipment using the Synergistic Research original fuse-SR20, RED, and now the BLACK fuse.

The amplifiers are Art Audio PX-25, Emotion Custom (type45 tube), Jadis, and Eddie Current Zana Deux OTL headphone amp.

The sources are Marantz SA11-S2 SACD players, and an Antelope DAC (which has a separate fuse for Hot and Neutral).

As a further listening bonus this weekend, I will be listening to Zuill Baily play Bach on his 1693 cello live, and then compare it to his CD. I hope I do not have to tell him he needs a fuse change!

If you enjoy classical music at all, I highly recommend Zuill Bailey's cello CD's.

HI David,

Looking forward to your impressions. 

The migs 2.0 were a nice improvement over the 1st version, again adding fuses leads to more costly synergistic older stuff becoming paperweights.

So if i replace a red fuse with a black, the fuse ends up costing a whole lot and its not just a one fuse....!

Dr. Pritchard;

Drager or Ohmeda machine preference?

Hi Mr Pritchard,
Many thanks for your suggestion!
I will be eager to see how the Tesla wall AC receptacle evolves within 150hours of break in..
I´m interested also in reading your comparison between both fuses( the Red and Black)
Cheers!
keep in touch!

Hi Raf,
I used to have Tesla Powercell 4Se in my system up to last December. It made HF to become more refined and provided more sound-stage extensions. Based on my experience, bass was a little bit softened. Overall it is a very good Power conditioner for Tube amps. Especially its non-limited current characteristic made it very appealing for big amplifiers. Except Tara labs (Pm2, Ad6 and Idat) power conditioners, I don’t know any other PC having this characteristic. Powercell does not provide any surge protection, so you need to be aware of that.

I used to cascade Powercell with Tara labs Pm2/Ad6 and result was excellent. You could also cascade your Powercell with Transparent filter bank and find out whether it would improve the sound quality or not.

Upgrading MPC adapter of Powercell (30-32volts output), would bring more resolution and refined HF to your system. It is recommended to do so. There are some comments here at Audiogon about how to do it. Instead of that, I also tried, some laptop AC/DC adapters which usually are very good (30-32volts outputs) and result was much better compared to original MPC.
BTw, your Furutech FPX is a very good WPO, and perhaps adding a Tesla plex Wall outlet will make your system too bright!!! Right now, Furrutech Gtx Gold is on sale for $140 which is pretty good and maybe it could compensate/improve the bass frequency of Powercell.

Hope that would help,
Cheers,
Michel
