Tesla Plex SE by Synergistic Research.

Hi Dear Fellows.
I have a  Transparent  Ultra power bank filter pluged to a modest Furutech FPX wall receptacle to feed my system.I have a very relaxing efect , with deepness in soundstage, accurate timber, airy sound and a dark background.Anyway , said that,I feel my system needs a little punch  in the upper frequencies, I think is a very quiet listening and lacks a bit of energy to my taste.I red that the tesla Plex SE receptacle due to its 2 million volts treatment, have a more detailed sound, airy, and very dinamic, with better bass extension.So I kept that in my mind and decided to buy one of these receptacles.I haven´t received it yet.So what can I expect from this wall receptacle?Is it true what the description tells about its performance?Any experiences will be highly appreciated!!I will tell mines once I'll test it.Thanks in advance!Cheers!Raf

My system is  configurated as follows:
Cal delta transport
Audio alchemy Dti pro
EAD Dsp 9000 pro
Jadis Orchestra amplifier
Proac Response One SC
Van den hul The First interconnects
PAD  Praestro  biwire 20th anniversary speaker cables

Ok initial listening session done.  

I spent about an hour swapping fuses in the arc sp16 and comparing.  Also changing fuse direction.  I left the quantum sticker thingy off. 

So look,  the red fuse sounded good.      So did the stock fuse that came in the arc sp16 new.    If there was a difference it did not jump out at me.  Both sounded similarly good with great dynamics big soundstage excellent detail and the whole nine yards.   I cannot really attribute anything unique to the red fuse so far. 

I listened to 3 very good quality recordings, all lossless flac files ripped to my music server using dbpoweramp:  The Mariners Revenge Song by The Decemberists, The William Walton Crown Imperial Coronation March on Mercury Living Presence,. And The Grand Duel by Luis Bacalov from the Kill Bill Pt 1 soundtrack.

I much prefer Ohmedia machines!

I did find the RED fuse to take about 3 days to settle in. I thought it was a nice improvement over a stock fuse. Then comparing a Synergistic Research Black fuse to Red or original, the improvement was greatest with the BLACK fuse.

Black fuse is simply the best and it's easy to hear the improvement. This applies to amps, DAC's, CD players, sound processors, sub woofers and TV sound bars. These are locations I have personally evaluated.

Concerning wall outlets: I do like the way the Synergistic Research Teslaplex SE wall outlets brings more music to the room. The Furutech GTX-R is also good but brings different qualities to the room.  But if I was starting out trying outlets,  I would pick a Synergistic Research Teslaplex SE. It is the one outlet that comes with a 30 day money back trial. It also is less expensive!

Hello Rafael,

I was wondering whether you would share your experience on Tesla plex and any comparison with Furutech FPX(R?G?cu?).

cheers,
Michel.

michelzay,

I have the SR outlets. And... Oyaide R1, MIT, Maestro, PS and the Furutech GTX-R  and a few other outlets.

To my ears, and with my system, I prefer the Furutech GTX-R. It has a better all around frequency. I also prefer not only the Oyaide wall covers for sound quality but I think they look better too. I have a total of 4 Oyaide Duplex covers and 8 Furutech outlets.

The other outlets are used in my homemade DIY outlet boxes that can be seen on my system page.

Ozzy,
Thanks a lot for your  comments. Actually, I have a couple of Furutech GTX--DGold which are really good on my amps. I used them on front end and found a little bit reticent on high frequencies, less dynamic and somehow dominating audio signal on bass. I use some Hubbell IG 5362 Double Cryo'd AC Outlet for front end now. It is very good on mids and HF but somehow shy on bass. I looked around and it seems GTX-D-Rhodium is reticent on midrange. That's what it makes me somehow cautious.  I would rather to have a nice midrange rather than strong bass. Besides, I use some IEGO Silver IEC on couple of my power cords and all my ICs are Silver (AQ SKY) as well as on my SC cables (AQ Meteor).  Too much brightness is not what I look for.

What is your impression on midrange and bass  provided by GTX-Rhodium? and how it it is compared to other outlets?

thanks,
Michel.
