Synergistic Power Cell 10 se Mk 111 users

Have not had the III, but had the Powercell SE mkII and sold it. I had to try it, and wanted one for years before I finally got it... The differences it made to my system sound were subtle and hard to describe, maybe providing a little more accuracy to the music, but not the reality I was seeking. Based on my experience having owned an SR Tesla power cord and the Powercell II, my curiosity with SR is done. I came away with the feeling that the products were overpriced and over-hyped; at least in my system. I'd recommend that you don't spend the retail $5500 for sure. YMMV

Overall, I'd have to say that power conditioning and power regenerating devices I've used have all been disappointing and I ended up moving on from each one of them.

I have used no conditioning, a PS Audio Regenerator, and the Synergistic Research Powercell Mark II in my horn based system. I found the Powercell to be a significant improvement over the other two approaches. I am listening to my system as I type this and the music is detailed, complex, relaxing, and emotionally fullfiling. I could't ask for more.

I hear you, I finally got my hands on Powercell SE 10, no mk, just SE and what it provided was a liquid sound with great clarity, great soundstage BUT at lose in dynamics and that is a big thing to me.  Now, my only assumption is that maybe the power cell is uncovering the shortfalls in my system, well, that would be my interconnects which a different variety of radio shack and best buy brands.  I am going to upgrade to DH Labs Innerconnects and if this does not work, I don't think it will last, but I will give the powercell a fair chance.
