Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments?

Leica:

From what I understand, you are experiencing from what Ted Denney of S.R. refers to as cable trama. That is, whenever any cable is moved the molecules are disturbed and totally changes/collapses the sound. Case in point: I was recently speaking to him about the Accelerator Speaker cables and that I had reinserted them into my system.....I was going to be out town for a week....he said plug them in and let the active shield settle in you won't believe the sound when you get back. Sure enough, I got back into town and presto the magic was back. Bottom line: don't mess w/ the Tesla's once they are in your system!

Scottyw, it's not only with Tesla that this applies.
Some cables are more sensitive to it, some less.

My Purist 20th Anniversary Aqueous speaker cable is more sensitive to this stuff than the Tesla was(although I noticed it with Tesla Accelerators as well).

When I bought it, Cable Company pre-burned it for few days. I think in shipment(it was obviously coiled to fit in the packaging) I think the break in tie that CC put on this cable was totally initialized back to zero.
The Purist is so sensitive to movement, up to the point that if the cable is completely burned in and you take it out of your system and coil it, it may require an almost full break in cycle again. No kidding. I moved the cable a little about a week ago and it sounded like crap for the next 50 hours or so.
Now anyone who touches it, it's an automatic death sentence. :)

That stuff is so trippy to me. I've never noticed it as dramatically as I did with the Teslas. Which by the way, continue to sound better and better. I probably have 150 hours or so on them now -- I'm very happy with them.

I just tried Apex interconnect placed between my phono stage and line stage. It smoked my top of the line Kimber. It made the Kimber sound foggy. The Apex is indeed detailed, transparent, and very spacious. It is very quiet. It is detail but not aggressive. I thought my Kimber was very clear sounding. But the Apex is one level up. It sounded better over time. It needs some time to settle in. I used to have Resolution Reference, which now sounded rough compared to Apex.

My phono is the next frontier using Tesla's. I've been so in awe of my cd playback w/ these cables I haven't listened to record in a month -- truthfully I can't wait to hear what they really sound like. I'm still dumbfounded as to the level of performance of these cables and I have the entry level Accelerators (not the apex's)! Like I've been preachin' WOW.

I'll keep you posted on my findings!
