Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments?

2 days ago I received the SR Accelerator speaker cable from the Cable Company. I am delighted with the sparkle, liveliness, and clarity of the sound. I do notice a pronounced "ticky ticky" sound in the upper treble on high-hats which ,to me, does not sound completely natural. The focus of voices in the midrange is exceptional. The bass is very tight and clean. Spatial depth and portrayal of the space where the music is performed is also very good. With this cable each instrument or player is highlighted so well. Even rock music like Beck takes on a symphonic quality where every synth,guitar riff, vocal jumping out at you.

Does anyone know if the ac coupler has to be matched with a specific end of the cable? I listened for a day then switched them and I swear the sound improved.

I'm not completely sold yet, as my other choice is the purist Musaeus which is significantly less expensive and has a very lovely and natural presentation. The Purist cables are a bit unwieldy in the system. The SR cable is light, flexible and easy to maneuver. I do wish I could turn off those blue lights on the ac coupler. i prefer listening in the dark! Anyone in metro New York is welcome to stop by if interested.

J_evege, the Accelerator takes some time to open up and burn in even with the treble. My pair took about 300-500 hours for the treble to smooth out. I heard from others the same experience.

The cables are directional and have arrows. It is important that you install them correctly. No, it should not matter which coupler plugs into the cable. Many said that SR cables improve with the Quattro that can power all the cables. I use a PS Audio Power Plant Premier and have the couplers plugged into regenerated power. There was an improvement in supplying better power to the cords.

Give SR a call they are very nice and love taking about their cables and giving tips on how to improve the sound.
HAVE FUN!

J_evege, let the cables sit still for few days and play music as much as possible. It takes a bit of time to settle.

So you noticed a bit of unnatural sparkle at the very top on symbals as well, ha?

I agree the bass, mids and soundstage are really good with this cable.

Are you going to try the next model up in Tesla line?

Hi Guys,I have just finished a 3 week trial from the CC of the Hovland Music Groove 2 and the SR Tesla tone arm cable. The SR blew me away.I have never had better vinyl sound, in fact for a long time I stopped listening to vinyl because I was so disappointed in the status of tone arm cables.I listened 98 per cent to SACDs. I have ordered a 1.25 meter length of the SR Tesla from the CC.My vinyl listening will be a new experience after I receive the cable. It is fantastic.

Is the tonearm cable internal or from mini din to RCA?

I am curious since I have a Stealth Hyperphono (which has been mentioned here as being better than even Purist's top cable) on demo but am still waiting for my turntable to arrive.
