Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments?

istanbulu, what component are you using the Precision Ref pc in your system?

I agree with everyone so far about power cords on the amps, especially the Pass amps.

My next audition will be with cords on my amps (Precision Ref or Hologram A) and preamp (T2 or T3)

audphile, you have the Audio Research LS-25 right? When I tried poewr cords on my Ref 3, I found that nothing worked better than the stock cords. Perhaps the LS-25 will behave in the same manner. Consider yourself lucky if it does! You dont have to spend money on expensive cords!

Tboooe, thanks for the suggestion but unfortunately it isn't the case with LS-25. Stock cord does not sound bad at all, but the Shunyata Taipan Helix Alpha sounds a lot better on it. Don't forget, the LS-25 is about 3 generations back and 1 model down from REF3 so these 2 models can not really be compared at all. I'm not in a hurry to change anything in my system right now as everything is working together so well that I can not point out any shortcomings. I'm just enjoying the music. But I will try the new SR power cords anyway. Just to see what the buzz is all about and if they are better, then they'll replace whatever the power cords they beat in my system.

tboooe... the Precision Reference PC is feeding a McIntosh MC352 two channel amp...

I agree with joey's comments and evaluations made earlier today...

this Tesla stuff is the real deal...

the promise made by cable manufacturers decades ago has been realized by SR... nice work!

I'm tempted to check out the Hologram D on the CDP...

istanbulu, for my cdp, the Hologram D did indeed make a pretty big difference though I still evaluating. I am impressed with the soundstage width. My speakers have never disappeared more so than with these cables. The most impressive change though is how accurate they are. The sound is also much livelier. By this I mean that notes seem more well defined. Its like drawing something with a freshly sharpened pencil vs a crayon. The edges and note composition is so much more sharp and less "sloppy". I am concerned that this extra definition may lead to listening fatigue though. I need to keep listening. Don't get me wrong, upon initial listening the sound is very dynamic and engaging.

One thing I noticed when I was at SR listening to Ted's system as well as my own system is that the SR cords tend to create a vertical layering of the sound. For example, I hear the vocals on one level while hearing the guitars a foot or two below. Interesting.
