Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments?

BTW, this thread has almost 18,000 views. WOW!!!

Hi Joeyboynj,
Funny coincidence, only a few days ago I have added to my system comments that I have "fallen" for the Tricon Analog phono cable from the Tesla series, allow me to just copy that here (by the way, the audition was done with a dealer's demo cable, so I guess it had been well broken-in)

Another quest finished. I have been auditioning a Synergistic Research Tricon Analog phono cable for two days now and without doubt it will stay in the system. A leap forward in respect of micro-dynamics to the point of enhancing understanding of artistic expressiveness. Now, don't roll your eyes yet, I know that's a mighty mouthful of a statement. One point in case, then: Stan Getz's finely layered vibrato on "O Grande Amor" (Getz/Gilberto) shone with full genius where it had been "only" superb before. Also, the proverbial re-discovery of a number of records that appeared not so bland as I thought they were (e.g. Subharmonic "In Dub"). Finally, another fetish of mine: impeccable soundscape with anything from one-man-with-a-guitar (e.g. Michael Chapman "Window") to not-so-easy orchestral works (e.g. CSO/Georg Solti "Stravinsky - Le Sacre du Printemps"). Cable that I had used in the analog rig before and had available to compare with: Audioplan Super X-wire, Kimber KS 1010, Cicable AC5SR and AMR IC-77, admittedly all less expensive than the Tricon. However, the Tricon is without the slightest doubt also better than the imho overly hyped and rather more expensive Silent Wire NF-32 I had on trial once. All of the above applicable to and witnessed in my own system, of course.

Hats off to Ted Denney

Hi All,

This has been an interesting thread. I have never owed a conditioner nor upgraded Power Cables. I am going to give it a try.

I ordered a Hydra 6 with Python Helix and I have ordered a T2 and T3 to try on my Preamp, Amp and CDP. I will play with these two cables to see how it goes. If it goes well I may also borrow a Precision AC.

I am using a very low budget IC on my Rega Saturn. I would also like to try out the Acoustic Reference which would be a huge step up from my current IC. I want to borrow a Nordost Tyr to compare form the Cable Company.

Speaker Cables and ICs from Preamp to Amp are Nordost Blue Heaven. This may be the next to be upgraded. Probably IC's first.

I am really excited to try my first Hydra 6 and updated Power Cords. I almost went with the Hydra 8 but I hope the 6 will be a good choice.

Should I burn-in the cable to be used on the CDP or Preamp on my AMP for a few days? It seams the cable to the CDP would take a very long time to burn in.

I will let you know my thoughts on the T2 and T3 as well as my first conditioner. Cables should be here next week but the Hydra is back-ordered for two weeks so I have some time to wait. Bummer.

Also, a shameless plug and I have no relationship to the Cable Company but they were outstanding with helping me with the T2 and T3. I am looking to a long relationship with them.

Hey Rick,
I went through The Cable Co as well-great choice and opportunity to find exactly which cables compliment your system in a way that makes music to "your" ears. As to your choices bravo and you may want to read my system description-I used to have the more expensive Anaconda 2 power cords throughout my system and recently ungraded to all Tesla power cords. The differences were startling.

In addition to the Tesla power cords I would ask the CC about the new upcoming SR Tesla power conditioner. I heard it at CES and it did exactly what their IC's, SC's, and Power Cords do. That is to say it improved sound staging, layering, low frequency extension and control, and added air with transparent smoothness. I'm sure The Cable Co will allow you to compare the two units before making your final decision. I'm eager to try one myself but at the point I expect great things; SR seems to be batting a 1000 these days.

But the question Leica man is which has a more profound effect.The conditoner or Enigma? We know together there excellent.
