Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments?

Correct, the MPC should have the wire pointed down, assuming the ground pin is low side. I too tried it the other way on my demo Tesla Accelerator speaker cables and found the same collapse (or conversely, the same opening up).

New information out on the Synergistic site. It looks like they have some new interconnects the AU79 and the Magnetic Tricon without active shielding. Lots of info on the Enigma is now available as well.

Well I am trying out the AU79 and the MIT IC's along with the Acoustic Zen cables this week. Have no clue what I am doing ... tips on what features to listen for would be helpful!

I am upgrading from Audioquest Opal (single ended). All of the demo cables are better! The demo's are balanced) and are used betwen the DAC and pre amp.

Levinson transport Sonic Frontiers Mark 2 to Audio Research LS15 to Classe 2200 Power amp and Kef 104/2 speakers.

My initial impression is that the AU74 is warmer then the MIT's... Easy to live with. My description would match the web site.

I wrote down... the MIT's seem to have a bit more base extension and are clear.. also very easy to live with the MIT's.

Getting the impedance match was critical... they were awful at Medium impedance... Very nice at High impedance.... (This matches the Pre Amp spec as well)

The MIT's seem to be a bit more effecient then the Snynergistcs. eg... a click or two on the pre amp to match volumes.. (wild ass guess on the level mathces here)

This got me wondering if the impedance matching of the synergistics is not quite right for my gear?

Reading SR's web site you may need to throw a Magnetic Tricon into the mix. It seems the Au79 plays the same role as their Apex flag ship as a dedicated source to pre amp cable with Magnetic Tricon filling in between pre and power amps just like Precision Reference. The Apex / Precision Reference combo worked wonders in my system with the two cables balancing each other perfectly.

PS. The Enigma looks soooo Bitchen- I can't wait!
