Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments?

Bxxxb... I have a pair of Accelerators speaker cables wich I was using three months before my recently upgrade to Precision Reference and I passed through the same experience during the cable burn in process, there were practicly few levels and you are in the middle of it, then this strident sound in the high levels will softly dissapear but it took me around 150-200 hours to finally obtein the best from this cable.

Ted_D, If you can answer my questions above from (07-30-08), that would be great!

Anyone else that has any experience comparing the T3 to Precision AC to T3 UHC, please let me know what you found. Much appreciated!!!

Answers and Updates:

The T3 is a very good power cord for power-line conditioners but, as you have discovered, it takes a loooooong time to break in and settle down in this application. An improvement over the standard T3 design is the T3 UHC which stands for "Ultra High Current" and though the T3 was engineered as a high current power cord (perfect for high current amplifiers), after the advent of the PowerCell, a line conditioner capable of handling an entire system's power needs- power amps, pre-amp, front ends and even mono blocks, I was looking for a way to take my basic T3 design to the next level given the unprecedented current demands the PowerCell places on any power cord; hence the T3 UHC was born. As such the T3 UHC is a heavier gauge version of the already high gauge T3 design. As a power cord for line conditioners it presents music with more weight and mid-range bloom when directly compared to the basic T3 especially when you have a full system connected to a line conditioner, and it does this at a reasonable price.

However by far our best sounding power cord from the Tesla series for the new PowerCell, is the Precision AC. This cord adds a level of refinement, air, and inner detail and nuance not found in the T3 or T3 UHC when used in conjunction with a power conditioner. In fact our top of the line PowerCell 10 SE comes standard with a Precision AC power cord along with a slightly higher performance internal electromagnetic cell. So for a little more then you would pay for a standard PowerCell 10 with a T3 UHC, you can get a PowerCell 10 SE with a Precision AC power cord and 32 AMP Powercon connection in place of the standard PowerCell's IEC connectors.

As to the Enigma, as sad as I am to tell everyone, we have sold through the entire run much sooner then expected- due to the impossible to get nature of it's rare new old stock tubes. Luckily I am working on a new valve based power supply based on a Mullard tube that should be ready some time next year. In the mean time I am perfecting a set of new analogue room correction devices that correct for room acoustics and this will debut at RMAF in Oct.

I hope this answers some of your questions- perhaps if I can stop developing new products long enough I can get more of my designs on our web site : )

Thanks Ted for the update and the clarifications... both now and in the past...particularly on the power cords, the PowerCell, and the Enigma... and good to hear that you have found solution to the scarcity of particular tubes for another version of the Enigma!

WOW! Thanks Ted, exactly the information I was looking for.

Anyone that currenty have the Enigma and Powercell in their systems, please give us some more reviews...Thanks!
