Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments?

Joeyboynj, SR does provide a Precision AC on the PowerCell. They also recommend it for large tube amps and some ss amps. On the two ss amps where I tried it, the Hologram A was quite superior.YMMV.

I compared the Precision AC to T3 UHC I have on my Krell amp. The Precision AC was more detailed but I found the T3 UHC to be more balanced/natural sounding/musical.

Based on that experience, I would tend to agree that the Precision AC would be a good match for some tube amps per Tbg.

It really depends on your equipment which cable you will like since they are all voiced differently. The Precision AC sounds better than the T2 or T3 on my Levinson 32 preamp. I just did an interesting experiment; I replaced the T2 on my Quattro (runs 12 cables) with a T3, and then a Precision AC. I did this over several days as the cables need some time on the Quattro. The Precision was significantly better than the other 2 cables. The midrange was more forward with greater bloom. Better detail and resolution.

Now Ted has new speaker cables to replace my Apex cables. He is a bad but brilliant fellow!

Splashkin I called SR on Friday and had a long conversation with Ted regarding the new cables. It seems there is not only a new flagship SC but also a new IC as well. They employ electromagnetic cells at either end of the cables (think mini powercells made of silver and gold at the beginning and end of each cable) with four seperate cables running inbetween the cells. The cables or strings as he called them are either pure gold or silver with an air dialectric and active shielding. You can swap any combo of gold or silver strings to tailor the sound of the cable to match your system and personal taste. He also indicated the cables come with a full compliment of silver and gold strings standard.

When I asked the price he said the cables were "orders of magnitude" more expensive to manufacture then Apex and will carry a very high price tag- think new German M badged automobile. Yikes!

I know.... and I can't wait to hear them at RMAF this year :)
