Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments?

I got my T3 for the QLS today and did something I shouldn't have.... I decided to try it out on my amp first. Just jaw dropping! I really wanted to keep it there but the QLS needed the longer cord.

Still quite an improvement putting the T3 on the QLS as it powers my preamp and CDP... but the bad thing is.. I MUST get a T3 for my amp now

*sigh*

Can someone explain the difference between the T3 and the T3 UHC? the UHC isn't even listed on SR's website and all the info I can find on other sites just rehash the T3 info.

I did notice on thecableco that the UHC has a 20amp IEC only? yet there are options for 15amp and 20amp so I'm confused.

The T3 UHC is a 10 gauge version of the standard T3. If you do not need the extra gauge of the T3 UHC, I think a standard T3 sounds best but if you need the extra current the UHC is your best bet. The T3 UHC was invented as a lower cost option for the PowerCell.

Shellie... do you know if it's true that the T3 UHC has a 20 amp IEC only?

This would be for an Ayre V5X-e... which has a 15amp IEC

Adwiegert,
When I played around with the T3 and T3 uhc both had 15 amp IEC's.

Danielle, Here is a QUATE from Ted_d from 8/8/08 in this tread. "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."
