Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments?

Quick question on IC EM cell units. I have Apex IC (single end) between my DAC to my Intergrated amp (ASR Emitter II). There are a few variants of the IC Cell units, source to pre or source to Integrated amp. I plan to get new Apex IC with XLR/Cells unit which then will give me the choice of hooking it to usual balance input on the preamp section or directly to the amp section, using digital variable output on the DAC, bypassing the preamp section all together. I am not sure which route I would choose as I need to experiment with both before deciding. However, now I am not sure which IC Cells I should get and how much would it make a different if I pick source to pre vs source to intergrated. Berkeley DAC recommends bypassing preamp so that might be the way I want to go but I may also be changning from Berkeley to something else again

Has anyone compared powercell 10SE to Dimitri (Running Springs Audio)?

I had the Dimitri in since Feb 22, still sounds lean but great in every other aspect. But I am not sure I can live with lean. I 'heard' the powercell 10se may be lush which is what I am looking for I think. Maybe Dimitri shows how my stereo really sounds. Teajay are you there? I am wondering if you tried that comparisoon (Powercell v Dimitri), you had good things to say about Dimitri.

System spendor sp1 spkrs, transparent super cables all around, levinson 27.5 amp, Audio research sp9 preamp mark 3, sim andromoeda cd player, linn lp12 ittok shure v15 type 5 mr cartridge. Records sound more lush than my cd player, but maybe due to ittok arm (midbass bump?).

Good things about Dimitri, tonal purity, dynamics, detail, clarity. Some recording are just not well balanced I am finding out.

Now here is the issue. If my stereo really sounds this way, so be it. Its the old truth versus beauty argument. Thanks for reading.

Joeyboynj, doesn't a Precision with the special chassis mount come with the PowerCell 10SE?

Yes TBG, a Percision AC power cord comes with the Powercell 10SE it has a 32 amp powercon connector and can only be used on the Powercell 10 SE.

Barcardi, no the MPC's in the bottom outlets do not clear the bottom when using the MIGS. I had to place an additional 1 inch under the MIG's for the MPC's to clear. I happened to have 3 Herbie's Audio SuperSonic Stabilizers that are 1 incg thick to raise the MIG's higher. A small piece of wood would also do the trick.

Ok guys, I am going to try one set of the MIGS's.

The BIG quaestion is where will it have the best impact??

1. I have a Cary 306 Pro which has huge spiked feet that I dont think should be removed.

2. I have a Cary XP-10 Preamp

3. Pass Labs X350.5 Amp (150 lbs)

4. and a Powercell 10SE which nows has high sharp composite spikes underneath it.

5. alll SR cables , interconnects, speaker, power.

So, again where is the best place to place one set based on my system???
