Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments?

Cable Company sent my goodies box today. I got the Galileo Speaker and IC cells to go with my Apex speaker cables and IC between my Berkeley DAC to ASR Emitter Exclusive II to Usher Be-20. I am impressed. Granted it has no time to break in yet but after hooking up everything, right away, there seems to be more clarity, bass has better definition and pitch, detail is even better while at the same time, there is no sacrificing of the warmth, rich sound at all. Voice and violin are smoother, more liquid. Background noise is much much reduce (not that it was noisy before but I did not know it could be this quiet).

I got some MIGs for my components and ERS paper for my computer server as well but I think I will wait a few days before installing these toys so I can see the effects of the IC and Speaker Cells first.

My only complains, after being box envy with my friend's MIT stuffs, SR plastic box just does not look quite so impressive :) IC box also is quite light so it would not sit on my shelf behind my DAC with the Apex hanging from it so for now the box is dangling midair. I hope that's ok.

The tails for the speaker cells looks like longer version of SR jumper cables and IC cells tail looks a bit puny next to Apex. So far, my complains have more to do with looks rather than sound which is a good thing, I suppose.

Suteetat, I just learned that the plastic boxes of the Universal Interconnect Cells are intended to dangle off the shelf. where your preamp is. I had managed to keep them on the shelf, using a heavy Walker weight. I introduced my preamp to amp set first and have now had them on for three days. I was trying to figure out how I was going to put the source to preamp set, when I learned they could dangle, so I have not introduced them yet. SR even suggests that dangling is optimal.

I totally agree with what you hear and would add that bass is much more defined and profound.

Quick question on speaker cells, each cell has 3 connectors for single, bi and tri-wire, since there is no instruction and no marking on those connectors, can I use any set of connectors for high and low in case of bi-wire or is there any specific order I that I suppose to use.
Currently I have low pass connect to the middle connector (let say middle one is No.2 and the other connector is No. 1 and 3). At least on one cell, there was no sound coming out of the tweeters when I had the high pass connect to connector 3 but when connect to No.1, it was working fine. I am not sure if No.3 connector is broken or if I suppose to use connector going from 1 to 2 to 3 for single, bi and tri wire?

Suteetat,
I had assumed that they were all in common. I would call SR.

Well, I have now put Universal Cells on my speaker wires about a month ago, on my preamp to amp ics about a week ago, and on my digital source to preamp ics, about two hours ago. I had deliberately installed them one by one although Mr. Denney had told me that the completion of the connections would be better than the sum of the individual Cell contributions. But stubborn I am.

I heard a major jump in clarity, ease, bass, top end extension and sweetness when I put on the Universal Speaker Cells. Mr. Denney had said that I would, and he was right.

When I the two sets of Universal Interconnects Cells arrived, I figured that the part for between the preamp and amp would improve all of my inputs, two digital (Mac Server and Exemplar/Oppo 83) and vinyl (Bergman Sindre and Ortofon A-90 cartridge). When I did figure out how to install it with in on the shelf of my rack behind the preamp, it was a nice improvement with all the characteristics listed above.

I have just installed the final set on my digital input. With them hanging down from the preamp. I listened immediately to be sure that all was well. It was. But as I sat there I heard improvements. Before taking off to do some business, I listened to the FIM K2 Sampler focusing on Touch, Pachelbel's Canon in D, and several others in between. Each cut sounded better

On returning I have relistened to many of these cuts and others. It would be hard to overstate what I hear. The clarity, sweetness, ease, bass, and ultimately realism and the overall sense of presence are just amazing. I already know I will need and additional set of source to preamp Universal Interconnect Cells. And these things are not inexpensive, but I may be avoiding a much more expensive amp and preamp. I don't want to think too much about how these would make my system sound with such expensive electronics. My point is merely to suggest the Universal Cells may represent the contributions of much more expensive electronics.

Suteetat, I put the first set into the dangling position and heard no change.
