Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments?

Adwiegart,

I use the Alan Maher Ref. II to best effect with the Powercell 10 SE. It works better ahead of the Precision AC, which comes with the 10 SE, rather than plugged into the 10 SE's outlets.

The Alan Maher Infinitys or CBFs, (Circuit Breaker Filters) are very good at clarifying the sound, when used in the breaker box. There are lots of fields in a breaker box because the wires must be unparalleled in order to route the hot wires through the individual breakers. I suspect this is whythese tow products are less effective on powercords and other paralelled AC wires.

I use a PE V Pro plugged into a transformer, which is plugged into the wall.
I find it best to not plug AC enhancers or other PLCs into the Powercell 10 SE. It's qualities seem to be best achieved by having the 10 SE as the last devise before the component, especially source components.

And thanks to tbg for the advise on getting the Speaker Cells next.

What I have found is the midrange is so much better than before that I had to change the settings on the Sound Labs.I had the midrange knob set to its lowest setting to keep bloating from occuring. After about 4 weeks of breakin on the Tesla power cell 10SE I was able to adjust the midrange on the Sound Labs to the max setting. This brought out a weight and luciousness that I never thought possible. When I first got the powercell the obvious improvement was bass and highs. Now it is ALL better to the point of real satisfaction.

Just an update on my recent Powercell 10SE purchase. It has settled in my system for about a month and just configured my subwoofer cord into the powercell yesterday. Several forums back nobody(that I noticed) replied to subwoofer/Powercell experimental conclusions. Even though it is just the factory SVS PB13Ultra cord and not a S.R Tesla T3, I will add the bass had tremendous volume, was extremely controlled, accurately fast and well defined at loud volumes.

I am really "wowed" at the difference plugging it into the Powercell10SE. I can just imagine what it will sound like in a few weeks and with a S.R Tesla T3 power cord.......

Ps. Just to refresh, I do have a Holgram A to power amp, T3 to pre, factory 58" plasma tv cord, T2 to Blu Ray, 2 double Galileo mpc's, + sub cord all plugged into the cell....

Last week I started experimenting with the MIGS. I put a set underneath my DAC prototype which had just been sitting on my Esoteric clock. I really wasn't expecting much, if any difference. I was wrong - On ambient, they were awful.

In the "pinpoint" configuration, they got a lot better, now slightly exceeding the performance of the DAC directly on top of the clock. My system is back to life, plus a bit better imaging. The clock is sitting directly on my Esoteric Transport, which in turn is sitting upon 3 Cerapucs. I will probably do some more experimentation putting MIGs under the clock, but only after I figure out what to do with the preamp below.

Yesterday, I put a another set under my VAC preamp, also in the pin-point position. These are replacing FI Cerapucs that were under the preamp. So far, the MIGs seem a bit brighter, with a bit better bass and also a bit better imaging, but I will have to give these several more days of comparison to determine which I prefer under the preamp.

I will also be getting a set of Speaker-cells to demo in a few weeks. I'm being very careful to add things slowly, in order to clearly identify which addition/replacement is responsible for the subtle (or not so subtle) changes to my system.

Just my $.02. Hope this helps.

Fplanner, the MIGs are curious-they break in. Also positioning has a big impact on their sound. I have no experience using them between components, however.

You are quite right about going slowly. I changed speakers, a preamp, and added the SR Universal Cells at the same time. I love my new sound but am having trouble understanding what is mainly important.
