Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments?

I don't find I need to upgrade continuously. I am happy with the sound of my system. I don't let what a manufacturer does push me into upgrading just because he came out with a new line. For instance, I have no intention of buying the new Element cables. If I had a bottomless wallet and if there was something lacking in the sound of my system I might be interested. But such is not my case -- wallet-wise or sound-wise. There has to be an end to it all. Otherwise you are on an endless treadmill where you are never satisfied and always in the upgrade-and-test mode. Never enough -- an audio junkie.

I have a full blown 5.1 Home theater system and upgrading can be extremely pricy. Definitely most with just a two channel system upgrading can be done with simple pairs of everything but as you have 5.1 or 7.1 then your wallet starts to get lighter. I find it a great hobby as long as I pace(budget) wisely to do the upgrades.

Seems as if many here are paying for the cost of perpetual R&D and the purchase of all prototyping. Tom

Tom,
Actually the TESLA Series was launched in late 2006. A five year production run seems like a healthy life span for any cable line, don't you think? What we have done as a company is to branch out into several new product categories. Understandably this can create the impression of constantly changing products when in fact we are simply offering new product solutions like vibration control, room acoustics, AC Duplexes, line conditioning and soon, fuses.

Offering new product solutions in categories SR has traditionally never occupied cannot be counted as replacing existing SR products; we are simply addressing new aspects of system synergy by developing solutions outside of cables while continuing to advance the state-of-the-art in cable design.

Ted, I am very happy to hear about the fuses. Are you starting with top quality fuses before using the Tesla coil?
