Synergistic Research Quattro multi supply ?'s


I am considering picking up a Quattro power supply to power the activive shielding on my I/C's and speaker cables. Has anyone upgraded to the Quattro from the MPC's and if so did you notice any change in sound? Did it actually make things easier to route or not worth the extra dough? How much do the Quattro's run and now many connections are supplied with the unit? Thanks for any help in advance!

Leica Man: How do you like the New Tesla Precision Reference over the Accelerator speaker cable? Do you think upgrade to Quattro is worth the extra $$$?
Joeyboynj,
The Quatro is worth the cash IF you use a high end power cord. It seems that the Quatro imparts the sonic characteristics of it's power cord to the cables it's powering. Also my system is going 100% Synergistic Research Tesla so it's either get a Quatro or deal with a bunch of MPC's so yes it's worth it.

As to the Precision Reference speaker cables I need to back up a little . I was a long time Designers Reference user who switched to Valhalla looking for more speed and detail. I missed the DR's warmth, bloom and low frequency impact and sound staging but on the whole preferred the Nordost's speed, transparency and detail- very nice. I then auditioned the Tesla Accelerators interconnects and speaker wires more curious then anything and was blown away. I had more detail and speed then I had been getting with the Nordost and got back the warmth, low frequencies and sound staging I had missed in my Designers Reference with even more of the good DR stuff then I remembered. Then when I was getting ready to sell my Nordost I put the Valhalla's back in my system just to make certain and sure enough the Accelerator system sounded better. I then put just the Accelerator interconnects back in the system and actually preferred the Nordost Valhalla speaker wires to my Accelerators. To be fair the Accelerators cost $1200 for an 8ft pair and the Nordost's cost me $6800 for the pair so I decided to step up to Precision Reference. Hold the presses. The sound stage got bigger, the mid range more layered and the highs more transparent and the whole presentation was more natural and musical then anything I have ever heard before- for 2800 bucks! So do I like my Precision Reference speaker wires? HELL YES!!!
Blast. I simply must suck it up and go with an Accelerator audition. I just purchased my speaker wire IC's less that one year ago and it seams that it simply may just be Tesla time. Used cables for sale anyone? :)

Question.. I am currently going with the bi-wire option on my speaker terms and I see the Tesla cables have a non-internal bi-wire option.... any thoughts on going with that vs/ the standard terms using the jumpers or other wire?
Harris,
They have a different way of bi-wiring the Tesla speaker wires (mine are bi-wired). Check Synergistic’s website as I read a whole page on the pros and cons of different bi-wire options (and why theirs is the best option of course : )
Leica_man, I sure hope you are correct, regarding the soundstage....I will know tomorrow(all apex)with QUATRO
