SR Tesla PowerCell or Dedicated Circuits ????

Jwpstayman,Gferrari Thank you for the comments.

Jwpstayman, Have you received your power cell? When you tried it, did you have all your equipment plugged into the power cell? If so, what type of mono blocks were you using?

Gferrari , Were you using dedicated outlets before then using the one outlet with the power cell?

See guys, my real problem is, I still can't believe that my Pass Labs X350.5 power hungary Amp that is now on a seperate dedicated 20 Amp line will sound better plugged into the power cell with all my other components sharing only just one outlet.

I am trying to demo a power cell, so far no luck...

Ozzy,
It will be a simple experiment to determine how your system sounds best- everything plugged into one PowerCell which is plugged into one circuit, or your line level components plugged into one PowerCell with you amps plugged directly into another circuit.

For the record, the PowerCell will not limit the current of one circuit; it would not even limit the current of TWO circuits (if this were possible). It will however not create more current then exists on one circuit.

The question is, will one of your circuits be enough to power your entire system, not can the PowerCell handle your systems current demands. The way I see it you should start by plugging your entire system into one PowerCell and then disconnect only your amplifiers and plug them directly into your other circuit. If your amps exceed the headroom of one circuit then you will need the power of an additional circuit. Though this is very uncommon, there are a few power hungry amplifiers that actually need all 20 amps. Even if this is the case, my guess is your system will take a dramatic leap forward from where you are now.

Ted, Thank you for the reply. What you have written about the capacity of one outlet circuit makes sense.

I have tried all of my equipment on one outlet, and yes, they will work electrically, without the breaker tripping.
However, using any power conditioner, like the Hydra 8 was definitly not as good thing as compared to going direct to the 3 dedicated wall outlets.
The sound was sort of compressed, just like in my original posting question.

After 4-5 months, and 3 dealers, one would think I would have been able to audtion a power cell.
To be totally honest here, the powercell is way too expensive to just buy and hope for the best.
And I would be disappointed if it only worked on my front end equipment.

Ozzy,
We have numerous dealers that facilitate auditions. Please PM me if you need a recommendation. By the way, for a limited time when you audition a PowerCells they come standard with a Teslaplex that you can keep even if you do not make a purchase.

Hey Ozzy,

Are you going to try a Powercell? I'm interested to hear about your findings.

My powercell SE is on its way and I should have it next week.

THANKS! Joe
