Preamp PC - Elrod Sig II or SR Tesla T2 or ??

I need to improve upon my pc situation at the preamp.

I've heard many good things on the SR T2 tesla line pc.... and have an Elrod Sig III supplying a RSA Haley which in turn feeds the mono blocks, and would also likely feed the Thor line stage preamp.

Any thoughts on these two or another pc for my preamp would be appreciated a lot.

Thanks much

A question for all you Synergistic fans. I just got a Powercell 6 with the Synergistic T3 UHC going to the wall, which I really enjoy. I am currently using non-Synergistic powercords (VH Audio Airsine and Flavor 4) hooked up to my integrated amp and CD player, but was thinking of going with Synergistic T3's. Do you think this will improve the sound of my system with the Powercell? I just got a Gabriel Gold Rapture right before I decided to try the Powercell and I'm very happy with it and don't want to give it up. Any issues with keeping that in my system if PCs are all Synergistic or do you think a Synergistic IC would make a further improvement? I also plan to get a Teslaplex outlet. I have an FIM 880, which I've liked,but seems like the Teslaplex is a no-brainer.

There is a definite synergism between the SR cords. However, all systems are different and the amount of difference/improvement you hear may or may not be significant to you. The interconnects DEFINITELY do matter as well

Probably the best thing for you to do is experiment, probably through renting various SR cables/pcs through the Cable Company. Just be sure and let them break into the system for at least several days before doing any critical evaluation. Good luck.

Hchilcoat, get the Teslaplex first. Then try a T3 on integrated and T2 on CDP. If you want a bigger warmer sound go for a T3 on the CDP. If you like neutral and airy stay with the T2. The Synergistic interconnects are all different. I'd say try an Accelerator for fast and neutral or an Acoustic Reference, which I think is better but warmer and nicly extended in the bass and treble over the Accelerator.

Hchilcoat,
I agree with Fplanner2000 and Joeyboyn, there is tremendous synergism going on between the SR power cords and ICs, but as I posted above , when used with the Teslaplex wall outlets,the system synergy is unbelievable.The Teslaplex outlets take the ICs and PWs to a new level

Many cable companies affect great synergy if all their cables are used throughout in a system. Not just SR. many.

I like the idea of mixing and matching the component to the power cord. Which means sometimes 'same same' along the way, and sometimes not. it also depends on just where you are in the mix too. Wanna start all over aghain? Just getting into it? etc.

...and then there is the notion that some cables from differing makers, play well together... and there's a 'house' sound to contend with now and then too.

Either way... all alike or all different, no one can say for sure how you will like it. As the T2 did several things very well, lots of detail, resolution, and lessend noise floor, I didn't care for the somewhat dryer conveyance of the music I heard with it in the mix.

Again, my own preffs not withstanding, I'm not keen on having to outfit my whole rig with one line up to reveal it's best attributes either.
