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

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.

Well said Jim, You know your system the best and done your research and I'm sure you are satisfied with the results.

I dont use the T2 in my system, I found it to be too neutral. I preferred the Precision AC, Holograms and the T3 PC's. They all sound different. But do have a house sound I love.

I used to have the Signature 10's and compared to the new Tesla SC, I found them to be dry. Have you considered a speaker cable upgrade? If you dont want to spend the cash on a Synergistic upgrade. Give Morrow Audio speaker cables a try. Very lively and huge soundstage with a 60-day money back guarantee. And Mike will make the cables to any lengh. Its worth a try.

I appreciate the thoughts herein. Thanks.

Sig 10 x2 active speaker cables sound dry? ....I'd beg to differ with you on that point alone. Until the shielding is fully active, I'd say yes... afterwards though, I'd say no.

I needd to get off that fence I'm sure and really get serious as to another speaker cable upgrade perhaps, but truth be told, they seem to really get out of the way in my deal very well indeed.

Add to that I'd prefer to move my 2 ch gear closer to the speakers first and cut the length and associated costs by perhaps more than half I suspect. Albeit then what? I'm thinking maybe Nirvana SX Ltds there too... if they are like their IC siblings.

I'll remain mindful of your suggestion however... it would be nice to not have to plug into the wall, yet more cabling.
