Audience AR 12 TS vs Tesla PowerCell 10SE Mk III

Chayro, could you elaborate on the improvement of the T versus the non T version? I have currently an AR12 and am thinking of an upgrade. The 12T comes up sporadically whereas the 12TS understandably much less frequent on the used market. If the T is not that much of a difference I may as well go for alternatives (I do have the Shunyata Titan in mind but forgot to mention that, thanks Franks for bringing that up) and/or upgrade my first leg of power cord which is currently NordOst Valhalla.

For a higher return I will upgrade my wall sockets, currently have Wattgate 381 and SR Tesla SE, will add Maestro and Furutech GTX-R to the mix and see which ones works best where (2 music and 1 HT system). For that end, I have acquired a PI Audio Ueberbuss and will replace the standard sockets with 3 variants so it easier to switch for testing purposes. The Ueberbuss is not bad at all by itself but aren't most of us searching for the last 5% or 10% of improvement?

I have both an aR6 and an aR6TS. Fooling around one day I put a Shakti Stone on top of the aR6TS and on top of that I put a VPI Brick. I don't know if it was the weight of the VPI Brick damping cabinet vibrations or the voodoo magic of the Stone and the Brick, all I can say is the combination worked magic.

@Jazzonthehudson - I never got around to the AU24 Powerchord, but I would venture a guess that it would be a significant improvement and - 30 day money back. I'm going to do it when I have the chance. I remember the T as being quite a step up in terms of the purity of timbre of instruments, but remember, I listen to 90% classical and acoustic jazz, so I think the difference shows up more than if one listens to electronica or the like. Personally, if you like the AR12, I would stick with Audience, unless you want to go the Cable Co route, which is also cool if you have the inclination. But again, I wouldn't overlook the Powerchord.

I owned the original SR Powercell and once I compared it to the Audience AR2P-TO I bought 3 of them for each dedicated line.
I know not exactly what you wanted to compare to , but it was what I experienced.

Chayro,
As my moniker indicates, I am also into jazz and classical; occasionally I put on a classic rock track, probably driven by nostalgia.
I will try the AU24 or probably the AU24SE PC. The Valhalla offers a lot of speed and transparency but lacks other traits. Audience SE series interconnects and speaker cables IME are quite a step up from their E series cables and I see them in some real high end systems.

Raks,
Can you describe the diff between the AR6 and AR6TS? I believe in tweaks but never tried the Shakti stones; I do have good results with WA Quantum chips, they are a must in fuses (stock or better still, the usual suspects of after market fuses). In the AR12 case, I put it on the Neutrik connector or close to it.

A nice side effect is that we get exposed to many disciplines of material science besides the expected ones in wave dynamics and electrical signal transmission; hearing is believing!

Ozzy,
How would you describe the improvement of the aR2p-TO vs the original Powercell 10?

TIA

In the mean time I will upgrade my Ueberbuss with Furutech GTX-R sockets and see what it gives.
