Audience AR 12 TS vs Tesla PowerCell 10SE Mk III

@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.

Once the original Powercell was removed and replaced with the Audience there was a wide scale improvement in dynamics!

Jazzonthehudson... My system is all Theta Digital and dead quiet to begin with. I can't say the same about my Pioneer flat screen and Comcast cable box.

When I first got the aR6, my thoughts were that the aR6 was about as good as it'll ever get. When I hit the switch on the aR6TS, it was like a V-8 moment wondering how I hadn't noticed all the noise the aR6 left behind. Don't get me wrong, the aR6 was a giant leap forward for me but the aR6TS created an aura of a pitch black background. I now use the aR6 just for my flat screen and cable box.
