SR Tesla PowerCell or Dedicated Circuits ????


I am really interested in the Synergistic Powercell after enjoying much success with the Tesla Cables.

Presently, I have 3 dedicated circuits.
*One circuit is for all my Video which is plugged into a Hydra 8.
*One circuit for my CD Player and Preamp.
*One Circuit for my Amplifier.

So my question is this.

Can using the SR Powercell with using just one wall outlet while plugging everything into it be better than using the present 3 dedicated circuits ?

My past experience with any conditioner says no.

There is nothing on the SR website.

Equipment
I have a Pass Labs X350.5 Amp, a Pass Labs XP-10 Preamp and a Cary 306 SACD player.

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...
Ted, Thanks. So far my dealers do not have any to demo.
I should also add that all my power cables, interconnects, and speaker cables are the Tesla cables.
Jwpstayman, Hard to believe, but thanks thats great to know.
Curious though, you said when you used it.
Does that mean you do not own one ?
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.
Joeyboynj,
Thanks to Ted and one of his dealers ,I just got a power cell to try yesterday .
Gferrari, Thanks for your kind response. I am still playing around with the Power Cell , so far it sounds good.

Right now I am having a location issue.
That is, my Amp sits about 8 feet from the powercell and the Amp's power cable wont reach the power cell.
So, I am in the process of moving equipment around to better hear it all on one system.
If I am able, I thought I would play the system on the one circuit for a week then switch to the seperate circuits.

Question: The SE version uses the Precision Ref power cable with a 32 Amp connector, but I am told it is the same cable as there 15A version.
Why is that cable not beefed up like the one used with the Power cell 10 ? The power cell 10 uses the T3 UHC cord?
Joeyboynj, Thanks for the info.
I own a Balanced Precision Ref interconnect and it doesnt look like much in diameter compared to the Apex.
So,I guess I was thinking the power cord would also be a small gauge size.
I wish there was a picture of the cable on the web site and/or info as to the wire gauge.

Anyway, I went ahead and ordered the Powercell 10 SE.
Did yours take long to break in ?
I just posted a review of the PowerCell 10 and SE version.
It is listed in the Product Reviews under Accs-AC Filter
