Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments?


I just bought Synergistic Research's new Tesla Accelerator speaker cables and Tesla Vortec interconnects from The Cable Company. I have tried many demo cables from The Cable Company over the past year. These were the first to give me that WOW factor I been looking for so long.

Does anyone have these cables and can you please post your impressions and comments? Thanks.

Ozzy, have you tried a dual Galileo mpc on your Powercell 10SE with the 32 Amp Precision AC. I have 2 dual Galileos and concerned with the effects. Should they be safe to try???

Regards Bacardi
Just an update on my recent Powercell 10SE purchase. It has settled in my system for about a month and just configured my subwoofer cord into the powercell yesterday. Several forums back nobody(that I noticed) replied to subwoofer/Powercell experimental conclusions. Even though it is just the factory SVS PB13Ultra cord and not a S.R Tesla T3, I will add the bass had tremendous volume, was extremely controlled, accurately fast and well defined at loud volumes.

I am really "wowed" at the difference plugging it into the Powercell10SE. I can just imagine what it will sound like in a few weeks and with a S.R Tesla T3 power cord.......

Ps. Just to refresh, I do have a Holgram A to power amp, T3 to pre, factory 58" plasma tv cord, T2 to Blu Ray, 2 double Galileo mpc's, + sub cord all plugged into the cell....

Has anyone put miggs on a carpetted floor and what were the results? My Powercell 10SE is on the floor with thin carpet and debating a set of miggs under it. Thx

I am looking to find Acrylic shelving for my equipment. I have a full S.R Tesla system with a Powercell 10SE and was suggested to me to get Acrylic for a shelf material as it will have the best results with the S.R active sheilding technology. I am also looking to purchase several sets of miggs to capitalize on the component tuning process which will be optimal with acrylic. I live in Canada so hopefully a close dealer would be preferred. Help anyone..Thx all...

Regards Bacardi
Just ordered a set of miggs today. Should receive them early next week. If I like on my Blu Ray player,, I will order two more sets for my pre amp and Powercell 10SE....

Has anyone used or know of the Quantum Ground Lifter. What is it's function???

Regards Bacardi
Thx all for the suggestions, I do like the analogue 5.1 from my Oppo SE so I will try slowly upgrading my old monster rca's to Alpha Sterlings X2 used or even Tesla Accelerator used. That would mean I will need more outlets for the MPC's so I will add a QLS 6 to the budget as my QLS 9 is full.

Regards Bacardi
Glory, lol...I agree with you. I think it is because the summer season everyone is outdoors enjoying weather, camping etc.... The fall will pick up for sure. If I win the lottery some day, I will have lots to spend and I will fill this thread with lots of fortune. My last piece to my system is a Hologram D for my Oppo BDP SE. Then onto speaker upgrades...

Regards Bacardi
Tvad and Tbg,
Here's a educational test for both of you. I have a SVS PB 13 Ultra with a Phase 2 RCA with a factory power cord, each of you in different thread tell me an upgraded RCA and power cord in the Tesla series for my beast. Let's get back to positive air....

Regards Bacardi
Is the Quantum ground lifter really needed for say a Precision AC 30amp that connects from a Powercell 10 SE to a wall Teslaplex???

Regards Bacardi
Fplanner2010, I did a switch to HDMI from Onkyo to analogue Oppo SE on-the-fly and the Oppo sounds better. For movies and easily the better for 2 channel. I think it openned a can of worms. Lol.

Regards Bacardi
Well I have inserted another 2 sets of miggs in my system. One set under my Powercell 10SE and another under my subwoofer, actually between the sub and my hifi pyon mythology platform. I inserted the miggs in pin-point imaging( 2 in front up-side-down and one right-side-up in middle in back) . I will post results in few days.

Regards Bacardi
KeithR. I let the miggs settle about a week longer for 100% break-in because the amount of bass information is minimal compared to a component running for longer time periods......

Regards Bacardi
Update:Miggs under subwoofer.(Pin-point soundstage config)

After a few weeks of the miggs under my SVS PB13 Ultra subwoofer & between my HifiPyon subwoofer platform the results were pretty noticeable. More detail, isolated and defined bass, acurately soundstages bass with refinment. If you walked in the room with your eyes covered and sat in an ideal seat, you couldn't even tell where the sub is sittuated...AWESOME.......Thumbs up miggs.....

I actually might put the miggs in the Ambient Soundstage Configuration and post my results...

Regards Bacardi
Tvad, THX. I should have mentioned your exact words in my earlier post

Keithr, When I had to move my 155lb subwoofer & 45lb platform to put the miggs under/between them I had to disconnect the active power cord/interconnect. Therefore the cord would need a re-charge to settle from being moved, thus the "a few weeks"....

Regards Bacardi
I am looking into a Synergistic research Tesla Reference XLR subwoofer cord for my subwoofer. Are there any differences in RCA and XLR. Anyone experience the differences??? It is a 3M length....

Regards Bacardi
Joeyboynj, I was waiting for someone to say that, perfectly said. Especially with you owning the thread.LOL. Anyhow..

I recently purchased an Oppo BDP 83SE and I am using 5.1 analogue and 2 channel analogue to my Onkyo Pro SC885 processor.

I have 8 old Monster cable series 1. 400 rca's and need to upgrade to S.R Tesla. Which do you recommend for the 2channel and which for the 5.1?????? THX

Regards Bacardi
Can anyone help me as to 5.1 channel analogue interconnects from my Oppo SE to my Onkyo SC 885 processor. I am tossing up either Active Alpha sterling X2 all around or maybe go for Tesla Accelerators. I have old Monster series 1 400's which are 20+ years old which I am using now(ARGGH!!).THX.....

Regards Bacardi
Ok. I know the differences in physicaI looks, I meant differences in quality of sound, background noise, bass extension......Will the XLR eliminate amp hum inside sub(SvS PB13 Ultra). All my other connections via pre-amp & analogue outs are RCA's. thx

Regards Bacardi
Tbg, my SVS PB13 Ultra has balanced inputs and outputs and so does my Pre processor. My initial question is, what beneficial qualities will I get with the XLR as opposed to using RCA's?? If any positive...

Regards Bacardi
Flashunlock, I have mine in pipoint position inbetween my SVS PB13 Ultra and my Hifi Pyon sub platform and I noticed great differences. The throw of bass is greater and sub is even less detected. The pitch is more controlled, well defined....I might try a set under my platform to the floor and take my custom feet off.

I wonder if Ted D. has had feedback on these under sub at all and with positive results maybe make a larger scale to accomodate a subwoofer or large speaker. Hint Hint....

Regards Bacardi
Anybody see or hear the new Powercell 4. Would it be overkill for powering Galileo mpc's???

Regards Bacardi
Replacing T3 on pre amp. Thoughts on a Hologram A or D. Anybody have advice? Ted D. supports the D. I have a D on my Oppo SE and a Hologram A on power amp. Anyone...

Regards Bacardi
Thaxn Sabai, Have you tried the Teslaplex SE or the Big miggs at all?

Regards Bacardi
Thx all. Ted; I am running analogue 5.1 & 2.1 from Oppo SE so I am not utilizing digital at all, just analogue, hense the Hologram A, correct.

Regards Bacardi
Ted

When you say that a system benefits from at least one Precision AC, does that include the 30 AMP Precision AC on my Powercell 10SE?

Regards Bacardi
Ozzy, I did find the T3 better than the T2. I had auditioned a Hologram A way back but was brand new and probably hadn't settled enough. I found it to be a little smothered sounding. I might try a Precision AC. I have an A on my amp and D on my BDP(Oppo SE)

regards Bacardi
Airportsyndrome, I actually have them in pin-point configuration( 2 back one front) and noticed a difference in imaging mostly. It tightened the bass up and seems more controlled. The thing is I have a Hifi Pyon 1.5 inch thick Parkawood platform with resonance controlling feet with bearings and I put the migs under sub and top platform. I might try another set under platform and top carpet and take off feet.

Also I might switch to 2 migs in front / one back as the 13.5 driver and magnet weigh more than rear. My subs weight is 155lbs. Try lifting that yourself and place migs under(lol). Good thing I workout..

I think Ted D. mentioned larger miggs coming out ..

Regards Bacardi
Tbg, sounds promising. I still would like to hear the powercell 10SE next to the 4, if the 4 doesn't compare, that's alot to pay for 4 outlets and factory cord..Are the new PC cords part of Tesla line or higher up?

Regards Bacardi
Joeyboynj, let us know how the TeslaplexSE sounds. I want to purchase two and a Large Migg set..

Regards Bacardi
Anyone try the S.R quantum tunneled HDMI? Anyone have anything to compare it to? I ordered a 3 meter to try out...thx...

Regards Bacardi
What is the common shelving(stand) or your preferred shelving(stand) for components with Synergistic Research Active series cords which would best utilize the technology of all the S.R products? All comments appreciated :):):)

THX

Regards Bacardi
I have miggs between my SVS PB13 Ultra subwoofer and my 1.5 inch thick custom Parkawood Platform with coned bearing feet and you talk about bass, my processor sub volume is -12 out of (-15|15). the volume on the sub is at it's detent half.

Miggs also under Powercell 10SE & Oppo SE. The amount of bass is very balanced as my 5 channel Paradigm Signature S1's have only 5.25 midrange drivers.

Regards Bacardi
Anybody have Tranquility Base auditions, reviews or feedback?
Can it be used in conjunction with a Powercell 10 SE?
Can you power it with a Galileo MPC?

Regards Bacardi
Ideally, put a dual Galileo on your Powercell. One to the powercell and other to the Powercells powercord for maximum quality.

Regards Bacardi
Can anyone comment on the new SE series power cords and how the differences in the three coloured adaptors make in the sound? How do they compare to the previous line?

Regards Bacardi
I have had a brand new Hologram D SE for a few days now and have only tried the grey bullets so far. Out of the box I likey....Definitely more dynamics, resolution and impact. Still some break-in time so lots of testing to do. Waiting for my new T3SE and Hologram A SE to follow. Pretty good so far compared to the old version. My thumbs are up.

Regards Bacardi
Anyone try the new Teslaplex SE and what are the differences to the old version in sound quality?

Regards Bacardi
Tbg, does the Precision AC have two connectors for the coloured plugs and one for the MPC or one and one?

Regards Bacardi
Tbg, are the Galileo element cables new and can you describe them.

Regards Bacardi
Anybody try big miggs and how much difference are they compared to the small miggs?

Regards Bacardi
Thx Scotty333, I'm going to audition a Basik under my Oppo 95.

Regards Bacardi
LOL. I like that "Capice". When I was little my italian father said that alot to me. Can anyone comment on the new Teslaplex SE and how it changes the sound if noticeable.

Regards Bacardi
Thx TBG. I am awaiting two Teslaplex SE's from Scott from Scott Walker Audio. Also just received from Scott a Hologram A(SE) and a Hologram D(SE) and waiting for them two beak in. Scott's a great guy to deal with and very quick,helpful,discrete and educated in the field. I am just amazed at this SE line of cords. Anyone have any feedback on the SE line compared to the old Tesla line?

Regards Bacardi
Lol. Actually Joeyboynj, I like the silver as it is a mix of both, I've yet to try my T3SE on my subwoofer. One question, if you had a single lead Galileo mpc what would you place it on? Powercell, precision AC for powercell, power amp, pre pro. All my other 4 Galileo mpc's are dual lead. Thx

Regards Bacardi
MERRY CHRISTMAS to all the Synergistic Research fans and Ted D. and everyone at S.R. Hope everyone had a safe and great holiday and best in THE NEW YEAR.

Best Regards Bacardi:)
I need some ideas on my QLS6 & 9. They are almost full with Galileo mpc's and are raised off the carpet by Hifi Pyon cable elevators but the problen I have is the QLS pivots down towards the side the MPC's are plugged into and is not stable. Does anyone mount it on a wall or anything else? I would think on a wall the subwoofer would vibrate the QLS and interfere with the whole idea of vibration control. Any Ideas??
Reading the forum and I agree with Sabai. I have a full home theater setup of S.R Tesla SE power cords , interconnects , speaker wire and two QLS's. All have a single/dual Galileo MPC. My wires are neatly arrayed in a sequence of direction with wife friendly appeal. I have all my components on floating shelves awaiting some Tranquility Bases for each component with miggs between each.

The only thing I didn't like about upgrading from previous series is that the regular mpc's are obsolete with the Galileo MPC. I couldn't get any dollar or trade value for my old MPC. But someone new can buy one for $125 from a dealer. Whys that? $400 compared to $125 is huge difference. But for the difference in quality I guess it works out.
