Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments?

It can up to 12 or 6 pairs of interconnects.

Joeyboynj, do you think the power couplers need to be always plugged in for top performance. My EAD ac master 8000 has a trigger on it that my processor turns on and have the EAD modified with 18 total outlets. So I have 9 bottom outlets that allows me to plug up to 9 power adapters for the synergistic cables.

That allows me to turn on and off with the ead trigger the active shielding and its lights between every listening session.

So my cables would be getting fresh ac juice everytime I listen. You have noticed that it actually gets better over a process of about 7 days? Perhaps, my ead turning them off and on may be not the best thing?????

I will have to leave them on.

If they are rated at 100,000 as far as the lead lights then expect them to start burning out around 10 to 12 years or so. Theres almost 9,000 hours in a year. I have come across some used first gen active cables for sale that where said the lead light was out. So the first generation active will have their 100,000 hours in a couple years so I wonder if more of those are starting to burn out??

I like the lights and plan on keeping several of my x2 in my home theater for years as the tesla is not cost effective on everything but the more important channels and such. I will be bumming if or when they start burning out.

I just received my second pair of Tesla acoustic ref and will be putting those in this weekend. I am excited and will pass my thoughts.

Let me get this straight. If the light is out the active shielding is out. Not just the light out with it still active shielded.

So I think I was right then by having my ead power conditioner turn off all my active shielding when my processor triggers it off.

If some are claiming the active shielding works best when on a week straight then I would rather lose a slight bit of performance and allow my ead power condioner to turn them off after each use.So maybe they may slightly lack in performance by turning on and off with each use but at least I know they will last my life time

When augmenting tesla for my side surrounds its obviously not smart to upgrade till maybe 2040. Therefore, my Ead will turn them off when not in use! I'm glad I put that to rest for myself before easter weekend!

Leica man, If I where to leave my active shielding on a week to get best results then I realize to stay consistant, I need to leave my solid state stuff on for about a week before its at 100%.

I have read and some say that solid state (more so then tube) needs to be on a week before its sounding its best. Some audio letter just two weeks ago sent via the mail said that same thing. Perhaps some of you got the same newsletter. Never seen it before but it was a good read.

Therefore, why just go part way leaving on my active shielding when I don't leave my solid state on all the time and is robbed performance with just a two or so hour warm up.

As long as my processor and amp stay off, so do the cables! Good times...

Ozzy, I thought the same thing. In fact, I took one cable and started to take back the plastic coating to see what it would take for me to replace it. Well, it seem hard to roll the coating back and replace. You would have to tear off the heat shrink and reshrink it.

Leica, Joeyboynj...

I will have to take your advice. That sounds like a good Idea to try. I did have the active shielding on for a week before shutting it off last night and it was completely holographic though I have done a million other things. I am putting the house on the market and doing to many things to the system right now to ever make a solid comparison of leaving everything on. I have an ead 8300 amp and it gets way hot so I guess I could only leave the processor on. PROBLEM though. My processor turns on the amp so if my processor is always on then my amp is always on. I don't think my wife would get into getting up and walking to the walk in closet to turn the amp on manually to watch tv.

I do turn my system on 2 or 3 hours on the weekend before I will go in there. Do you guys know where the magic is before the cables really kick in. In other words, if the cables and such sound 75% at the 3 hour point thats not bad. Or is it days before they can get up to that high or higher?

fplanner, your insight has been intersting on what I think are two of the top cable companies around.

Its no surprise Rick was a gentleman which is why he's been my favorite audio designer!
