Ozzy, you should really try Precision Reference from pre to amp, that is what that cable is designed for. |
Foster, thanks for the candid response. I am a little dis-hearted to hear that, but hopefully I will have different results.
Do you have any other Synergistic Cables in your system? |
I will be ordering a T3 today for my McCormack DNA-500 Amp. I have Tesla Accelerator Bi-Wire Speaker Cables. I am looking forward to seeing what the T3 will add. Any thoughts? |
I ordered my T3 yesterday for my McCormack amp. Has anyone else experianced the Fatiguing that Foster did? |
Has anyone here done any comparisions between the Accelerator and the Acoustic Reference Speaker Cable? I am told that the Acoustic Reference will add more warmth, is that true? Is there anything else? |
Leica_man, thank you for the advice. I will certainly do the 96 hour test, or as close as I can make it :)
I am glad to hear of your positive experiences. I am going to start with the T3 and hope to eventually be able to move to a Hologram. I am so impressed with what Synergistic has achieved with the Tesla series. |
Is there anywhere I can read more information about the new Powercells? I cannot seem to find anything. |
I am very excited, my dealer is sending me 2m Accelerator interconnects to try from pre-amp to amp and a 1m pair of both Accelerator and Accoustic Reference to try from source to pre-amp. This should really help me to hear the difference between Acoustic Reference and Accelerator, and which my system prefers. With the exception of one Power Cord, it will also let me experience an all Tesla system for the first time. I will have everything Monday, so it should be a fun week... |
Last night was my first time sitting down to listen to the T3 power cord I installed Monday afternoon on my McCormack DNA-500. Per Joey's suggestion I have left the amp on continuous since then. I also re-inserted my Accelerator speaker cables. All I can say is, WOW! This is the first time my speakers have truly dissapeared. I know that none of these cables are anywhere near broken in, but I am very pleased. So much so I think I "need" a T2 for my Modwright LS 36.5 pre-amp. There is something to be said for the synergy of these cables playing off of one another.
My only drawback is that I have lost a little warmth. I attribute this not to a defficency in the Synergistic cables, but I think the Nordost i was using before was giving me too much midrange. So, I am having to re-adjust a bit. I am also thinking about trying a pair of Acoustic Reference interconnects between my source to pre to see how that plays in with everything else. I would say my Accelerator cables have not much more than 100 hours on them and my T3 only has about a day of being on and 4 hours of run time, so I know there is much, much more to come. |
I am confused. Because I am having positive results with some new cables, I am contributing to hype? I would think true users results is the antithesis of hype. |
Jmo, can you tell me what your thoughts are betwwen Accelerator IC's and Acoustic Reference IC's? I will be demoing myself next week but I would love to know your thoughts. |
I have a T3 on my amp and a T2 on my source. Since I cannot swing the cost of a Hologram what would you guys suggest I try on my Transport? Also, which cords have you guys tried on Power Conditioners? Thanks so much for the help. |
Jmo, don't forget about me :)
You were going to give me your thoughts on Accelerator and Acoustic Reference Interconnects. |
Well, I know understand tha too much of a good thing is just that. I am currently demoing Accelerator inteconnects from pre-amp to amp, as well as Accelerator and Acoustic Reference from Source to Pre. It should be noted that I already run Accelerator Speaker Cable.
With all Accelerator in my system things sound just a little to fast for me. To the point it was a tad harsh, but that may have dissapeared with a little more break-in time? While I had excellent detail and imaging, I just lost a little connection with the music. I then replaced the Accelerator IC from source to pre with the Acoustic Reference, and it was pure magic! I did not lose any of the detail but I seemed to gain a little depth to the music. Everything became a little more robust and full sounding again. I now fully understand the synergy among these cables, and it is fantastic! |
Foster, thanks for the suggestion. However, my reasoning for switching between the Accelerator and Acoustic Reference interconnect comes straight from Ted D himself. With all other Tesla cables in place you can do a quick A/B from source to pre to see what works best. After that is established, then you should let all the cables settle in to optimize the sound. |
I would say you will probably have the best success using Accelerator as your speaker cable and Acoustic Reference as an interconnect from source to pre. Precision Reference is the step up from Accelerator staying the same family, Acoustic Reference is a different sound. And of course APex is a combination of AR and PR. |
I use the Tesla T3 on my Spectron.
SR need to do a major update to their website!! They are the first manufacturer to build products for sale and not tell anyone about them. |
I should be ordering a Powercell 10 SE (32A, Precision AC, etc.) later this week. Once I break it in I will post some impressions of it. |
For those of you that are using TeslaPlexs, what wall plates are you using with it? Is there a particular plate that SR recommends? |
I received my Powercell 10 SE yesterday and the build quality is absolutely incredible. The high-gloss casing is beautiful. I will report back once I have some hours on it.
I would think the Oyaide wall plate would be a nice upgrade over the standard one. I would assume it at the very least has less resonance.

Guys, I know the SR states on their site that the material the powercell is made of is resistant to scratches, but be careful!! I was so careful with placing mine in my rack due to the piano finish but mine lightly touched the hinge on my Salamander stand. The chassis itself is not scratched but the side of the faceplate is. Even though it is a small scratch it is a total bummer. So I just wanted to put it out there to the rest of you guys to be extra careful. |
