Thanks for the info everyone.
I do have both the T3 and T3 UHC. I really like the warmth of these cables. So, if I go with a Hologram A will I lose any of this warmth? |
I have a Galileo on its way. Can anyone tell me how long they take to fully break in? I plan on using it on my PowerCell se. If that works out, I will try one on my Hologram D. So, I would like to from any one who has tried a G-MPC on a Hologram D and another PC. Not sure if mixing a digital power cord and a T3 would be detrimental or not. |
Hello Teslaphiles,
I would like to know if any of you have had the chance to try out the Tesla D3 or D2 digital cables. I am currently using an Illuminati D60 on a Bel Canto Dac 3. I recently upgraded to the Hologram D pc and I am blown away. Along with the powercell se, and T3's my system has so much air it would be hard to believe that there is room for any more.
So, if anyone would like to share I would be interested in your findings. |
I would like to hear from those of you how have had a chance to compare the T3 UHC PC to the Hologram A PC. |
Hi everyone, Does anyone know if it would be okay to use a dual lead Galileo mpc on a D2 digital ic. Is it possible that the spare lead would pick up any interference? Is there a way to ground the unused lead. I wont to stick with the dual lead G-mpc so that I have the option to try the G-mpc on future SR ic's.
Thanks. |
Tbg, can you give us a price for the Galileo Universal Cable Cells and the migs?
I am also curious how the migs are any different from all the other isolation feet out there. They either seem to increase sound staging and air at the expense of diminished texture and added brightness, or the other way around. |
So, do the migs placed under a powercell provide enough clearance for the mpc's plugged into the back? Currently, I am using a book for clearance. I also have shelving that is fairly thick glass so would like to hear any input on the migs compatibility with glass shelving.
Thanks |
So if the migs do not provide enough clearance for the mpc's on a powercell se, does anyone have any advise on an alternative method. I am currently using a book for clearance. I am looking for a more relaxed sound without losing any sound staging, air or detail. |
Tbg, thanks for the advise, but unfortunately this is not an option for my rack since there are support posts in the way. So, did the increase in sound stage come at the cost of increased edge or brightness?
Ozzie, does SR offer these jumper plugs, and are they quantum tunneled?
Also, I would like to know if any of you have achieved a relaxation effect using the migs. |
Thanks for the advise Tbg. Unfortunately, if I place the Powercell se upside down then plug for the Precision pc would be too far away. I also have a qls 6 feed by a T3 UHC,and Tesla plex but I am using this for my Niam gear. The Naim XS integrated amp and also a Teddy cap do not sound right with the Powercell. The prat suffers and there is hardness imparted to the sound.
So, what I am trying is the use of three racket balls and ankle weights on top of the powercell. Kind of a diy gingko isolation method. So, far i am liking the effect. I am getting better front to back layering and the highs are more relaxed with more texture.
My experience with metal cones has always been an increase in transparency in addition to an increase in brightness. |
I have actually tried the Black Diamond Racing cones and they definitely added too much hardness in my system at the time.
Tbg, a Teddycap is an external power supply for the Naim XS preamp section. I am still experimenting with footers. After trying the racket balls under the Powercell I am now trying the much smaller squash balls under my Naim XS. I can't believe the transformation in sound. Much more air, wider and deeper with more texture. However, like you mentioned Tbg the bass is noticeably softer. Keep in mind I have a lead shot loaded metal frame with fairly thick glass.
So, now I am really curious about mixing components with either Ginko footers and Migs.
Has anyone noticed any added hardness to their system with the Migs? I would think that glass would be more susceptible. |
Airportsyndrome, can you tell us the differences you heard between the two. Did you experience any hardness to the sound? |
Rilbr, can you please expand on the Alan Maher product that you are using and what effects you are hearing. |
I have a question for all you teslaphiles. I would like to know if any of you have compared Stillpoints to the migs. I currently have a plethora of SR products from the powercell se, apex ic's, hologram A and D and the D2 with a mix of G-mpcs. So, I am getting that wrap around sound stage that others have talked about.
I recently picked up a set of Stillpoints with risers placed under my dac and I am blown away by the increase in harmonic richness combined with a more infinite sense of depth with much more front to back layering. I am amazed they accomplished better sound staging while reducing glare and improving timbre.
I have more Stillpoints coming to experiment with, but I would like to consider mixing migs and stillpoints.
I am sure this has been mentioned in this never ending thread, but i would like to know if the migs tilt the highs in any way.
I should also mention that my rack is a steel frame loaded with lead shot with fairly thick glass shelves.

Fplanner, did you give the stillpoints at least 2 days to settle in? Did you also have the risers? When I first installed them under my dac the sound was thin and not even listenable for 2 days. This may have something to do with the fairly light weight of my Dac. I also have a second set without the risers and they are not as nearly as effective.
So, are you also saying that the migs increase the amount of bass in your system. After I added the Hologram A I ended up with a little too much bass for my room and the stillpoints cleaned this up with more control.
Besides the bass question I really need to know what the migs do for vocal timbres and weather or not the migs relax the highs or tilt them towards brightness. Just the one set of stillpoints with risers eliminated a lot of glare in my system. |
Thanks for the input Tbg. Have you had a chance to try the Ultra SS feet under any components?
Glory, pardon me for my typo and thanks for exposing my brain spasm. Your superior grammar skills are a valuable asset to this forum. However, I am exceedingly disappointed that you did not enlighten us on the etymology of weather vs whether. |
Right you are Tbg. The StillPoint Ultra SS footers are amazing. However, they are not a good solution for my Macbook Pro. Most importantly, what I am looking for is a platform that can provide a more organic midrange for my Macbook Pro. An increase in sound staging would be a bonus. Just wondering if I can achieve both with the Basik. Looks like I will just have to try them when I get the time.
Anyone who has compared the two, please do share. |
Has any one compared the Tranquility Basik to the Base? I guess it baffles me how the price can double by just adding a few more layers and a grounding plane. |
