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.

I recently purchased T3s and a Hologram D. Very nice cables. Is the Quattro with a T2 a significant upgrdae from the MPC?
Foster 9,

I had the same experience with a T3 on each of my PS Premier conditioners.
I totally agree with our friend Rhirsch concerning the Hologram D. It is a wonderful cable for CDP or DAC units.
I guess if you like the SR Telsa sound, you will love having all of your AC cables, speaker cables, and interconnects Telsa. I don't think its hype, just fine tuning of the system.
The Quattro with a T2 driving it seems to have a blacker background with enhanced bass.

There is only one unit as you suggested; the difference is in the cables.
Tvad,

Relax man. Rhirsch is sincere. He is giving you a compliment. That's the way he is.
You all who take affront at any direct questions are the ones who need to chill.

I had no problems with your questions.
I totally agree with Jmo. The service that Ted and Eliott have provided to me when I had problems has been nothing short of first rate.

I have converted all of my cables to SR. A number of folks have spoken of a major jump in performance when all of the cables are SR. After finishing with an Apex interconnect, I can say that they were being conservative. I was not prepared for this level of improvement in the sound of my system.

I am using Apex speaker cables. Precision Reference between the pream and amps. Apex for the DAC to preamp. 3 T3s, T2, Hologram D, Telsa USB, and a Quattro.

A PowerCell is probably in my near future as well.

Again, I'm sorry that the purchase of your new cables was not an enjoyable experience.
Ozzy,

My choice was based on Ted's recommendation. I am using Wilson WP 8s and Levinson 32 preamp/33H amps. Ted really knows the voicing of his products and will be happy to help you find the best SR cables for your system. Eliott can also help you. Give them a call.

You are in for a real surprise when you go all SR. Another thing I found is that the soundstage height seems to bloom when I have a Quattro-T2 driving all of the cables.

I ordered a Tricon Analogue phono cable today after trying the store demo. I guess I'll be spinning a bit more vinyl in the future!
The Tesla SR cables are an excellent choice for Wilson speakers. I love them with my WP8s.
It really depends on your equipment which cable you will like since they are all voiced differently. The Precision AC sounds better than the T2 or T3 on my Levinson 32 preamp. I just did an interesting experiment; I replaced the T2 on my Quattro (runs 12 cables) with a T3, and then a Precision AC. I did this over several days as the cables need some time on the Quattro. The Precision was significantly better than the other 2 cables. The midrange was more forward with greater bloom. Better detail and resolution.

Now Ted has new speaker cables to replace my Apex cables. He is a bad but brilliant fellow!
Hi Bacardi,

My system uses Precision AC on the preamp, Hologram D on my DAC, T3 on my Stax headphone amp. My amps, Levinson 33H have their own captive AC cables. This leaves me a Precision AC for the Quattro. I have a spare T3 for whatever and one T3 for my LCD 55 inch TV/DVD/satellite TV setup.

I think the Precision on the QLS if fine. Here's what I've discovered; you have to try different set-ups to really know what sounds best to you. Ted gives you a starting point, but he can't possibly listen to every amp, preamp, etc. out there.
Bacardi,

I bet you'll love the Powercell 10SE. I noticed that some guys here don't like the Precision AC, but on my system, it sounds great. I guess that's why they call this a hobby!

Steve
Bacardi,

I haven't heard the T3UHC. I do have Apex speaker cables, Precision Reference between the preamp and power amps, and Apex interconnects for the DAC. Tesla phono for the turntable.

All good stuff that can be fine tuned with proper selection of cables.

As you can see I'm a big fan of SR.
The Precision gave me more detail and sounded quicker with the Quattro.

As for Ted's new cables, I'll wait to see what he is offering.
TBg,

How long are the leads for the Galileo Speaker Cell MPC? Does it come with only one Galileo MPC?

Thanks
Tbg, are there two 5 foot extensions with the Galileo Universal Power Cell and are the leads 5 foot form the MPC? Can one of the MPC leads be connected directly allowing me to double up on the extensions for one of the runs?

Thanks
Tbg,

I could use one of the Quantum ground lifters for my active sub/Precision AC cable. Where did you get yours?
Tbg,

Thanks for the response Norm. I see that SR has the item on their website, but not ready to order.

Steve
I use a SR Precision AC cable on my Wilson Watch Dog powered sub. It makes a very postivie improvement over the standard AC cable that comes with the sub.

The Quantum Ground Lifter is $35.00
Norm is a good guy and quite knowledgeable. I welcome his insight and value his comments.

Glory, grow up. Just about every high end company has new models that aren't upgradable. Wilson, Shunyata, Audience, etc. The real issue here is YOUR compulsion to feel the need to buy new models. I still enjoy my 2009 Synergistic cables without the need to "upgrade".
