Thiel CS7.2 vs Revel Salon2
It took a $14k Krell FPB-600C to make my CS5i's happy, but with that Krell they make me happy. 
Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments?
Frankk,With the Accelerator speaker cables and the Accelerator ICs between my CDP and preamp, female vocals (my favorite music type) had a metallic sheen to them (grayness). Even on really well-recorded female vocals like the XRCD2 CD "Best Audiop...

Exactly my experience, Fplanner 2000. If you want to take your Powercell 10SE to another level still, put a Galileo MPC on it and the included Precision AC power cord.

Husk01,I had a Chang Lightspeed for years (very good, especially for the money). Then a bought and sold a Furman IT-Reference 20i (top of Furman's line). Great for video and HT but just did not cut it for 2 channel critical listening. Once I sold ...

"It's like looking for a needle in a haystack but if you can find one that is worth owning, they generally offer tremendous sonic gains in a number of areas."The Synergistic Research Powercell 10SE is such a product. Totally transformed my system.... 
Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments?
Okay, since no one bit on my question about the G-MPCs on power cords, I'll give you my two cents on what I am hearing since I got two more today and placed one on my Hologram D. Just as much improvement as when I placed one on my Apex ICs a coupl... 
Power Strip Question - PLEASE HELP
You need a power conditioner with multiple duplexes that isolates the digital duplexes from the analog ones and does not alter the sound much. Like this:http://www.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cls.pl?powrcond&1264289340&/Chang-Lightspeed-cls-6400-... 
Raysonic 168 vs Ayre CX-7eMP
Unfortunately, I have not heard the Raysonic 168, but I can tell you that the MP upgrade to my CX-7e was a transformation. I recommend buying one off of Agon for about $2k and try it. You can always re-sell it and get your money back. My bet is th... 
Help: Speakers to fill Exceptionallly Large Room?
Stanwal,Beginning with the Series 3, the 901s could be driven to very high volumes with a good 75w/ch receiver. They do require use of an equalizer (included) that runs through a tape loop. Finding a modern receiver, integrated amp, or preamp with... 
Help: Speakers to fill Exceptionallly Large Room?
I second the Bose 901s. You can hang them from the ceiling with chains and they are efficient and not demanding of the electronics that drive them. They have always worked great in bars and the like. 
Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments?
Has anyone done a comparison on the effect of the Galileo MPCs on Tesla power cords vs ICs/speaker cables? Is it worth the $$ to add Galileo MPCs to Tesla power cords? 
Raysonic 168 vs Ayre CX-7eMP
You both have actually heard the "MP" version of the CX-7e? 
Rel B2 or JL Audio f 112
I had a Paradigm Seismic 12 and found it to be good as a movie "boombox" but not even worth considering for integration with my 2-channel system for music listening (using Thiel CS5i's for main speakers). I do agree that Paradigm makes excellent s... 
Best Power Cord for REL Stadium III
Mooglie,Last night, I remembered that I had bought a power cord (been in my closet) with knockoff Oyaide C-037 Rhodium plugs from Hong Kong off of ebay way back at the beginning of my power cord journey. Also found some nice cones with sharp point... 
Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments?
Actually Tbg, the Galileo MPCs are available in a one lead version. One of these came along with my Hologram D (for extra cost over the standard MPC). I was actually a bit disappointed as I think the two lead model for the same price is the way to...
