Review: Valve Amplification Company Phi 300 Tube amp
After about 8 months with my 300.1, all I can say is WOW! It has done everything I have asked of it without breaking a sweat. It sounds neither tubey nor solid-state - it just sounds like the music. I am so pleased with this amp that I've set out ... 
Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments?
Ozzy - I've also found that the longer you let these cords settle in with each other, the better they sound. I listened to the recommendations of SR and my dealer and then just let the cords settle in. I have been rewarded with the best sound, by ... 
Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments?
Thanks guys for the break-in info re: bass response. 2-300 hours is relatively easy compared to the 800+ hours my VD speaker cables took....I think part of my problem may also be that my VR-7s bass drivers are probably not as broken in yet as they...

I could swear Elliott told me they are designed to attach first to the HF, but I forgot the explanation, if he gave one. Of course you can obviously do a test and see what you like better, but before I did anything I'd probably talk to Ted.Please ...

OK, enough about The Cable Company - everyone has an opinion. As far as SR is concerned, I put the Apex Tesla bi-wire speaker cables into my system yesterday afternoon, replacing VD Revelation that was shotgun bi-wired. There are various threads a...

I have also heard that Ted made the T-2 SPECIFICALLY for pre-amps with the Hologram A SPECIFICALLY for amps, even in SOTA systems - you can read about the T-2 on the SR site. I decided to listen to the guy who built the cords and am happy I did - ...

I've pretty much run out of patience with the Cable Company, after buying cables from them for years. I would rather do business with a dealer that has the time to answer my questions the first time I call, instead of having to call back repeatedl...

Ozzy-I also found that the T-2 works well on my preamp.(I listed my other cord choices 11 days ago on this thread). So far, everything sounds great. Will be replacing VD speaker wires with SR Apex this weekend. Hoping for yet another change for th... 
von schweikert shipping boxes vr4sr
I'll fifth keeping them - not that I'll ever sell my VR-7s, BUT you never know. The crates were quite large and we had to take them apart just to get the speakers out, so we kept the crates in pieces, trying to clearly number sides for later poten...

My dealer suggested a T-3 on the Quattro - just got it - will be putting it into my system this weekend if I get a chance. The more power is better theory seems to be further refined by the Enigma, I'm guessing. 
Virtual Dynamics Revelation-2 speaker cables
I agree - it takes a while. An idea is to leave your system on overnite - I found this a quick way to put hours on the cables. I have recently changed cables thoughout my entire system away from VD, but am keeping my Revelation bi-wire speaker cab... 
Stealth metacarbon or Synergistic Apex
I compared the Stealth Indra to Synergistic Apex when my system was already 1/2 Synergistic when when I put the Indra in between my CDP and Preamp, the soundstage collapsed from front to back. I did this several times over a 4 hour period, and eac...

T-3 UHC is a higher current version of the T-3 used on SR's new Powercells. Very nice fit from wall to power conditioner in my system - no loss of clarity, air or high frequency extension. Also, not fatiguing. Excellent suggestion by my dealer.

Tboooe and Joeyboynj- Sorry I haven't responded sooner, but I've been "Listening to The Music". VD cords replaced were Genesis IC from CD to preamp(Apex Tesla), Genesis PC from conditioner to CD(Hologam-D), Revelation PC from conditioner to Preamp... 
Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments?
Pulled the trigger last week on SR Tesla cables to replace my VD cables. Installed into system (except speaker cables) this afternoon and by this evening my system is sounding better, by a large margin, than it ever has. A neighbor who knows my sy...
