Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments?
Fplanner2010, I think I understand what you are attempting to do and don't understand why you are doing it. I think you have two sets of Apex speaker wires running from your amp to each Universal Speaker Cells and one set of pigtails from the Cell...

Maxx1973, my first opportunity to hear Tidal speakers driven by Tidal electronics will be the coming Rocky Mountain Audio Fest. I am fearful that they may be a must.I must say that you are in for a largely daily improvement for about the next two ...

Calloway, I think that Tidal just did not anticipate it success. I had to wait nearly six months to get mine even though I was an early adopter. I expect that production could be greatly increased but what were demand to sharply decline? This is a... 
Shakti Stones Do they actuall work guys.
Since I know full-well that some enjoy mockery rather than trying anything remotely being characterized as a tweak which I think is ridiculous, I will enter this fray. I once had ten Shakti Stones. Now I have none. I found that I could not predict... 
Review of Syn. Res. Galileo Un. Cells & H-Cat X9
Pepperidge, lots of water over the dam since I wrote that. Yes, I have tried Amarra 2, but I am presently using Pure Music 1.45. I like the bottom end a little better and the soundstage is better or more involving. I do now have the H-Cat prototyp... 
LSA1 modified vs Silverline sr 11 / ERA D5
Rebbi, yes I misspoke about the Signature version having the ribbon. All that I really know is that the Statement is exceptional. 
LSA1 modified vs Silverline sr 11 / ERA D5
Rebbi, what is curious is that the Statements are the top of the LSA line.Notably, the Underwood mod doesn't replace the tweeter. For $1500 rather than $1300, you certainly would want to have the folded ribbon. 
Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments?
Hey, Dave, I wish I could say, come on up and hear for yourself, but alas I am in the mountains of NM for the summer.I should say that I brought my three Universal Cells and their Basik speaker wires and ics with me to NM. This is not to say that ... 
LSA1 modified vs Silverline sr 11 / ERA D5
Rebbi, the modifications of the LSA speakers are done by Exemplar Audio or John Tucker who is also with LSA. 
Turntable isolation
If your walls don't vibrate much, a wall shelf is the only thing recommended here that will work. Batters, like pole magnets, and springs all are the same and like hard and soft feet have resonant frequencies which may or may not help. 
LSA1 modified vs Silverline sr 11 / ERA D5
If you mean the LSA1 Statements, they are the best. These are the highly modified LSA1. There are the Standards as they come from China and the Signatures with a folded ribbon tweeter.

Kclone, when I first heard Tidals at the '09 RMAF, they were absolutely green and were not impressive. On day 2 they were much better but still not something I would spend that much money on. But Sunday, Sunday, Sunday! Wow!My personal experiences...

Almarg, I agree there is a slight risk and that in a balance circumstance there is probably little benefit, but personally I don't like balanced systems. 
Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments?
I guess, I have personally had probably five systems were I did this, starting many year ago with the Namichi ac leakage voltage meter. I have heard it also on at least five friends' systems.But really it is the ground loop issue which is always t... 
Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments?
Bacardi,Understand that the Ground Lifter just does that. You could do the same thing by cutting of the ground pin on the plug going into the wall. I don't really know whether lifting the ground on the PowerCell would adversely affect it, however....
