The best speaker you ever heard?
Or the Tidal Contriva Discera SEs. There is no question in my mind. I was convinced that all speakers were compromises somewhere. I now realize I was wrong. I only wish that I had them for the previous 45 years of my audiophile life.

Yes, I waited a long time, and it was worth the wait. 
Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments?
Tvad, these are very strange devices as it is hard to say why there is a breakin, but there certainly is. I have found that you can gently move them beneath components with little needed settling in. But if they are jared, they may take several ho... 
Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments?
Ted, I just did the now recommended halfway between the front of the speakers and your ears on the Magnetrons. I am amazed at what this did for the involvement in the soundstage and ease of the sound. The image is now higher as well. Why did I not... 
Why aren't new vacuum tubes as good as old ones?
I think you guys are under estimating the importance to WE of reliable tubes and the fact that there was competition among manufacturers.

Okay, it was about 1 1/2 years ago. 
SR Power Cell 10 SE Vs, Bybee Purifier PC
Husk01, I bought a Syn. Res. PowerCell 10SE several years ago after hearing a demonstration of it. I have had many, many, ac filters, this is the only one that I still have. The only other ones that I have liked are the Sound Applications and Walk... 
Why aren't new vacuum tubes as good as old ones?

Life is very strange with the Tidals. They are so revealing that you notice when your amp has been on long enough, when you need to await cables that you have moved around to settle, and, of course, when everything is just right and you have no ch... 
Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments?
I understand it is the same technology as the PowerCell and as I understand that charged plates are the key. 
Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments?
Milimetr, I have tried the Interconnect Cells with Townshend interconnects. I would definitely say that the Cells improved the Townshends, but the SR Apexs are definitely better. However, I have a Summer home and am going to use the Townshends the... 
Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments?
Suteetat, maybe available in 3 standard lengths, but I didn't specify and got 36 inchers. The extension leads for the MPS on the Speaker Cells is standard. 
Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments?
Milimetr, the cable leads to the speaker binding posts are 36" long and the connections are about 4" off the floor. My stands are 28" tall and the connections on my LSA1 Statements are at the bottom of the speakers. I don't think you or I will hav... 
Do you think you need a subwoofer?
Rauliruegas, I have no experience with the Tannoys. My only question is whether you hear music when only they are on. With both the Townshends and Muratas, you hear no music at all, just various pops and clicks.What convinced me about the Muratas ... 
Do you think you need a subwoofer?
Rauliruegas, I would agree except for supertweeters with no frequency response below 15k Hz. There I have found no integation issues. There are two of these that I know of-Muratas and Townshend.
