Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments?
Ozzy, I tried the Precision Ref on my amp versus the Hologram A and much preferred it, but Ted D says he cannot predict which will work best with amps. He was, however, shocked that I preferred the T2 to the Hologram A on my line stage. I suspect ... 
Choice between Weiss Minerva & Berkley Alpha DAC
Memac, I certainly think the Berkeley and Weiss dacs are ahead of the other two. I personally think the Minerva is clearly the best of these two. But I would only use the Firewire connection to my Mac and the Berkeley has no Firewire port. The rev... 
Apple Macintosh Music System
Timbrepitch, since I heard a Mac Powerbook Pro running Amarra and using Firewire to a Weiss Minerva, I have been on a quest to have that system. To put it succinctly, I now have it up and running and have never heard anything approaching this digi...

Mac Mini playing Amarra. 
Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments?
Guys, I need to mention the benefits of isolating QLSs from vibrations. Somehow I had ignored this in my use of SR cables. I had heard the benefits of isolating the Apex speaker wires, briefly tried the PowerCell 10SE on StillPoints component stan... 
Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments?
Adwiegert, well the answer is isolating the QLS was a big improvement. I only had a Walker Audio isolation platform for use under his velocitor as shown on his webpage. I basically had to lean over my system holding on to the back wall to get it i... 
How does one get off the merry-go-round?
I used to have five passions-audio, catamaran racing, sports cars, being a good professor, and my family. I now have but two-audio and my family although my kids now have kids. I find people with no passions boring. I have absolutely no desire to ... 
Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments?
Adwiegert, my QLS 9 is just laying on the floor. It is such a snakes nest back there that I never even thought of vibrations having and effect. But prior experiences strongly says it will. There is also the problem of the SR cables being on the fl... 
Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments?
The sole exception I would make to the above is to say that my linestage did not like the Hologram A. The simple T2 was better. 
Why don't gold based cable fans try Synergistic
Bullot, you are indeed lucky to have a local dealer. I have not had one for the last thirty years. But I do remember that I had few instances such as those you recounted. What you say, however, does not negate the totally implausibly of what he or...

Bullot, I don't respect his integrity. He sounds like someone unknowing of anything electrical. Why would he be a SR dealer if he knew something was wrong with them electrically? 
Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments?
Ozzy and Shellie, if they are going to sell the trickle-down boxes, they need to get them on their web page. When the ARTs came out they quickly added them. The MIGs demand being on a webpage also.I had thought that Ted's experimenting with bowls ... 
Why don't gold based cable fans try Synergistic
Bullot, what lends credence to your experience is that nothing else has happened since you stopped using charged cables. But like Shellie, I don't see any mechanism that this could happen. Were I you I would check whether the outlets you are or we... 
Why don't gold based cable fans try Synergistic
Bullot, did you ask the people at Synergistic Research about this? I have had no problem with this in NM where it is also quite dry. 
When is digital going to get the soul of music?
Mmakshak, I have had a similar experience with my new Mac/Amarra/Firewire/Weiss Minerva. I have found the soundstage more precise, the top end sweeter and more extended, and the bass deeper and less one note in character than my vinyl system (Shin...
