Tesla Plex SE by Synergistic Research.

Hi Dear Fellows.
I have a  Transparent  Ultra power bank filter pluged to a modest Furutech FPX wall receptacle to feed my system.I have a very relaxing efect , with deepness in soundstage, accurate timber, airy sound and a dark background.Anyway , said that,I feel my system needs a little punch  in the upper frequencies, I think is a very quiet listening and lacks a bit of energy to my taste.I red that the tesla Plex SE receptacle due to its 2 million volts treatment, have a more detailed sound, airy, and very dinamic, with better bass extension.So I kept that in my mind and decided to buy one of these receptacles.I haven´t received it yet.So what can I expect from this wall receptacle?Is it true what the description tells about its performance?Any experiences will be highly appreciated!!I will tell mines once I'll test it.Thanks in advance!Cheers!Raf

My system is  configurated as follows:
Cal delta transport
Audio alchemy Dti pro
EAD Dsp 9000 pro
Jadis Orchestra amplifier
Proac Response One SC
Van den hul The First interconnects
PAD  Praestro  biwire 20th anniversary speaker cables

I also have the Jadis Orchestra amplifier so perhaps my observations will be helpful.

The Synergistic Research Teslaplex SE A/C receptacle will give your system the sense of more energy and music in the room. For me there is a sense of more emotion.

The Jadis also responds well to upgrading the stock fuse. I think the Synergistic Research "RED"
fuse will further improve the systems's sound.

The fuse and receptacle will sound good on installation but better after about  a 100 hrs. of use.

I have rolled a lot of tubes and have found that changing the fuses in the amp, and music source (such as CD player or DAC ) will make a bigger and more meaningful sonic change. I would make these changes first.

Also the Synergistic Research fuses- both the "RED" and the newest "BLACK" fuses and the Teslaplex A/C wall receptacles are sold with a money back guarantee. Not so with tubes!

No I do not teach physics. I am an anesthesiologist.
Remember the A/C receptacle will sound better upon instalation but will fully open up with about 150 hours of current flowing thru it.

The "BLACK" fuses shipped yesterday and so should have them for this weekend listening sessions. I will have the good fortune to compare the sound of equipment using the Synergistic Research original fuse-SR20, RED, and now the BLACK fuse.

The amplifiers are Art Audio PX-25, Emotion Custom (type45 tube), Jadis, and Eddie Current Zana Deux OTL headphone amp.

The sources are Marantz SA11-S2 SACD players, and an Antelope DAC (which has a separate fuse for Hot and Neutral).

As a further listening bonus this weekend, I will be listening to Zuill Baily play Bach on his 1693 cello live, and then compare it to his CD. I hope I do not have to tell him he needs a fuse change!

If you enjoy classical music at all, I highly recommend Zuill Bailey's cello CD's.

I much prefer Ohmedia machines!

I did find the RED fuse to take about 3 days to settle in. I thought it was a nice improvement over a stock fuse. Then comparing a Synergistic Research Black fuse to Red or original, the improvement was greatest with the BLACK fuse.

Black fuse is simply the best and it's easy to hear the improvement. This applies to amps, DAC's, CD players, sound processors, sub woofers and TV sound bars. These are locations I have personally evaluated.

Concerning wall outlets: I do like the way the Synergistic Research Teslaplex SE wall outlets brings more music to the room. The Furutech GTX-R is also good but brings different qualities to the room.  But if I was starting out trying outlets,  I would pick a Synergistic Research Teslaplex SE. It is the one outlet that comes with a 30 day money back trial. It also is less expensive!

Congratulations on trying the Red fuse in the Jadis. You described exactly what I have heard with a RED fuse in this amp. And then wow! You went to the next level and pried open that amp and replaced the internal fuses. Great work. The Jadis is not easy to get into.

I have not tried the Black fuse with the Jadis-yet. I am using Black fuses on my two low powered SET amps and my Headphone amp. 

So right now the Jadis and the Triode of Japan 845 amp are not being played.

Each of these amps brings a slightly different palate of sounds to the systems. The one fact that has been an absolute constant is these Synergistic RED and BLACK fuses make a significant improvement in the sound.

I hope everyone gets to hear some great music this weekend.
