Adwiegert, wow, I forgot to update my system. Thanks, yes, I still have the SRs and the PowerCell. |
Plelko, perhaps this is true. I am one for 48 in such devices, however. |
Plelko, I think most conditioners lose the pace of the music. I always liked the Sound Application and now the Synergistic PowerCell as they do not. |
Forty-seven times I have dumped my power conditioner. I have the SR PowerCell now and very happy, but given my record it will probably go someday. Most of the time on removing the power conditioner, like you, I prefer not having one. Recently, however, it has been that one conditioner just sounds better. I think the technology is improving. |

I'm with Shellie. Daveb, the best 10SE cost $5000. |
Rilou, the SR Teslaplex is far better-quicker, more dynamic, with a better soundstage. |
Sorry, Adwiegert. I missed the SR Powercell after it was removed. |
Timztunz, I think that you are right on about most power conditioners lacking headroom. It looks like the Silver Circle Power One 5 is just a very large transformer. I think that others, such as Synergistic Research have found more innovative methods to avoid constriction. |
Prosoundman, after 40 plus attempts, I will stick with my Synergistic Research PowerCell, SE10. |
Ppat, do you ever post, and if so, about what?
I tend to agree with you as obviously there is no consensus on anything here. It has always seemed crazy that people would expect one and that anyone would think that words can really be used to characterize sounds.
But that does mean that I have not sought improvements over time. I really only post to reveal my impressions, not to persuade others. |
Turboglo, the adage that everything is system dependent certainly applies here. Several years ago I bought an Equi=tech 1.5Q and did everything including several conversations with people at Equitech about it. It was absolutely the worst filter I ever heard, but the guy who bought it from me loves it. Balance power, I thought, made a lot of sense until I experienced it. |
Dlcockrum, I agree. I have had some 40 ac power conditioners and have always said the ultimate test is whether after breakin, the music is better once you have removed it. Most fail this test. The SR PowerCell SE certainly did, but more importantly I really missed the realism of the soundstage after it was out. |
