Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments?

Which configurations did you end up preferring with your MIGs? I've just got the two sets in and ended up with them both in Ambient configuration. I'm going to let things settle and then play around with them again tomorrow. It's pretty easy to swap them in and out without having cables move once they are installed.

I think I'll try swapping the CDP to pinpoint and see how I like that.

I'm kicking myself for not getting 3 sets to demo.

I'm definitely buying two sets though, and going to demo a set on the amp.

Adwiegert. initially I tried everything in the pin-point position, but I moved the line stage back to ambient. The MIGs are changing so much that I think I am going to have to go back. If it is the cables protesting changes this may take a while.

I'm sad to tell you that you have something else you are going to have to buy from SR, the Galileo Universal Cable Cells for your speaker wires. I just got mine into the system about an hour ago. I don't know what they are going to be like tonight, but what they do is many magnitudes more than the MIGs already. The clarity, timbre of instruments, bass, namely all the attributes of the PowerCell further added to your sound. I am worn out tonight, but really thought of staying up listening so I could hear the improvement with each minute. It really wasn't easy putting these things on the Apex speaker wires. The Cells are light and the Apex stiff.

Tbg, can you give us a price for the Galileo Universal Cable Cells and the migs?

I am also curious how the migs are any different from
all the other isolation feet out there. They either
seem to increase sound staging and air at the expense
of diminished texture and added brightness, or the
other way around.

Scottmac62, the Galileo Universal Speaker Cell cost $2500 and Interconnect Cells, $1500, and the MIGs, $150.

I am trying to grasp exactly why they are so dramatically different. There is little question that the two ways they can be used differ. One with two cups round side up called ambient soundstage and the other with two down called pin point sound stage. Nothing is said about all down or all up. I have yet to decide which I prefer or which mix I prefer.

Last night with the linestage in ambient and the PowerCell and Minerva in pin-point, on a live recording of Willie Nelson and Wynton Marsalis, I had a greater sense of the audience and the instruments in the band were very precisely located with very natural timbre. The drum solos were very realistic and the bass very extended. Today may be different. I expect it will be better.

I really don't understand the MIGs. We know these metal bowls resonance in the case of the ARTS. SR's demonstration of them merely turns them over on a table round bottom up. With the MIGs can they resonate with their open side either against the shelf or the component?

No matter, however, they do change the sound and dramatically. I guess all of us will have to judge for ourselves whether we like what we hear.

The Cells will have to await further listening also. Mine only had an hour on them when I last listened.

There is nothing subtle about either the MIGs or the Cells. You will immediately know something is different.

TBg,

How long are the leads for the Galileo Speaker Cell MPC? Does it come with only one Galileo MPC?

Thanks
