My FEQ is not centered and id on the back wall between the system rack and the right speaker because the untreated ground wire is not long enough. And everything works excellent as you all describe. You just have to get a new unit because you should notice a shift in your system immediately.

Let us know how you like the XOT's!
Thanks!

Element Tungsten on Source for sure. The Tungsten line is in the winner of the group only gets better as you go up the line. Add in a Element Copper on the Amp to save some cash.

Try the Tungsten on your CDP/DAC and then compare and switch Copper from Amp to CDP. I assume you will like the Tungsten on the CDP. The whole system will get the benefits from the better cable from start/source to finish. ;-) Have fun and let us know how it sounds. Thanks!

Tboooe,

How did you like the Element Tungsten Power Cords? Also, please note that Synergistic cabling works better if all your Power cords are S.R. brand. Therefore, use a S.R. PC on your power plant and all your components plus a Teslapex SE outlet to get the best overall performance out of your system. Have fun!

Even better yet, use the Element Tungsten on your Rel B2 subwoofer and get an Element Copper/Tungsten for your PowerCell 6 SE later when you want to upgrade. ;-)

joeyboynj

If you can, get a Element Copper/Tungsten power cord for the PowerCell 6 SE. Big upgrade and worth the extra $$. And def. get the Teslaplex SE for the outlet as well. Then I think you will have the best power set up for your application.

How long did you leave the bullets on the cables until you made a decision which one was best?

joeyboynj

Did you try the silver bullets? I preferred mostly silver and maybe one or two gray ones in the mix. The black one was too dark, slow and sounded like murky waters in my system.

If you can, try a Element Copper/Tungsten on the PowerCell 6. Element Tungsten on the Source and Element Copper on the amplifier and pre-amp. Use all silver and a gray on the source or amp (Try em both). This combo will bring you a lot more of what you like.

joeyboynj

How are you liking the new Synergistic Research Element power cables? What PC are you using on the PowerCell 6?
