Lapierre, I am very interested to hear additional thoughts on the HFT and FEQ. I will be demoing these soon. Do you have any room treatments already? I wonder how much benefit I will get if I already have a treated room?

hey Joeyboynj! The audition is going great! So far I have only tried the Tungsten on my PS Audio P3 and immediately I noticed much more clarity. Its as if I was looking through a dirty window this whole time. I am going to start there then add another Tungsten to my integrated amp. What do you suggest for my cdp/dac? Tungsten or Copper?

Do you know where I can buy SR cables at a good price? :)

I got some Tungsten power cords coming this Friday for audition. Hopefully I will see some improvement!

Thank you Lapierre. I will give the Tungstens a shot starting first with the power cord then moving on to the interconnects. I wonder how much better the Element is over the Tesla SE? I can get the Teslas for a lot cheaper.

Lapierre, I noticed on another member's virtual system you recommended some SR Tesla ac cords and in this thread you are trying out the new Element cords. I am curious if you had some thoughts on these? I am considering the Tesla SE T3 cable though I must admit the description of the Element Tungsten is exactly what I am after in my system. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
