BTW, here are my initial thoughts on the PowerCell 10 SE when compared to my Running Springs Audio Haley. I kept everything the same outside of the power cord used on the conditioners. With the Haley, I was using a Copper Kaplan Cable cord - with the PowerCell 10 SE, I am using the provided Tesla Precision AC power cord. This cord uses a 32 amp Powercon connector and comes standard with the unit.
Initial Comments:
* Quieter background
* Improved detail - greater separation of notes, music is faster
* Improved sense of depth and space - music is just hanging out there
* Improved bass - more texture and body to the pluck of a stand-up bass or thwack! when hitting a drum
* Music is punchier and more forceful, but in a non-aggressive way
* Slight removal of grain or grit on horns and brass (which I didn't even notice before)
* System sounds more effortless and powerful
Overall it has been a very positive experience so far. Please keep in mind that while the Haley is excellent and performs outside of its price range, there is a substantial price difference between the RSA Haley (~$1400) and the SR PowerCell 10 SE ($5000).
