$5,000 Synergistic Research Tesla PowerCell 10 SE MkII
In very good cosmetic condition and complete with Synergistic Tesla SE Precision AC cord, a dual lead MPC, 3 enigma bullets, manual and original packaging.

I am selling this PowerCell for one of my customers who upgraded his system to include the new PowerCell 10 UEF with the FEQ Equalizer. There is nothing wrong with this unit and it has never been repaired. The client is only selling it to make room for the latest model which is he is very happy with, just as he was very happy with this one.

This PowerCell was just checked by Synergistic Research and given a clean bill of health. It's in perfect operating condition and near perfect cosmetic condition except for some tiny marks on the back of the unit and a scuff on the cord label as detailed below. This is a one owner unit from a non smoking and pet free environment. It was bought from an authorized Synergistic Research dealer. It has been used in a high quality system consisting of Krell, Manley and Golden Ear components. I'm sorry I don't have a picture of the system but there are many high quality pictures of the component for sale. The PowerCell is the best way to protect your valuable equipment while not only not degrading the sound, as many power strips and power protection devices do, but dramatically improving the sound. I think the 3 top companies for these products are Synergistic, Shunyata and Torus. While Torus and Shunyata both certainly make quality products and nobody can fault them there Synergistic has put so much more technology into their PowerCells that really they are a whole different category of product. Please give it a try and see for yourself. Nearly everyone I have sold a PowerCell to over the years has come back and bought more Synergistic technologies for his system. No other product that I have ever sold has anything close to the follow up sales rate that Synergistic has. Not only do my customers hear a big difference, they tell me that their wives, their co-workers and friends who are not even audiophiles can hear a big difference from what the SR technologies do in their systems. I do not say this lightly, I have never said anything like this for any other company or product before. Really, Ted Denney of Synergistic is a genius. Whether or not you buy from us, please give his products a try in your system. Send me an email and let me know what you think.

You will see some sellers promising warranty on the sale of used Synergistic items but the Synergistic warranty is technically not transferable, so in order to get warranty service on a used item you bought through Audiogon you would have to have the assistance of the Synergistic dealer who originally sold it to obtain that warranty for you. I cannot promise you warranty on this since it is not transferable but I can promise you that it is working perfectly and as a Synergistic Research Authorized dealer High End Zone stands 100% behind the sale and can assist you if you should ever need service. We arrange service for our customers at no markup even long after the warranty is out because we do not want to profit from your misfortune if something breaks. So it's very different to buy from us versus buying from a private individual on Audiogon who will not be able to help you if you ever need service, parts, upgrades, etc. Furthermore, once you're an established Synergistic Research customer of ours then we would be pleased to offer you full access to all of their products, including all of the latest models, special sales and promotions, below cost deals on demos, and other great offers. So there is a lot to be said about buying from High End Zone even above and beyond our perfect feedback rating!

The various PowerCell models have been the subject of many favorable reviews and prestigious awards over the years. The PowerCell 10 SE Mk III version won "The Absolute Sound's Product of the Year Award" in 2012 for it's category. There are many audiophile awards and lists out there, but I think that at this point The Absolute Sound is probably the most respected publication and that their Product of the Year awards are perhaps the "best" or most important award that a product can win. As I was working on finalizing this listing, I got the AV Showrooms Gold awards for CES 2015 and out of the hundreds of rooms at CES only 5 rooms win the coveted Gold Awards for Best Sound. One of these went to Synergistic Research! Another went to our friend and distributor Brian Ackerman for his amazing room featuring brands like Lansche, Ypsilon, HB Cable Design, Thales, Stage III, and Finite Elemente. We sell all these fine products and many more. But I digress.

I first signed with Synergistic a few years ago at CES after a customer of mine tried one of their PowerCells and was impressed with what a huge difference it made in his system and he wanted me to sign so I could get him the latest version and all their cables and innovative products. So my son and I went to see the CES room, that was 3 years ago when my boy was just 11, and we were just blown away by the sound of Synergistic Research's room especially by their demo of the Tranquility Bases. They did a demo with a beautiful system using top of the line YG Acoustics speakers where they powered the Tranquility Base on and off. The difference in the sound was so amazing, no other demo of audiophile products that I have heard have influenced system sound as much as the Tranquility bases. I still cannot understand WHY they work, they boggle my mind. But they definitely do work. When my son and I went to the YG Acoustics room, the impression was reinforced. They were demoing the same speakers and one of their guys was asking me to become a dealer for YG. He asked my son how he liked the sound and he said that he liked it but that the gentleman should go and hear the same YG speakers in the Synergistic suite because they sounded much better in there! I actually think that Synergistic had less expensive gear in their setup, and a smaller suite. But they definitely made the speakers sound better with their technology. I talked to 2 other guys who heard both rooms who agreed with me and my son on that. It's often hard to hear the differences between systems, especially between electronics and cables, at a show like CES. The rooms have poor acoustics and there are so many factors that influence the sound. But the Synergistic demo very clearly showed that their technology works and makes a very large and immediate difference.

Here's a picture we took in the listening room of the customer who first got us to sign with Synergistic. His system features not only the PowerCell but the Tranquility Bases, the Transporter Ultra SE, all Synergistic Element CTS level balanced XLR interconnects, mostly Synergistic CTS power cords with a few massive Stage III "Krakens" thrown in to terrorize any gremlins that might try to get into the system, Galileo Universal Interconnect and Speaker Cells, HB Powerslave Marble powerstrips. You can't see them but he has Synergistic HFT's and PHT's as well. And of course the star of the show is the beautiful Lloyd Walker Black Diamond turntable. We recently sold the Aesthetix preamp shown here (thanks Mark) and we'll be selling the Grant CD player and an Audio Research 2SE Phono Stage (not shown) which is going to be available because he has ordered the Ypsilon VPS100 tubed phono stage that Michael Fremer at Stereophile and some of the reviewers at Absolute Sound bought with their own money because they feel it so far exceeds any other phono stage on the market. If a phono stage that costs as much as a Toyota Camry is in your budget, please give us a call. But once again, I digress. Please forgive me. My uncle took me to visit Mark Levinson's factory as a very young kid and I picked up a very serious case of upgraditis, I am a danger to myself and others, please excuse me, I can't help it.

This year, Synergistic focused their demo at CES on their new Atmosphere product which we are happy to get you if you'd like to try one. This was my wife and son's favorite demo by far at all of CES. They wanted to stay in there all day asking questions of Synergistic Research founder and CEO Ted Denney. Ted was just incredibly gracious with his time and was more than happy to talk with my 14 year old, he was just charming and witty and obviously a genius. While so many CEO's sit in the back rooms of their suites and talk only to the customers making the biggest orders Ted is out there enthusiastically speaking with everyone who comes in, he's warm and considerate to all the people who visit the room, he doesn't give you the impression that he is thinking about whether you're going to buy or how much you'll buy or any of that as so many of the companies do. It's really a breath of fresh air to have a CEO who is so involved and so enthusiastic for the products while also making himself available to everyone who comes to the show whether s(he) is a big buyer or a hobbyist or reviewer.

I sell all the current SR products to my customers of course but I can only list discontinued products online. I really highly recommend everything SR makes, they are a quality company and I do not think that you can go wrong with any of their products, all of which are hand crafted in the USA. There are a lot of cable companies out there which basically just assemble cables from various materials. SR is not like that, Ted Denney is a true inventor who keeps coming up with brilliant new ways of making our systems sound better. And he has a steady string of "Product of the Year" and other well deserved awards.

If you can afford the $7,000+ price tag then I definitely recommend buying the new PowerCell 10 UEF with an FEQ PowerCell Equalizer because the new technology that is incorporated in there is just fantastic. If you have never heard a demo, please come in here or go to your local SR dealer and hear a demo of this technology. The SR PowerCell is SR's best selling product and the product of theirs which I most recommend. There are 3 good reviews already online of the PowerCell 10 UEF. They are by Robert Youman at Positive Feedback Online; Mike Girardi at Stereo Times; and Steven Plaskin at AudioStream.com. It is, without question, the best power conditioner that you can get at any price point from any company. There just is none better.

With that being said, if you don't want to spend that much on the latest new PowerCell, then this is a great deal for a used one. This is a rare opportunity to bid on one through this Audiogon Auction, and in this case you get to buy from a Synergistic Research dealer. Our customer who got us to sign up with SR in the first place started off buying a used PowerCell on Audiogon to try it out. Today he has at least 25 of their products in his system and he can't stop talking about how much they have done to improve the sound. I hope you will take a chance and try something in your system too because that really is the only way to know if it works for you. Even if you go to a demo and hear what the Tranquility Bases, actively shielded cables, PowerCells and other technology can do, you still don't really know how they will sound to you in your own system and your own home unless you try them out. So here's a chance to try something out at basically zero risk, so try it out, if you don't like it or you love it and you want to upgrade to the PowerCell 10 UEF with an FEQ PowerCell Equalizer version either way you can get your money out of this easily enough. Of course if you buy the PowerCell 10 UEF from us, we'll be happy to sell this one for you after you experience the differences for yourself, see below for more info on that.

We do our best to disclose everything we are aware of about the gear that we sell so that you can get the best "picture" of each item as possible. So even though you can barely notice any flaws in this piece of gear, we did notice some small scratches on the back side and we are letting you know about them. If you look in the pictures below you will see the one scratch that is actually on the back of the case, it is to the right of the top left power cord inlet. There are also little scratches on some the faces of the red duplex outlets. Obviously these fine scratches are on the back and they do nothing to the efficiency of the unit and do not detract from the perfect front but we feel very strongly that EVERY flaw should be disclosed so that you will have no bad surprises when you open your item. The only other flaw is on the power cord's label where a little bit of the silver ink has rubbed off. Again, see the pictures below. If we had not pointed them out you may have even missed them, but we point them out so that when you receive the item you will only be surprised about how good it helps make your system sound.

We prefer to do business the old fashioned way where we exchange emails like gentlemen and conduct a smooth and safe transaction for all parties. Because this is an auction, we hope that you enjoy bidding and only bid that which you intend to pay. If you want to buy this together with some other items from Synergistic, as part of a package deal, then that would be something we can discuss. Just let me know what items you want.

If you are the one who wins this auction, thank you and enjoy! Our full store policies are included below the pictures, but for now I would like to let you know about a few of them. For payment, we are happy to accept a cashier's check, a bank wire or PayPal. If PayPal is your preferred payment method then please add 3% of your purchase and shipping price to your total to cover the PayPal fees, for domestic buyers. Also, since this is a consignment sale where the equipment does not belong to us but to our customer, we need to ask that the buyer promptly inspect and test the PowerCell upon receipt and report any problems found so that if there is a problem found we could withhold funds from paying our customer to deal with the problem. We don't think there will be any problem, but once we have paid him we won't have any recourse if any problem is found. So, please take the time to unpack and test as soon after the equipment arrives as possible. Our policy states that we will hear from you within 10 days of receipt if any discrepancy is found. However, what we really want is to receive your email saying how much this enhances your listening experience right away, just as soon as possible so that we know you are satisfied. But if there is any problem at all then we want to hear about that right away so that we can make it right for you and make this a successful transaction for all concerned!

Since this is not mine and we are running it as an auction I cannot discount them much, but I can give you an extra discount on other items we sell to make you a package deal. So if you want some Revel speakers or Mark Levinson amps or any of the many other things we sell listed below then please email us about it.

We would be happy to sell your gear on consignment if that would help you to purchase this or other items from the High End Zone. In some cases we might sell your gear on consignment even if you don't want to buy more gear from us, if the gear is very nice. Our most successful customers are very busy folks and we understand that if they spend hours answering questions from Audiogoners, that is thousands of dollars that they lost in terms of what they could have earned with that time. We do have some restrictions as to what we can sell because of the manufacturer rules about online sales and so on, but we do our best to help. We can arrange to have the gear picked up from your home or office, or in some cases we can even have someone come in and pack it for you. Then we will handle all the testing, photography, sales of the item and follow up after the sale. Since many people prefer to buy from a dealer and because we have 12 years of perfect feedback on Audiogon and Ebay with no neutrals or negatives ever we can usually get more for your items than you could get yourself. Depending on the exact item, you may net as much or even slightly more having us sell it. And once you factor in the value of your time, it's a clear savings to let us sell the gear for you. So let us know if we can be of service to you in that area.

And now, back to the actual Synergistic Research Tesla PowerCell 10 SE MkII for sale. This PowerCell is your opportunity to transform your listening room at a great price and protect all of your valuable components. Thank you for your time.

The following pictures are of the actual item for sale.

While reading a review I found at 6moons.com by reviewer Jay Fisher, I found myself understanding a little more of the science behind the power which Synergistic Research has learned to wield. I have included parts of this review within this picture array for your enjoyment.

"All of the PowerCells undergo Synergistic Research's proprietary Quantum Tunneling process, the same process applied to their Tesla series of cables. During Quantum Tunneling, for precisely controlled intervals, an enormous purpose-built Tesla coil emits arcs of up to one million volts at 5 amperes zapping through the PowerCell's IEC input, EM cell, circuits and exits through the outlets to a lightening rod. The tunneling process purportedly alters the molecular structure of the conductors and conductive parts, optimizing electron pathways for optimal conductivity and flow. Regardless of the mad science appearance of the process, multiple before-and-after demonstrations on cables demonstrated to me that the process does in fact work with results that are not subtle.""The unit comes sealed with no means of access to the consumer, save the use of a saw, which would of course void the warranty. Synergistic Research made it clear that this measure had been taken to protect what they believe is ground breaking technology with applications that reach beyond home audio. I can tell you however that while touring the Synergistic Research factory, I took a peek inside a complete but unsealed PowerCell and was struck by the conspicuous absence of transformers, chokes or capacitors of any kind. Inside the PowerCell chassis lives the active EM cell perched on resonance draining supports. The cell is about the size and proportion of a large book. Other than the cell I noticed the blue active shield indicator LED, a DC coupling socket for the cell's active shield power supply, an IEC input socket with wiring to the cell and then five sets of wires running in parallel from the cell to the 5 Teslaplex AC outlets. There is no on/off button because the designer has eschewed the use of any unnecessary switches which might compromise ultimate sonic performance." "When I asked Synergistic Research designer Ted Denney to describe in layman's terms what the PowerCell does, he shared the following analogy which I paraphrase: 'Imagine the electrons in your incoming AC lines like molecules that make up water flowing through a long aqueduct that twists and turns through the landscape. As the surging water encounters the bends and drops along the way, the water molecules are bounced around often and violently. They become agitated, turbulent and noisy. Within the continuous current, the molecules move in relative chaos. Now imagine this water flowing into a deep lake. The movement of the molecules becomes calmer and reoriented. On the other end of this lake is an opening to an outgoing trough. The outgoing water in that trough is clear and flows smoothly and efficiently. In this new state, more current can move more swiftly. As in the lake, the actively shielded PowerCell's differential EM fields create an environment that transforms the chaotic electron behavior by aligning the electrons for optimal faster current flow.'" The power cord comes with 3 Enigma Bullets for tuning the sound. Here is how SR describes the sound influence of the different bullets:
• Silver Module = Open and airy
• Black Module = Warm and rich
• Grey Module = A hybrid of both the Black and Silver

As you can see from the picture below, the Enigma Bullet has a nice blue light feedback indicator to show the listener that indeed all is well. And as we mentioned above, if you look close, you can see that the label band for this power cord has a little bit of it's silver wording rubbed off.

The original owner cared well for this equipment and it is being sold with original packaging and accessories. Here is a close up of the small scratch that we mentioned earlier, on the top left outlet. And the back to see the overall effect.

In an effort to give you as much information you may wish to review before making your purchase, I share with you now a review that is specific to this make and model. In short, the reviewer Norm Luttbeg had the following to say about the differences that he experienced with the PowerCell 10 SE MkII over the original PowerCell:
"The PowerCell 10 SE Mk II clearly has a lower noise level than the original. You hear more detail and more resolution of the timbre of instruments, ambience in the recording venue, especially in the Cole and Sinatra recording, and decay of bass and chimes in both Touch and Pachelbel. The string tone of violins and basses in Swan Lake Duo were very real with precise timbre. Most notably on the Pachelbel the musician noises and position in the recording environment are quite noticeable and real. All of this detail, musical or not, leant realism to these recordings.

Secondly, the Mk II is even more dynamic than the original, which far exceeded the dynamics of the multitude of devices I have used for cleaning up my increasingly noisy AC. Marsalis' trumpet is just sassy and loud but real and often startling. The marimbas in the Pachelbel and the chimes on Touch are the very essence of percussive. The tumbrel accuracy is another improvement in the Mk II. On the Swan Lake Duo, the basses in the last part have real tonal differences and multiple locations rather than being just an ill-defined single note. The drums on the Nelson and Marsalis recording sound real and the shimmer on the bells in the Pachelbel is outstanding.

Finally, there is the soundstaging. The recordings as well as most others I have tried draw you into them or envelope you in their soundstage. It is almost as though channel separation is increased. Here the Nelson and Marsalis is the best example. Each of the instruments has a very precise location and depth. You are also quite aware of the location of the audience. This is also true of the Sinatra recording. The audience is quite evident and noisy, and even when the Basie orchestra is quiet, you are aware of its presence."

Thank you for visiting and reading through this listing, we hope that you enjoyed it. We are truly appreciative of responsible Audiogon members, please make sure you are one of them before you make us an offer. If you have questions concerning the gear or the terms of sale, please send us a message and we will be happy to get back with you as quickly as possible to discuss the shipping details or anything regarding your audio room and or home cinema needs. Thank you for your interest!

Here is the shipping info for the
$5,000 Synergistic Research Tesla PowerCell 10 SE MkII

Weight: 32 lbs

Size: 23 x 23 x 12 inches

Origin: We ship from Gila, NM 88038 / USA

All shipments that leave the High End Zone are fully insured.
In order to provide a higher level of service to our clients worldwide, we now use FedEx Express and FedEx Ground for both domestic and international shipping. Our experience is that with the fragile and high value electronics that we offer, FedEx has proven safer, more reliable and more convenient.

As shipping is very competitive and shipping options are very similar, our concern in changing had less to do with shipping costs and more to do with quality of service.

Also note that in some areas, FedEx Ground packages are delivered by FedEx Home Delivery service which works Tuesday through Saturday instead of Monday through Friday. In some cases this will mean that a package that otherwise would have come on a Monday will come on a Saturday or a Tuesday instead. Most people find this convenient, but if you do not then you can request another service instead. Commercial deliveries are always Monday-Friday.

We often pack your shipment within minutes of receiving payment, please make any special shipping request immediately after you send payment.

We will continue to offer US Post Office Express Mail International. The reason we cannot offer US Post Office Priority Mail International is because there is no online tracking possible with that service and PayPal requires that the shipping services we offer allow online tracking.

And finally, FedEx requires a phone number for the destination. Please provide your phone number in the comments section when you make you payment via PayPal.

Thank you for your interest and if you buy this, may you enjoy it greatly!

The Fine Print:

We accept payment by PayPal, wire transfers from anywhere in the world and cashier's checks drawn on US banks. We will also accept escrow if the buyer pays the fee.

If PayPal is your preferred payment method, then please add the following percentage of your purchase and shipping price to your total to cover the PayPal fees: 3% for domestic buyers and 4% for International buyers. If you pay by PayPal then your purchase must be shipped to the PayPal shipping address only, per PayPal's rules.

We may accept a personal check from long-standing Audiogon members, but it does delay shipping for clearance. Please ask before paying that way. If you desire to pay by some other means you do not see here then please email us, we will try to accommodate you if we can.

Our items are guaranteed to work properly and be in the condition we describe. If we make a mistake, if an item does not work properly, or if the item description is inaccurate, we'll offer you a full and prompt refund or exchange and issue return shipping labels at our expense.

Please check your purchases promptly upon arrival. In general, our policy is that any flaw, damage, missing item, incorrect item, etc. must be reported to High End Zone by email no later than 3 days (72 hours) after that item is delivered. If you are not able to check the item yourself in that time frame, please make the necessary arrangements to have someone else make such a check for you in your absence.

This listing is for a consignment item, please read the listing and be informed that this sale will be sealed and complete 30 days after you receive the item in the guaranteed condition, which means that we need to hear from you absolutely no later than 10 days of receipt if any discrepancy is found. We will do our best to remedy any situation that arises, while taking care of all parties involved, which includes you.

In rare cases we have allowed a return to happen for a 20% restocking fee but we will not be able to do this for our consignment items after 30 days. Any item that is returned to us due to any reason other than the item not working properly or not in the condition we describe, the buyer will be charged a 20% restocking fee. This includes sales where the buyer "changes his mind", where his wife beats him over the head for spending too much money, where some unforeseen crisis, financial or otherwise, strikes the buyer, his family, his friends/ business/ job/ pets/ favorite sports team/ etc. or any other reason that the buyer may seek to cancel the sale or return the item for some reason other than a mistake or discrepancy on the High End Zone's part. And this includes cases where the buyer changes his mind and wants to cancel the sale before he even receives the item, possibly before we even ship it. We are a small company and the moment a buyer commits to purchase one of our items we are redeploying our capital to get other items for our customers to buy. If you decide 2 hours after you buy something that you don't want it anymore, chances are we've already spent the money to restock. So the restocking fee absolutely applies in all cases of buyers changing their minds, wanting to cancel a sale after it is agreed or returning an item for any reason other than High End Zone providing a flawed or incorrect item.

We can sometimes make an exception if you change your mind in order to buy something else that we can sell you, generally a higher model. For example, If you make a deal to buy a JL f113 from us and then you decide that what you REALLY want is a Gotham g213, then we can probably work it out to make that switch for you without a restocking fee. That said, please don't buy if you're not sure that you want the item you are buying. If you need to check with your wife, your broker, your business partner, your kids, or the Supreme Court before you buy, please do that. The High End Zone cannot be held responsible for any case of wives beating their husbands for spending too much money on good gear.

Special Order merchandise cannot be returned or exchanged even if you change your mind or decide you would rather order something else. This means that there are no returns, refunds or exchanges on special order sales unless the item is received damaged or malfunctioning and the buyer promptly notifies seller of such damage or malfunction; in which case the seller will replace, repair, or refund the item at seller's expense and option. In the case of any merchandise defect or shipping damage, the buyer must report these to the seller as soon as detected and in any case within 3 days of receiving the items.

The High End Zone is a full service home theater dealer located in Southwest New Mexico. While we are well established as the premier dealer in our small town market, we also serve many clients who have multiple homes or live in far-flung places. The world is increasingly a small place and I delight in talking with and serving clients from all continents and many countries of the world. Depending on your needs we are happy to just sell you gear (note some manufacturers may prohibit us from sending gear to certain places) or we can provide a full service experience including system design, acoustic design and construction, installation, programming, and more.

*List includes lines we are factory direct with as well as lines we get through distribution or through our extensive dealer network. Most customers don't care whether we are factory direct if we provide authentic product and great service at a fair price, but if you care about this or any other issue, please ask us.

Unlike most shops that sell a very small number of lines that they are authorized for and will always try and talk customers in to buying just those few lines, we are willing to sell you virtually any line that you want. Obviously we make a lower profit if we have to get it from another dealer, but our goal is to provide you, the customer, with one stop shopping and top notch service. It's more like the business model of Amazon than the old school brick and mortar stores. We want the customer's business and we will try and earn it by providing competitive pricing and top notch service for you on whatever brands you want. Of course if you are not sure what brands are best for your needs and want us to provide expert analysis of what gear represents the best value for your dollar, we are more than happy to provide that too. We spend a great deal of time and money listening to and viewing a wide range of audio and video systems, as well as bringing in gear for long-term testing in our facilities. Most of the salesmen you might deal with in a home theater store do NOT have a high-end audio video system in their homes. I have 4 such systems, including Runcos in every nook and cranny, and I live with this stuff daily. So I truly know what works well and what is worth spending money on and what is not. And even if I used something for years and loved it, when I hear something better, that is a better value, I switch immediately. My main loyalty is to the customer and your satisfaction--I want you to buy not just one thing from us, but all your gear, for life, and to recommend us to your friends and family. To that end, I will strive to give you the best and most honest advice, fair prices and great service. And I'll try to get you any brand you want, ultimately your system needs to satisfy you, not me.

Our clients certainly enjoy their home theaters. We do as well and hope you'll also take pleasure and be inspired by the variety of these beautiful installations.

Some aspects of making an informed choice in an audiophile grade listening room or a home theater system are worth a little extra effort. We invite you to contact the High End Zone for help in making your choices, we will make the extra effort worthwhile.
