Buying Synergistic Research ICs so difficult

I've put in a request with the cable co for a recommendation so I can audition different SRs in my system. I've done the same with their used cable dept because I want to trade my VDs in towards them. I've filled out the tesla challenge form and I've emailed Ted Denney even.

Other than a few questions about my old VD cables from usedcable.com I've gotten no response from anyone.

I'd just buy the dang things but I don't know which ones will work best with my system within my budget. I don't even know what my budget is given that I haven't received a quote yet.

I know I don't want to go any lower than the AU79 and I probably can't go any higher than accelerators. Do I do full AU79 though? mix with magnetic tricon? do full mag tricon? full accelerator? accelerator mixed with something else? Link to my system should be there next to my username.

I have no idea how any of those compare to my VDs... they are original master series.

*sigh*

The Cable Company is first rate. Calling them is always the best, quickest way to communicate. E-mail is 'iffy:O) I always call directly if possible, no matter what the company or issue...old school rules!

Hi Adhaney -

I recently auditioned the SR Accelerators and the Vortex which was just discontinued.
Fplanner2000 is correct - each level is designed for different applications.
When I inserted the Vortex in my system (Spendor speakers) the presentation sunk back way behind the speaker, a little darker sounding but no loss of detail. It did not mesh as well as my audience AU24.
However...when I put the Accelerator in the presentation was went so far forward in front of the speakers it was as if a new upgraded component was inserted in my system.

I have had wonderful response from the cable company. Whenever I E mail them, I always direct my email to John Pharo. He always e mails me back, usually the same day or worst case, the next day. I've been dealing with them for years and have never had a communication problem. Just my 2 cents

We figured out the problem. Their system was sending the emails to an old email address so I was never getting them. Now that we got that figured out I usually get a reply the same day.

Cables will be here tomorrow!
