Synergistic Research Element Copper vs Tungsten


Anyone tried both the speaker cables and the ICs? What will make a bigger difference, Tungsten speaker cable over Copper or Tungsten IC over Copper?
It seems like many folks found the Tesla Precision Ref speaker cable a big step up from the Accelerator, far more than the equivalent IC upgrade. The same with the Element series?

I have yet to try the speaker cables but I tried and purchased the interconnects. To be candid the copper ic's did not impress me. The tungsten were another story however. They are sound staging champs. They give you excellent detail and highs,lows and midrange are all very well presented
Hasse - If price is no object I would look at the cts-that being said they were above my pay grade so I didn't even audition them. I am guessing they have the best of both worlds. I could be really happy with the copper elements. In fact, in my system, they seem to have better or "more" bass, which is something that my system lacks. I thought the tungsten speaker cables had less base (in some systems it could be viewed as 'better bass' then the elements coppers but they had a certain rightness to them. They seemed more liquid, with a greater ease, while also being more transparent. I'm not sure if they are worth the extra dollars over the copper but I bought them. (I had an all tesla accel. system before but have demoed quite a few others.)
Thanks Solda, the CTS is unfortunately way beyond my wallet. I´m using Magnepan 3.7´s, which I would not describe as bass heavy :), so perhaps the Copper would be a better match....both for the speakers and my wallet.
Did you found the bass of the Copper congested/bloated or just fuller with more body?
BTW, I already have the Accelerator XLR, did they stack up well against the other cables you have demoed?
