Why don't gold based cable fans try Synergistic

Enamored by the recent hype, for the past two weeks I have been home auditioning the SR Tesla A and Absolute Ref power cords. I must say that their house sound are unmistakable, (I own the Designer Ref2 and Apex ic's for some years). Almost always impressive at first listen (that's why i bought their ic's then), after which it gets a bit tiring over time. Too energetic (forceful) lows (mostly), highs (slightly)--over emphasized imo. With slightly recessed mids which can at times sound quite thin (pc), their ic have better fuller mids with nice palpable bloom. Both lines are very very quiet, hence good resolution and great sound staging. But somehow still not for me, as I felt there's still a slight bit too much equalization going on with their cable for my taste--albeit in a much lesser degree with their current Tesla Line. However, I can also see that how in some system, given their strength, they will no doubt sound spectacular. This time around, I think I will settle for the cheaper PS Audio AC12 pc (same dealer loan btw), which in my current system sounded just more natural and relaxed--better balanced across the frequency range and more organic sounding (richer, fleshier midrange).

And oh as to be more relevant to thread, imo one of the better cable maker implementing silver gold technology is Siltech--best of both world. Try auditioning one that's within your budget (used most likely), to get a taste of their sound. Good luck!

Bvdiman, there is little denying that Siltech is excellent. I had several of the Compass Lake and Emperor cables. I would love to be able to compare the top SRs with the Siltechs. I am not certain which would be more realistic.

Tbg, "Trelja, I will let others decide whether there was any ethical issue in my wanting to do a review on these speakers but the importer's unwillingness to put a pair out for review and my buying them after being very impressed with them at the RMAF."

We are the "others" you talk about. I've received plenty of offline correspondence to back that up, and thus, our raising these issues. Ray Charles would have no trouble reading into "the importer's unwillingness to put a pair out for review" when it comes to you writing them up. Let's not try to revise history, that episode precipiated your firing from the reviewing position.

Tbg, "I afraid, in my opinion you only make snide remarks."

I sincerely doubt one who has paid any attention over the 10+ years I've been a part of this site could say that with a clear conscience.

Tbg, "Furthermore, I cannot see what relevance this has on this thread."

See my first paragraph. In other words, what you bring the discussion in terms of how you've obtained the product, and its corollary, what the truth actually is.

I find my SR cabling to be very neutral and transparent, neither warm or fatiguing at all. I have a very resolving system and they present in a very natural, organic manner, neither adding nor subtracting from the soundstage. I have had other brands of cabling in my system and have discovered that its really all about the SYNERGY with your other gear. I have a tough time agreeing with some of the blanket statements above regarding increased dynamics caused by these cables(at least the newer ones which I have), because that was and is not the case with me. I find that I can now "hear into the music" like never before with my SR cabling, etc., which I really enjoy. The realism is not exaggerated but just "there".
