I agree with Leica_man on his comparison. I had both Vortex and Accelerator.
Audphile1, it took a LONG time but the treble really smooth our and became more natural after Quantum Tunneling and a VERY long break-in 500+ hours. As far as more impact, Synergistic suggested I mix and match my system with others in their line and try an Acoustic Reference on the CDP for more dynamic impact and even warmer liquid midrange and bass. I will soon demo one from The Cable Company and report my findings in a few weeks.
