Synergistic Research Tesla x4 speaker cable


Anyone have experience with these? I am auditioning them along with a few others right now and they sound so odd that I am concerned that the pair i was sent might be defective.
They sound like I have on headphones. no real central image. I am aware of sound from each side but no image in the middle.
thanks in advance for any insight!

Hi... you mention auditioning, are you auditioning them from The Cable Company...?

If so I suggest that you check with them immediately.

If the SCs are similar in configuration to my SR Accelerators, the active shielding connectors should not be on the speaker end but on the amplifier end. If the cables you are auditioning come from the CC, the cables should be extensively broken in already.

Keep all of us informed, and the earlier suggestion made by another 'goner to call Ted or Eliot at SR is right on.

:) listening,

Ed

Thanks folks. These are cable co auditions. Hopefully, they will not require that kind of breakin time b/c I cant keep them that long.

Tvad - Is there any way for me to check on the mis wiring?
Jimmy, I believe that if the wires are out of phase, you just need to flip the positive and negative leads for one wire only at the speaker end. . . . if that is the problem you will hear a very sizeable improvement. . . if it isn't, they will sound very much worse than they do now. G.
