Buying Synergistic Research ICs so difficult

I never had any luck with the Cable Company.

Some of the problems I had with them.

1.When I call, the only available Sales Rep is on another call, the operator would tell me someone would call me back. No one ever calls back.

2. Emails go unanswered.

3. In the rare occasion I was able to speak to a sales Rep, they never had what I wanted to audition in stock.

Now, maybe its because I have bought very little from them and they do not view me as a potential customer.
Actually, I feel I never buy anything from them because of the problems I have listed above.

If you get to audition the cables you want from them, big congrats! If not, let me know , I can recommend a better Dealer. Check out my system, you will see its all Synergistic Cables. None bought from the Cable Company.

Good Luck!

Well.... I got half the cables today. 1pr each of AU79s, Accelerator and Acoustic reference. I was going to start with the AU79s and then move up the range but since I won't have the other pair of AUs and accels till tomorrow I couldn't help myself and jumped right in with the combo that Elliot at SR had suggested. Acoustic reference between the cd and pre and accelerator between the pre and amp.

First I listened to a few well known songs with the VDs, nice as always. Then I swapped the SRs in but did not hook up the active shielding. Bit less forward, a bit more clarity and ease, but not a huge difference. So I hooked up the MPCs and listened again. At first I didn't notice a difference.... but then details started to pop out at me... instruments that weren't there before, individual guitar strings, then more bass, beautiful midrange, beautiful natural vocals.

I had to turn things off because it was getting late and the room had heated up to almost 80 but first thing in the AM I'm going to do an extended listening session. I don't even know if I want to bother with the AU79s although I might give the double accelerator run a listen. I'll swap the VDs back in after a few days and see if things change.

Hi Adhaney, if you get a chance try some of Synergistic speaker cables as well, the effects are cumulative.

Since the Powercell came out last , that was my last purchase.
If I was starting out now, I would purchase the SE 10 Powercell first.
That one item will make the biggest change for your entire system.

Adhaney, sorry I just noticed this thread. I would have recommended that you carefully read the Synergistic Research web page on interconnects. I have found the information there and what I have heard talking with the Synergistic Research people corresponds and closely fits with my personal experiences. I would imagine that the Cable Company replicates this also.

I would also hasten to say that you should not expect to hear the real benefits of these cables for about three days of settling in, even if they were already broken in by other's use.

I love the Accelerator ics and the much more expensive Apex, but not the Precision Reference, but would again strongly suggest that this is in my system.

Ozzy, I would certainly agree with what you say about the Powercell, but I think Adhaney is taking care of first things first.
