Why don't gold based cable fans try Synergistic

I owned the Tesla Accelerator interconnects, but found they did little for me in terms of providing a relaxed presentation. I burned them in for about 200 hours on my Frykleaner Pro and I spent a good deal of time listening to them in my system. They were certainly detailed, but ultimately unfulfilling. Otherwise, I've auditioned a pretty fair number of other wires, but none of the gold based ones. After a considerable amount of reading as well as the exchange of e-mails with others, I've decided to try the route of some of those gold based cables. I'm ready for something that goes beyond the descriptive terminology of incredibly vivid,sharply defined and "miles" of soundstage depth---something that contributes to a deeper,more satisfying level of relaxed enjoyment.While there's no guarantee,it would be nice if one of the gold based cables helped take me where I'm looking/listening to go.

I LOVE the SR Tesla active range and have no issue with Active cables- uncompromised natualness, air, and sound stageing. I started with Accelerators but landed on Apex and Precision Reference. That said SR has a gold based intercnnect- AU79. You can also try Magnetic TrIcon or mix and match. Neither are Active.

I'd like to know what you and others think as I am going to cable my office system soon.

I found the new Tesla Series lacking.

Lacking sufficient value and performance accordingly. tried the Accelerators and then the Acoustic Refs and came to my senses thereafter. I felt if within two steps of the top model I couldn't be satisfied, forget it. Also with the inherent need to cable my system throughout with Tesla models, they priced me out of that game.

I've used SR for a long time now but the Teslas promise of performance costs too much for what they give. Way too much.

Hopefully within the next number of weeks I plan on trying my first gold based interconnect. I'm thinking of Gabriel Gold Rapture as the price seems somewhat lower than some others.

I have not changed equipment since I had the Accelerators but obviously this won't be an easy comparison since I no longer have the Accelerators. I'll be curious if the Raptures can bring something special to the table like the Teslas did. As mentioned there really was something unique about the soundstage depth portrayal as well as extra air but the general tone was not much different than my cheaper and conventional (non-active) Discovery sig interconnects.

So, I'm hoping the gold based cable will bring more to the table than just a different hue (which actually I wouldn't mind just for something different as I'm bored with the sound of my current set up)and also have some other special qualities.

Shellie I really did not consider the lower range Teslas and maybe should take a look at their offerings.

I tried the SR Apex and Precision Ref ICs in my system and they didn't work for me. I was really hopeful that the SR interconnects would significantly better my current ICs, but unfortunately that wasn't the case. My Audio Metallurgy ICs were as good or better in almost every respect.

With the SR cables the music was delivered from a blacker background and the mid-bass was better, but in all other respects the AM cables were their equal or better. Plus the AM ICs were simply more involving, IMHO.

Next up will be Indras from DAC to preamp and Valhalla from preamp to amp. Hopefully, this attempt will be more fruitful.
