Have you actually compared the Accelerators to the Absolute Reference Cables ?.....the dealers all say they are better, because they have to....I can read about it here on some of these threads that claim they are better but have YOU actually compared these cables.... I have....and I still have my Absolute Reference Cables throughout my entire system except for three Shunyata King Cobra V1's, which by the way I happen to enjoy over their ''newer'' models as well. Point being.....newer is NOT always a guarantee that is better.
Reference level cables that are 10-years old? buy?
Would you buy 10-year old cables? I just found at a local audio store on consignment some old Synergistic Research cables. Upon some research online, they look like the referenre cables reviewed in 1998 in Stereophile. These were originally retailed at something like $6k, $7k each back then. I can have them at 80% off, so somewhere in the $1,200 range. Still expensive for cables, but what the heck.
I am intending to bring them home later today to audition in my system. My current cables include 10-year old MIT MI-330 Pro XLR, Transparent Ultra. The newest cables in my system are a pair of Cardas Golden Ref & Pure Note Paragon Enhanced.
These Synergistic Research cables would replace the MIT, Transparent, and Pure Note.
