Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments?

Rydenfan,

You are not going to believe this I had my response already to go and then I had a quick power outage. So here we go again with less info. In my opinion the bass on the Accelerator was tighter and quicker then the Acoustic Research the midrange on the AR was warmer. The sound staging on both cables were great. I close my eyes and there are no speakers in the room. Don't get me wrong I like the AR that's why I have decided to give the Apex IC's a go.

Foster 9, Fplanner2000, I agree.
I think we Audio guys are giving the Cable Company too much easy business.

If I can scrape enough funds together to buy a Hologram A for my Preamp would that be a sure bet to be better than a T2, or T3 ?

I just dont want to buy a T2 and always wonder if the Hologram A would have been better because then I would eventually sell it to upgrade anyhow.

Ozzy...

... not to throw a wrench into the works, but Ted of Synergistic Research uses the T2 on the pre-amp in the main system at the factory. I would suggest ordering a T2 first, get familiar with it, and in the meantime try to demo a Hologram A.

And remember, you could start with the Hologram A and always wonder if the T2 (for considerably less money) would have been better.

Ted stresses this fact often... you don't always have to buy the most expensive cable to get the best out of a given component.

I have also heard that Ted made the T-2 SPECIFICALLY for pre-amps with the Hologram A SPECIFICALLY for amps, even in SOTA systems - you can read about the T-2 on the SR site. I decided to listen to the guy who built the cords and am happy I did - its not about the money, its about the "system match", a refreshing concept in this big-bucks hobby....

Wow, I had nothing but good experience with The Cable Co. they had every Synergistic Research cable I wanted to demo. I use the same guy all of the time I never felt as if he was rushing me off the phone and/or didn't have time to talk to me. At times when I was unable to reach him via phone he always calls back. When I call my local dealer I'm unable to reach my guy I deal with at times. We need to understand they do get busy and we aren't their only customer.

As far as screening calls from my understanding some of their sales team/reps live in different parts of the country and the calls are routed to them. I know my guy isn't in New Hope, PA.

Regarding customer service when I received the demo cables there was an error made by TCC I made 1 phone call and the problem was resolved on the spot that day, 2 days I received the correct cables and they paid for the shipping.

My local dealer sells Audio Quest cables for the most parts that's it. Actually I save 8% sales tax dealing with The Cable Co. and I received a very nice discount on my purchase and the shipping was free. For the record my local dealer would not have given me the same type of discount on anything, actually it's like pulling teeth trying to get any type of discount from them.

The other local dealer I wouldn't give those clowns the time of day they are nothing but a bunch of snobs. When you walk into a store with no customers and it takes more then 15 minutes for someone to greet you that speaks volumes. Enough said...

Upon finding out the products I wanted and what type of system I have they then wanted to kiss my hand as if I were Michael Corleone.

If you guys know of another audio company where you can demo scores of different cables and/or products please let me know.
