Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments?

I don't understand the concept of 300 hours of break-in on cords that have already undergone "Quantum Tunneling" conditioning at the factory.

I recently purchased some Gregg Straley Reality speaker cables...$250 for an 8 foot pair. Gregg suggests 20 hours to "settle in" to one's system. The cables sounded great right out of the box, and they don't sound appreciably different 14 days later. Still great.

My second set are Reality cables. The Tesla's replace them for my mains. I'll use Gregg's for my surrounds though; very very nice value cables. I wrote a fairly extensive review/comparo on Audio Circle, and Gregg approved/previewed it. But I ended up getting the Tesla's for such a good $$ that I had to go for it.

The approximately 300 hrs. of break-in I mentioned in my last post re. Tesla cables breaks down into the following routine... QuantumTunneling breaks the ice, then it's 6 days (2 in Voltage Mode and 4 in Current Mode) on the Hagerman FryKleaner and finaly 1 week on a receiver hooked up to a pair of bookshelf speakers in my garage. For power cords it's 10-14 days on the fridge... the same for outlets.

I have generally found that predominantly silver cables take twice as long on the FryKleaner™, hence the 6 days vs. 3 for copper (suggested by Hagerman).

Well, these Accelerators, fresh out of the box, sound great already, so I'm less concerned about having to "live through" 300 hours. It will be fun.

BTW, a number of folks have ping'd me about my "great $" comments. I am not authorized to name dealers, etc but I was very impressed with my dealer's customer service, he allowed me to demo some stuff in-the-home and he did not charge me for shipping. Along with a 10% discount, this was a great deal in my books, being out in the boonies away from brick-n-mortar. Thx

I agree with Rhirsch, the Synergistic cables need about 300 hours to break in when installed. The Quantum Tunneling only conditions the cables and Elliott is better to explain this than I am. The actual use in your system breaks them in. They sound great when first installed for about 50 hours and then the bass drops out and treble cuts a bit and then one day...BLAMO... it all returns with greater resolution and impact and gets even better after 500 hours. These are my findings in my system. Dont move them too much once installed or it's break in time again, but to a little lesser degree.
