Audioquest DBS vs Synergistic Research Tesla?

I agree with you that the Duntech reveal great differences and I must try myself. I have owned AQ Midnight, Cello Strings, MIT CVT 770 an Yter, and I'm not fully satisfied with with the results. Next week I will try a pair of PAD Proteus....

Here in Spain the AQ and. specially, the SR are very very rare to find. I read a lot of good opinions about this cables and I think that could be a good option for my system.

Maybe there is not a clear winner between the speaker cables of this two brands. But could someone tell me the main similarities and differences between them? (SR Precision Reference vs AQ Volcano, Kilimanjaro or K2)

Yesterday, I spend a couple of hours, with two audiophile friends, doing a comparative between my Yter speaker cables and a pair of PAD Proteus Rev. B (biwire, but with only one pair of spades connected to the highs binding posts and the other left unconnected; we cannot check the fluid level inside the cables).

Our results were: definition in the voices with the Proteus were superb, and also the definition in the middle and middle bass was superior.
The Yter was however more dynamic and open, specially on tops, and produce a more lush and pleasant sound. The piano notes in the Yter were more open and rich, with more transparency. The soundstage was also a litle big with the Yter, and the room was more filled with sound with it.
Conclusion: for me no one of both cables was a clear winner.

Wow, a lot of answers from my last message! The last cable that I try in my system was the Audionote Kondo KSL Spz. This was really good in all the terms: dynamic, soundstage, blackground, top to bottom extension, fast and articulated bass,... IMHO the only drawback of this cable is that was a little too thin in the upper bass and bass middle range, specially for classic music. May be this cable give his best in high efficiency systems, no as mine.

After that, I thought that I need a mixed copper/silver SC. I've found a Stealth Hybrid MLT at good price and I bought it. Now I'm waiting his arrival.

Shellie, 'If you can do a side by side comparison you'll hear what I mean' That means that you prefer clearly the SR?

Jimmywho, as you owned both technologies your opinion is very interesting. Apart from the fact that the SR have more inconvenient in his installation, what technology do you prefer?

As I want also to upgrade my interconnects in the front end, do you have also the opinion that the SR IC are also better than the AQ?
