Buying Synergistic Research ICs so difficult


I've put in a request with the cable co for a recommendation so I can audition different SRs in my system. I've done the same with their used cable dept because I want to trade my VDs in towards them. I've filled out the tesla challenge form and I've emailed Ted Denney even.

Other than a few questions about my old VD cables from usedcable.com I've gotten no response from anyone.

I'd just buy the dang things but I don't know which ones will work best with my system within my budget. I don't even know what my budget is given that I haven't received a quote yet.

I know I don't want to go any lower than the AU79 and I probably can't go any higher than accelerators. Do I do full AU79 though? mix with magnetic tricon? do full mag tricon? full accelerator? accelerator mixed with something else? Link to my system should be there next to my username.

I have no idea how any of those compare to my VDs... they are original master series.

*sigh*

I had good luck with the cable co. when I ordered Synergistic Tricon Analog phono IC and after two weeks it still wasnt delivered. A customer service rep from cable co. called Synergistic and got back to me within 5 minutes, explaining that Synergistic's Tesla coil that they burn their cables with had been down and that they had just gotten it fixed. She called me back two days later to say it had just been shipped direct to me and I got it the day after that. By the way, the Tricon Analog, which I put on my TW Acustic Raven One, is absolutely fantastic, sounded good out of the box, terrific after about 3 days.--Mrmitch
