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 never had any luck with the Cable Company.

Some of the problems I had with them.

1.When I call, the only available Sales Rep is on another call, the operator would tell me someone would call me back. No one ever calls back.

2. Emails go unanswered.

3. In the rare occasion I was able to speak to a sales Rep, they never had what I wanted to audition in stock.

Now, maybe its because I have bought very little from them and they do not view me as a potential customer.
Actually, I feel I never buy anything from them because of the problems I have listed above.

If you get to audition the cables you want from them, big congrats! If not, let me know , I can recommend a better Dealer. Check out my system, you will see its all Synergistic Cables. None bought from the Cable Company.

Good Luck!

Since the Powercell came out last , that was my last purchase.
If I was starting out now, I would purchase the SE 10 Powercell first.
That one item will make the biggest change for your entire system.
