Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments?


I just bought Synergistic Research's new Tesla Accelerator speaker cables and Tesla Vortec interconnects from The Cable Company. I have tried many demo cables from The Cable Company over the past year. These were the first to give me that WOW factor I been looking for so long.

Does anyone have these cables and can you please post your impressions and comments? Thanks.

I'm auditioning the Tesla T3 pc starting on my Blue Circle BMPH integrated and now moving it to the PS Premier. On the Premier the holigraphic (3d) affect of the T3 has really taken affect unlike any pc I've had. On the Premier The T3 has also improved on the upper clarity and midrange detail of the system. It's done extremely well and I'll be ordering one. Highly recommended.
Rydenfan, my experience auditioning a T3 was mixed. Initially I tried it on my Blue Circle BMPH integrated. After a very extended settling in period where I liked it a lot, then didn't like it as much, I tried it on my PS Premier where a similar experience occurred. Ultimately, I ended up sending it back to the dealer without purchasing.
With the T3 connected to the Premier, my system became very fatiguing to the point of painful. This is how I know there was no synergy in that config. As soon as I removed the T3 from the Premier and replaced it with a different cord, the fatigue was gone. I must say that I never experienced that level of fatigue before. The performance of the T3 will be system and component dependent like most cables, but I'm sure for some it will be a nice addition, just not in my setup.
Do you have any other Synergistic Cables in your system?

No, no others.
In my opinion you can do better price-wise by going through a dealer. My dealer charged $650 for a T3 and has demo cords for audition.
Ozzy, with the Cable Company it's going to be hit or miss. I had a couple good experiences with them when auditioning interconnects and purchasing small items. Had a different rep at the time. It seems different reps handle their business in different ways. I also purchased tubes from them with the balance on my account. But the fellow I worked with the last time offered little off retail price for the cord I wanted to audition (T3). The dealer I worked with came up with a nice discount right away, no haggling and was straightforward about it.
Rydenfan, my experience is that you have to give a Tesla cable a long time to sit untouched and settle into your system before you make final judgements. Like some others, I would say around 250-300 hours.
In my opinion, the 20a amp adapter has to be a weak link and will alter (however much) the sonic end result of the SR T3. Unless the Cable Company informed you up front that they could not send a 20 amp T3 cord and asked if sending a 15 amp T3 along with a 20 amp adapter was OK, this is poor service on the Cable Company's part. Mistakes happen; my dealer sent me a 20 amp T3 because he didn't look in the box before shipping it and assumed there was a 15 amp cord in there. I was disappointed when I opened the box only to find a 20 amp cord I could not use. So it was shipped back; but the dealer made things right with me. That was a mistake on the part of the dealer. But this sounds like the Cable Company did not have 20 amp T3 in stock and expects you to accept the compromise of using a 20 amp adapter. The Cable Company's service in my experience has been inconsistent, sometimes absolutely great, sometimes not so great.
I have the Powercell 10SE mkII and have tried one of the Tesla power cords, so I follow this thread.
