Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments?

Geo:

I agree with Audphile1....you MUST audition the Synergistic Tesla's. Like I've been saying...most profound and delightful find I've ever encountered in the world of cables.

I'm interested to see if these IC's made as profound a difference in your system as they did mine. I'm really sold on their cable technology....for me the proof is in the pudding -- my system has never sounded better.

Audphile1:

I also have the Accelerator speaker cables in my system right now and I agree with your assessment; excellent cables for the money (actually a bargain -- based on what I'm hearing!). I would also add the following comments; I've always heard the term "layers".... but have never REALLY experienced what these actually were until I inserted these cables. Wow...layers, layers, layers! Secondly, These cables have such an expansive soundstage that the overall presentation reminds me more of my floor to ceiling electrostats versus dynamic drivers 48" off the ground! Thirdly, speed -- very fast and precise. Finally, did I mention airy? For me and my Pass Labs gear, these cables are the real deal -- and I've heard a lot of cables.

OK -- here's my two cents: I actually really value most Stereophile & TAS reviews. And if my memory serves me well, Synergistic has always gotten great reviews. I read the news from CES and decided to try some Telsa Accelerator IC's in my system. WOW....hands down, they smoke....absolutely smoke the following (which I've been audition for the past 9 mo's or so): AQ DBS's, Harmonic Tech's, MIT (Shotgun & Oracle V2.1's). I'm listening to them as I write this...they are SICK. I'm now trying to scrape together the dough to get the Tesla Speaker cables. Reply if anyone wants to know how they sound.

Rb99: Not a problem. Synergistics' Customer Service from my experiences are second to none -- those guys are great. They just seem to want folks to be happy with their products and they bend over backwards to accomodate. It's refreshing to do business with a company like that.

Leica_man: Sorry if my comments were confusing; let me explain: I've owned numerous MIT's for the past 5 years or so....only made sense to stay w/ a line I was familar with with my new Pass Labs' gear. Problem is that their cables are so expensive these days that I decided to try some less expensive (Harmonic tech'). HT's are Ok for the money. Fast forward; I was at my local dealer about 6 weeks ago (his sales technique is to send stuff home with the hopes it never comes back)! Off I went w/ two pairs of AQ Cheetah's. Nice cables. Never being content, I read about the Teslas at CES and my take was that they were all the buzz there. So I got my hands on some to see what all the hubub was about. Took a day or so to settle in and woooow. I remember thinking how come I've never checked out any SR's before?? Anyways, these cables are really silly good. IMO, absolutely crush all the cables listed above...and priced right with AQ, MIT, etc. I've never heard cables do so much right -- frickin' awesome.

Leica man:

This is Scottyw, still loving the S.R. Telsa's. I echo the sentiments of Rb99 (BTW GREAT REVIEW Rb99 of the Telsa's, nice work!) it's pretty much what I'm hearing and what I've been trying to inform other AG'ers of....I mean that's what this forum is all about right?

I'm to the point where I've liquidated all my other cables to move my to a complete Telsa set up....phono and all. I can't wait to really hear what's on all that vinyl!

Have you ever tried any of their power cables? If not, treat yourself....no bullshit they are the real deal (like the Telsa's). I have the entry level powered ones.

Leica:

From what I understand, you are experiencing from what Ted Denney of S.R. refers to as cable trama. That is, whenever any cable is moved the molecules are disturbed and totally changes/collapses the sound. Case in point: I was recently speaking to him about the Accelerator Speaker cables and that I had reinserted them into my system.....I was going to be out town for a week....he said plug them in and let the active shield settle in you won't believe the sound when you get back. Sure enough, I got back into town and presto the magic was back. Bottom line: don't mess w/ the Tesla's once they are in your system!

Audphile1:

That stuff is so trippy to me. I've never noticed it as dramatically as I did with the Teslas. Which by the way, continue to sound better and better. I probably have 150 hours or so on them now -- I'm very happy with them.

Audiolui:

My phono is the next frontier using Tesla's. I've been so in awe of my cd playback w/ these cables I haven't listened to record in a month -- truthfully I can't wait to hear what they really sound like. I'm still dumbfounded as to the level of performance of these cables and I have the entry level Accelerators (not the apex's)! Like I've been preachin' WOW.

I'll keep you posted on my findings!

TOLD YOU SO a year ago: (T.A.S) Cable of the Year -- Synergistic Tesla Accelerators

Teslaphiles and other truth seekers..... well -- hate to say but the Audio Authority (T.A.S) has validated everything I've been prechin' for the past year: Teslas rule! Of all the cable out there they choose this line as Cable of the Year. The other cable chosen: Tara Labs AT 10 TIMES THE PRICE! Sure.

Update: over the past 6 months I've upgraded most of my cables up the Tesla line. Right now as I type this Sade is 6 ft out into my room...and the soundstage extends well beyound my side and rear walls...really amazing. I attribute some of this to the new power cords of which I've sold off all my old stuff to buy all Teslas. I've also upgraded to Acoustic Reference speaker cables and moving up to Precision Reference ic's. Fellow Teslaphiles, listen up -- I won't steer you wrong! Just had to chime in since it's been a while to say: TOLD YA' SO.

I too thought the Luxman/Synergistic/Vivid room at RMAF was in the top 3 I heard -- and I myself kept returning. The room had tons of air, soundstage galore, and a very organic sound. I was surprised that the Vivid/Luxman combo filled the room so well. The real shocker for me was the ART Acoustic Resonator System demonstration from Ted Denney. I sat through the demo several times over two days and was very impressed with what these devices achieve. The bass was much firmer (less bloated), the acoustic images just floated in the room and were.....clearer. The system sounded more "Vivid" with the system employed... how appropriate.

I also liked the following suites: YG Acoustics, Kharma, Symposium Panaoramas, Scaenea(?), and the Genesis room. Ironically, most of the above mentioned suites' components costed 3-10 times what the Luxman/Synergistic/Vivid did. Anyways, great sound indeed.
