George,
Hmmm, I replaced my Nordost Valhalla interconnects and speaker wires for new Synergistic Research Tesla Apex and Precision Reference interconnects and Apex speaker wires. For the record the combined cost for all my new Tesla cables- two pairs of interconnects and a pair of speaker wires was less then what I paid for one pair of Nordost Valhalla speaker wires. Also my system cost me far more then what I paid for my new Tesla cables and I can, and did, afford cables that were much more expensive. I choose SR Tesla cables based on their performance, not price.
The service I have had from both Ted and Elliot at SR has been nothing short of amazing just like the performance of these Tesla cables. I was an old SR cable user that switched to Nordost for the detail and speed but I always missed the warmth and "glow" of my old SR Des. Ref. cables. Now I have all the speed and detail of my Valhalla’s (and then some) with the warmth of my old Des. Ref. cables and a holographic 3-D sound field and smoothness that neither the old SR or Nordost cables can match- again at less then a third the price of my Nordost Valhalla cables. What’s not to like?
Not trying to start a flame war but my experience and conclusions are nothing like yours- sorry but I could not be happier. Synergistic Research is one company I really like. Perhaps you should try Synergistic Research Tesla cables before passing judgment however I can see why these cables are going to shake things up- the longer they are on the market the more people are going to find out about them and the more absurd some cables prices are going to seem by comparison.
