Synergistic Research Tesla x4 speaker cable


Anyone have experience with these? I am auditioning them along with a few others right now and they sound so odd that I am concerned that the pair i was sent might be defective.
They sound like I have on headphones. no real central image. I am aware of sound from each side but no image in the middle.
thanks in advance for any insight!

Hi... you mention auditioning, are you auditioning them from The Cable Company...?

If so I suggest that you check with them immediately.

If the SCs are similar in configuration to my SR Accelerators, the active shielding connectors should not be on the speaker end but on the amplifier end. If the cables you are auditioning come from the CC, the cables should be extensively broken in already.

Keep all of us informed, and the earlier suggestion made by another 'goner to call Ted or Eliot at SR is right on.

The mini-coupler end of the cable should not be on the speaker side; it should be on the amp side.

Hi Ozzy, r u saying that the spade connection/banana insertion must be oriented so that the minicoupler plug is in the upright position? If so, I'm wondering how that would affect the SCs performance?
