Why don't gold based cable fans try Synergistic

I am looking to try new cables and have been reading the archives in cable forums on all the great cable recommendations. I'm trying to get a handle on how the Synergistic Tesla range that I once owned compare to the gold based cable offerings.

However for some strange reason hardly any of the members here who seem to have tried the various gold based faves (Gabriel Gold, Jade, KCI, Purist and others) have not been tempted to try the popular Synergistic cables and not much here in the way of comparisons. I am not sure why but there seems to be two camps.

Anyways hoping to get a comparison as I had the Tesla Accelerators in my system for a short while and wonder if the gold based cables have the same naturalness, depth of soundstage, air and separation of the Teslas. I should add that as good as the Accelerators were sound wise I did not like the idea of introducing more electricity into my system with the active shielding hence looking for comparable alternatives.

eaach metal in its pure form--either copper or silver or gold, have their own sonic signature. notice i have excluded alloys and mixed metal construction.

i suspect that each of us prefers one of the three metals in a particular application and so would prefer that metal to the teslas.

or, more obviously, people prefer different cables because of complementary or reinforcing colorations.

those who say that they don't want any coloration in their systems should realize that since all components are imperfect, coloration can be minimized but not eliminated.

each of us tries to find a way to satisfy our idiosyncratic preferences.
