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.

The bottom line is if you can A/B/C it with statisticaly reproduced results...then it's true. The nice thing about doing this is that you can prove ONLY to yourself (you can lead a horse to water...but) that there is no subconcsious bias involved in trying out new cables. I have tried many different cable designs, in this A/B/C fashion, and only one cable has uniquely presented itself with a profound, consistent signature. These are in my system presently. All 32 pairs (8 XLR, 4 RCA, 4 XLR-RCA). Altogether, they cost me less than the cost of one of my components.
Antipodes...could you tell your cable from another in a blind test on a completely different system you have never heard before?
Ozzy, I can assure you that my systems can resolve even a flea fart. Primary system includes Wyetech Opal, Origin Live Resolution w/Illustrious arm, zyx airy 3, Gamut D200 MRK II, Theil 2.4, and ASR Basis Excl. Secondary system inlcudes Audible Illusions L2, MAC 2500's, Yamaha PL-90 DD TT with ceramic tonearm and VDH Calibri, JLTI phono pre, JBL 4312C, Jolida 100CDP. Tertiary system includes Roland Concerto pre, Rowland 201's, MMG's, Denon Pro CDR, B&O 6004 with MM1 cartrige, and Einstein phono pre. Quadrary system includes all DIY projects of mine, F5 clone, aleph pre, single driver low watt speakers, Consonance droplet cdp. Fifth system has all DIY tube components. As I stated in another post...I cant for the life of me get rid of anything that comes through the door. I have swapped places of every one of these components in all ways imaginable. Trust me, I know cables. (thats about it thought LOL.) Also, my father's system (which I like to think is really mine) consists of PASS X250.5, VS Vr4sr, Hovland HP200, esoteric CDP. Those components have also made it into my swaray. Forget about all the previous components he had prior to these.
I also own the Audiodharma Ozzy. And the Manley skipjack.
What some folks fail to realize is that cable burn-in is not just strictly dependent on reaching conductor vs. dielectric entropy. Burn-in MAINLY facilitates annealing between the crystalline structures of the metal. What this means is this (this is going to be HEAVY so prepare yourself) IF YOU DISCONNECT THE ALREADY BURNED-IN CABLE FROM YOUR SYSTEM, YOU HAVE JUST ELIMINATED THE BURNED-IN ADVANTAGE FROM THE CABLE! Any bending of the cable in any way will remove the tight bonding between the crystals. You would have to burn-in again. And yes, you guessed it, that means you can’t do it on the cooker THEN remove the cable again. DIELECTRIC SYNERGY IS NOT AFFECTED THIS WAY. Once dielectric absorption has become stable, its good to go (for the most part...I'm not getting into this right now.) Ozzy, you have made some suggestions to me, allow me to make some to you. Familiarize yourself with my components. This should give you an idea of their resolving capabilities. Then, read up on the Skipjack. Afterwards, look up annealing on WIKI...and make sure to locate the correct definition. You could also read a little on entropy theory. But, it’s very confusing. It basically means the potential state of system, when the statistical factors of order vs. disorder are calculated. I forgot to mention that I am also a musician. Not professionally, but by choice. I was trained in Classical piano, but took up guitar and drums for fun. Guitar...not so much (imitating BORAT), drums...WATCH OUT VINNIE COLAIUTA!
Frankk, I have only experienced one "golden glow". The one pictured over the Lord's head.
