Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments?

Ozzy, with the Cable Company it's going to be hit or miss. I had a couple good experiences with them when auditioning interconnects and purchasing small items. Had a different rep at the time. It seems different reps handle their business in different ways. I also purchased tubes from them with the balance on my account. But the fellow I worked with the last time offered little off retail price for the cord I wanted to audition (T3). The dealer I worked with came up with a nice discount right away, no haggling and was straightforward about it.

I've pretty much run out of patience with the Cable Company, after buying cables from them for years. I would rather do business with a dealer that has the time to answer my questions the first time I call, instead of having to call back repeatedly and then feel rushed when I finally get through. I have a good guy at Cable Company who has been helpful, however not so much over the past several months. I guess their business model has changed. I have recently discovered I can get considerably better pricing, demo ability, no brain damage and much better service with a good dealer. That is the route I have chosen for the foreseeable future.

Rydenfan,

You are not going to believe this I had my response already to go and then I had a quick power outage. So here we go again with less info. In my opinion the bass on the Accelerator was tighter and quicker then the Acoustic Research the midrange on the AR was warmer. The sound staging on both cables were great. I close my eyes and there are no speakers in the room. Don't get me wrong I like the AR that's why I have decided to give the Apex IC's a go.

Foster 9, Fplanner2000, I agree.
I think we Audio guys are giving the Cable Company too much easy business.

If I can scrape enough funds together to buy a Hologram A for my Preamp would that be a sure bet to be better than a T2, or T3 ?

I just dont want to buy a T2 and always wonder if the Hologram A would have been better because then I would eventually sell it to upgrade anyhow.

Ozzy...

... not to throw a wrench into the works, but Ted of Synergistic Research uses the T2 on the pre-amp in the main system at the factory. I would suggest ordering a T2 first, get familiar with it, and in the meantime try to demo a Hologram A.

And remember, you could start with the Hologram A and always wonder if the T2 (for considerably less money) would have been better.

Ted stresses this fact often... you don't always have to buy the most expensive cable to get the best out of a given component.
