Buying Synergistic Research ICs so difficult

I've put in a request with the cable co for a recommendation so I can audition different SRs in my system. I've done the same with their used cable dept because I want to trade my VDs in towards them. I've filled out the tesla challenge form and I've emailed Ted Denney even.

Other than a few questions about my old VD cables from usedcable.com I've gotten no response from anyone.

I'd just buy the dang things but I don't know which ones will work best with my system within my budget. I don't even know what my budget is given that I haven't received a quote yet.

I know I don't want to go any lower than the AU79 and I probably can't go any higher than accelerators. Do I do full AU79 though? mix with magnetic tricon? do full mag tricon? full accelerator? accelerator mixed with something else? Link to my system should be there next to my username.

I have no idea how any of those compare to my VDs... they are original master series.

*sigh*

Thanks guys!

I called today and Paul from thecableco had already talked with Elliot earlier about my system. Elliot recommended Acoustic Reference at the source and Accelerator to the amp, or a dual run of Accelerator if the Acoustic was out of my price range. He said I could try the mag tricons and they would probably work ok, but my system deserved no less than the accels.

I didn't have time to call the cable co. back so I did send them another email about my VDs, but looks like I'll call them tomorrow and set up auditions from the cable library.

thanks all!

The Cable Company is first rate. Calling them is always the best, quickest way to communicate. E-mail is 'iffy:O) I always call directly if possible, no matter what the company or issue...old school rules!
