Looking for a great value integrated
Sufentanil,I agree that a speaker upgrade looks to be a logical move here. I went from the Totem Rainmakers to Merlin and never looked back. The Merlins are in a different league entirely. You can pick them up at a very reasonable price on the aft... 
Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments?
Hifinut604,I think one further valid point is that the newest version of the PowerCell and the Element series are described as being a dramatic improvement over earlier comparative products in the SR line. This is one more reason why people may fe...

Jwpstayman,You are correct. The Tesla Challenge is simply an offer to audition cables and compare them with what you have in your system. It is not a discount program.Hifinut604,I agree with you completely. Your statement hit the nail on the head:... 
Do you believe in Magic?
I thank Audiogon for allowing my last post. Although I agree with Ted Denney of Synergistic Research that it is best just to ignore insulters I think there comes a time when being frank when faced with this kind of situation -- while remaining pol... 
How much can be measured -- and how much cannot?
Regarding the example in the introduction regarding John Atkinson's measurements of the Playback designs MPS-5, I would have been interested in hearing a discussion between the reviewer and John Atkinson as they listened to the PD together after t... 
How much can be measured -- and how much cannot?
This is like Rashomon. It is amazing how many differing points of view there are on this subject. Each one seems to be a valid part of this complex puzzle. IMO. The question remains, which aspect is the predominating factor -- or is this a matter ... 
Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments?
Glory,Your point is noted. And appropriate, IMO. Through all of this, having spent a very substantial amount of money on SR products, and watching the pace of bringing new products to market, and watching how SR responds to what we are saying here...

Hifinut604,Thank you for clarifying this. You are right when you differentiate between the really high end and the mid end. But for me, the mid end is also becoming out of reach the way things are going with fast-paced marketing. So it comes down ... 
Do you believe in Magic?
Frankly, I do not understand the preference given to insults on Audiogon. While replies to insults are often flagged as provocative the insults themselves are not. I believe if Audiogon allows Audiofeil to insult posters then it should also allow ...

Ted, I note the statement in your posting:"... we make our products readily available through the no risk Synergistic Research Challenge. This seems more then [sic] fair."However, you refer to the Synergistic Research Challenge on your site as a "...

Hifinut604,Are you as disappointed as I am in Ted's comments or do they satisfy you? 
Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments?
Hifinut604, I would respectfully like to make a addendum to the information on Synergistic Research's site where they state:"The new PowerCell 10SE Mk III is the 2nd revision to the PowerCell in five years ..."Actually, the first version was the P...

Hifinut604,As audio companies become bigger customer loyalty sometimes becomes less important for them. When they do not think that reciprocating customer loyalty is important anymore things change. Customers vote with their feet. A lot of SR's cu...

Flashunlock, Pursuant to my earlier posting in reply to your comments, how much are we willing to sacrifice in search of the elusive Ultimate Sound Stage? You know the soundstage I am referring to. The one no one has but that is tantalizingly dang... 
Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments?
Flashunlock,The pace of new products coming online is often astonishing. SR's Element series is their latest and I have a feeling they are game-changers. But just watch. Within 12 months there will be Element MK I. Then Element MK II will come alo...
