JPS Aluminata or Synergistic Research's Tesla Prec

Hey everyone
Dont have the luxury to demo cables.. also a complete noob !

I currently have the Aluminata IC , PC !

Till recently been reading how amazing the latest Tesla SC are on some of the forums or maybe I'm reading things wrong , I cant be too sure..
I have the Speaker Cables remaining and am about a day or two away from purchasing the Aluminata SC , as I've reached a deal with a member !

What do I do , have you heard both the cables , how would they compare , how far ahead are the latest SR Tesla and would you recommend not to go for the Aluminata SC in your experience ?

Just asking , way confused.. which ever cables grant me an immersing experience !

I've been told the Aluminata's really shine when in set , unlike other cables in some cases..

Excuse the blurriness in my question , your experience would be extremely helpful !!

Based on what I gather from your experiences and comments above, you might want to try a slightly mellow or warm sounding speaker cable---something that just might help provide a touch of "romance" to your overall sound by giving you a little more texture or spaciousness through that lower midrange/upper bass region. If you can find a dealer there in England who might be able to let you audition the Cardas Golden Reference, I think it could be worth your while to try it with what you have. You might just like what it provides. If not, you've lost nothing. Again, best of luck.

I have owned both Aluminata and Synergistic cables, though not the SR Tesla, but the Accelerator. My guess, and I emphasize GUESS, is you would have a better chance of achieving synergy by going with all Aluminata instead of inserting the SR Tesla at the end of the chain. If I had a concern, it would be the possibility of having "too much of a good thing" with every cable in the system being the same brand, though numerous audiophiles do claim that is the best way to go. Personally, I don't attest to any absolutes regarding the latter approach or the "mix and match" approach. Since, as you say, you "don't have the luxury to demo cables", your're left with having to take your chances with purchasing. Neither my suggestion nor anyone else's comes with a guarantee of satisfaction. Best of luck though.
