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.

Why don't gold based cable fans try Synergistic

Because we are happy with gold. I have tried many, many cables, far to many to start naming names in the last 20 years or so. I even heard some SR cables years ago when they first came out, and was unimpressed. I realize that SR has become much more popular with the Tesla Series, but I discovered gold based conductors 2-3 years ago, and have no interest in playing the cable game anymore.

Frank, Silkworms are selling at a good discount because the Silkworm + is now out from KCI.

Jim, here are just a few manufacturers who have some form of gold in the conductors. The difference in price has a lot to do with how much gold is in the cable. (In no particular order).

KCI
Antipodes
Jade
Gabriel Gold
Bogdan
Black Mountain
Analysis Plus
Siltech
Audio Metallurgy
Jungson
Grant Fidelity
Stealth

These are all that I can think of at this time. Remember, just because a cable says Gold or Golden on it, does not mean it uses gold in the conductors (eg: Tara Labs Zero Gold and Wireworld Gold Eclipse 6 have no gold in the conductors).
