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.

Vandermeulen, Good luck, I have said all I wanted to say.
I am sure your system sounds good.
Enjoy.
Vandermeulen, You did not list your system. Please do so.

It sounds to me that you have way too many cables for a simple high quality high end system. I dont see how you could tell anything!
Remember, cables can only subtract from your components potential. Keep it simple.

I have found that as my system components improved, the differences in cables and other changes become more obvious.
Vandermeulen, Farting fleas is not the quality sound you should be trying to obtain.

Sorry, I don’t recognize most of your Components so I can’t comment on there sound quality. Besides, if it sounds good to you that's all that matters.

But, when you make such general statements about cables it shows you either have not progressed in the search for higher sound quality or you have accepted a lower level of quality for whatever the reason.

I too know cables. I have had many, many complete systems of cables. Please read some of my past postings to see just how many. I even owned an AudioDharma Cable Cooker.

I have come to the conclusion that cables can make or break a system. Those cables should be as high of quality as the components that they are attached to. I wasnt kidding when I stated that cables can only subtract from the components sound quality. The best match does the less harm. It is some trial and error to find that "right" cable, but, you can obtain help from fellow Audiogonners to narrow the search.

If you stick with this you should be able to tell the differences in cables. (if your system is up to the task).
Rilbr , On my Oppo BP83 SE , I am using Electraglide Silver interconnects on the the 5.1 Analog outputs and the Oppo 83SE sounds awesome.
All silver cables are not equal. Some have a much higher grade silver and have been treated in other ways.
