Why don't gold based cable fans try Synergistic

I LOVE the SR Tesla active range and have no issue with Active cables- uncompromised natualness, air, and sound stageing. I started with Accelerators but landed on Apex and Precision Reference. That said SR has a gold based intercnnect- AU79. You can also try Magnetic TrIcon or mix and match. Neither are Active.

I'd like to know what you and others think as I am going to cable my office system soon.

John,
You can add the Synergistic Research Au79 to your list of gold IC's.

Frankk,
The SR Au79 are non-active and not too expensive. I am thinking of auditioning them in my office system.

Cheers

Frankk,
SR makes a warm ballance IC and SC. It's called Acoustic Reference. You could have thrown in a pair of Acoustic SC's with your Accelerators and whaala, instant warmth WITH a holographic sound stage.

As I said, the Synergistic Tesla Series allows for great flexibility by design.

Frankk,
No cable in my experience has the sound stage of Active SR cables. All other cables compress the imaging in my experience. I would have stuck with the Accelerators and added one of thier T3 power cords to warm up my system- that's how the Tesla system works. Depending on what you are looking for SR has a combo of Tesla cables that will deliver. Theirs is a system approach to cable / system matching with different cables and power cords to create a desired outcome.

At this point and given the fact you've taken a hit when you sold your Accelerators, and given your budget, why don't you try a used pair of SR Designers Reference X2 interconnects. They are on the warm/bass heavy side and they're Active so they are holographic. Just a thought.

Sorry Bullot but I have a system in a VERY DRY place (vacation home in Palm Springs Ca.) where the humidity drops into the low teens all the time. I have all SR Active Cables there and I have never noticed any increase in static electricity or any problem with the Active Shielding "charging my home with electricity". My neighbor also has SR Active cables (I turned him on to them) and he has no problems that I am aware of.

From what I understand regarding Active Shielding it is a 30 volt DC charge applied to the shield of a cable and is totally outside the signal path. Actually there is far more DC in the average active component (CD players, pre-amps, amps, etc.) then is found on the shield of Active SR cables.

I am not doubting you believe what you are posting but I cannot understand your claim nor have I been able to find anything regarding what you describe on any audio forum (aside from what you have posted here). After ten years of Acive cables from SR it will be interesting to see if all of a sudden a few reports like this surface. Out of curiosity who was the dealer that corroborated your theory? Also please describe in detail what exactly you mean by "charged your room with electricity" from a 30 volt bias?! This all sounds a little off to me- sorry.
