Synergistic Research Cables Company Review

Normally I don't waste time on this website venting out about any individual but this is a special circumstance worth noting for any potential reader that may come across an industry person named Ted Denney who owns and operates a company called Synergistic Research. Synergistic Research is an audio company specializing in expensive, exotic cables and audio tweaks based on pseudoscience. I've never heard of him or his company until I went public with my personal COVID-19 infection on how this situation was not only impacting my health but the Audioholics business as well.

After uploading our GoFundMe Youtube Video, Ted Denney made the following comment on our channel.

"So sorry to see you having economic difficulties, would you consider selling me your Star Trek cut outs? I’d love to use them in my product videos. My company Synergistic Research is still operational, still taking orders every day, still shipping product every day, and still 100% fully employed. I think I’m gonna take my Ferrari for a spin after coffee this morning. Let me know on the cut outs. Cheers 🥂"

He then took it a step further by publishing a Youtube video on his personal channel where he was driving around in his Ferrari bragging about how well his business was doing in these tough times while mocking my health condition and the financial status of the Audioholics website. He went a step further by sarcastically offering to buy our Star Trek cardboard cutouts to help pay our bills.

Ted Denney didn't stop there. He went on his personal facebook page and continued to disparage me and the Audioholics website, threatening to report our GoFundMe to the IRS.

"Audioholics Gene make 100% certain you report this income to the IRS and that you only use these funds in a way in keeping with their stated usage. It would be a real shame if the IRS were to get tipped off and launch a subsequent audit and investigation. Just looking out for you buddy and please get back to me on selling those Star Trek cut outs!"

When others on his Facebook page questioned his personal attack against me,  he stated that Audioholics slandered his company back in 2009 and it got "so ugly that the Feds had to shut down the Audioholics website and remove ALL posts related to his company". This of course NEVER happened and after he received a good amount of negative feedback for his callous posts, he took them down along with the Youtube video.

Several of our forum members shared their experiences with Ted Denney on our forum including Senior Administrator Dennis Young at avnirvana.com.

Ted Denney mocked Dennis Young's Asperger's condition on a public forum and continued to harass him. It's my understanding that Ted Denney has been banned by numerous forums and audio related Facebook groups for his despicable behavior. These are just a few examples of the nature and demeanor of Ted Denney and how he conducts business.

It's one thing to have disagreements regarding claims of audio products but it's something much different when an individual goes out of his way to mock a victim suffering from COVID-19 or struggling with a neurological disorder. Synergistic Research claims about being high-end audio may be questionable at best, but the low integrity of the man behind the company is undeniable.

Update: 2/28/21: As you can see in the screenshot below, Ted Denney has been plotting to hurt the Audioholics business and me personally for over a year.

It appears Ted Denney is still at it with the threats and harassment towards the Audioholics community and me personally. A fictitious Facebook account under the alias Don Drapper was used to post disparaging comments on the AH Facebook page where he stated he and at least 10 of his supporters have filled fraud claims against me personally to the IRS over our GoFundMe. In addition, he has gone to various Facebook Groups like Audiophiles on a Budget to brag about reporting my GoFundMe to the IRS. He then deleted his posts and only retained my replies to make himself out to be the victim on his personal Facebook page.  I had to make my personal Facebook account private because he was taking family photos of myself and a cropped image of my 13yo daughter in bathing suits to mock me on his Facebook page to his friends. I also learned today that the numerous daily phone messages using CallerID spoofing I've been getting to the AH Business line either containing dead space for 5 minutes or random sound effects are likely his doing since Ethan Winer of RealTraps has been a recipient of similar behavior from Ted. I posted this in the Audiophile Facebook Group and continuing to monitor how this progresses to determine the next course of action.
