Synergistic Research Cable Risers?

  Recenty Synergistic  research  brought out some cable risers.  https://www.synergisticresearch.com/accessories/cable-risers/

  The audio press said they made one of the biggest differences when taken out of the system, then re installed back in. Does anyone have first hand experience with these ?

  That being said, they seem like quite a bit of money for what you get, however if they  work at improving the sound it would be worth it. I do use Synergistic products  which have made a definite improvement in sound but am quite skeptical on this product.

If an incredibly thin piece of plastic wrap can throw off the performance of a capacitor
That’s a wank too, as it’s not ac music signal they're showing the effect on, but minuscule mF capacitance the test gear leads (which they conveniently don’t show) are in different positions, and could even be cross over for some shots, this is more the reason.
Take any capacitance meter and it will show those minuscule mF or uF differences when measuring the same cap twice with the leads moved around.

Nice George.
Although pretty sure not that many of the USA guys get that as it is Brit speak.
Good to see the colonies keeping up with the Joneses!

So point out something that could be indicative of effect and shoot it all down with, woulda, coulda, and shoulda as to why it's all wank.
Nothing definitive either, but speculation.

I guess that makes sense if you're upside down in your perspective.

All the best,

@nonoise yep carpets! And I can tell you wool is about as bad... carpet that is. the sheep dog makes fine portable absorption!

like I said 1980’s we discovered the floor was killing sound....

I know GK will remember Enid....

I suspect I’m one of the very few people who built Enid’s cable tunnels which, by the way, are designed to reduce both static electric fields and vibration as the cables are suspended inside the tunnel by thread from eye hooks on the roof of the tunnel.
More to discover
