Synergistic Research - NEW Element Cables

Hello guys and gals, has anyone tried the NEW Element speaker cables and interconnects with their universal speaker and interconnect cells.

I'm trying to get demo's now from Synergistic or The Cable Company AND as soon as I do; I will have a review up.

Happy New Year!

There is a new review of the Element series cables from Synergistic Research on the StereoTimes website.

They test out the the new Element Power cables and also the Powercell 10 SE Mk.III and other products.

Check it out.

Joeyboynj,
The Stereo Times review is a typical review/ad. The reviewer quotes lengthy passages from the SR site instead of embedding a link. It all adds up to "the new reference" -- until a newer reference comes along to supplant it. All of a sudden, the hyperbole describing the old reference will be forgotten, just like the last time.

I note the reviewer states: "My first experience with a Synergistic Research (herein SR) product was the groundbreaking A/C Master Coupler back in 1995." The ground-breaking Master Coupler was the reference. Its brochure makes it sound like the new Element series.

How black can the background get? How deep and wide can the sound stage get? How much detail can the product reveal? How transparent and dynamic can it be? How much credibility do manufacturers and reviewers have?

I have not tried any new S.R Element power cords myself but HiDiamond has a new flagship Power 4 power cord that will take your system to new levels and for half the price of a S.R Element copper/tungsten, copper/tungsten/silver A or D. Amazingly silent background and air around instruments, clarity and detail, and extremely neutral. Exceptionally well built and thick gauge and fairly flexible. I have never had such a well built cord as I have owned several S.R products. All I can say is for the S.R users to give this power cord a try and compare it. You will be amazed...

To add to Bacardi comments, not having to deal with all the extra wires (and special power devices to power those SR wires) that the SR cables requre is a big advantage for the HD cables.

"The closest I have seen "with unbiased, to-the-point reviews" are Stereo Times reviews"
