Synergistic Research - NEW Element Cables

In my world it is always noted when a maker intentionally overbuilds to hide precious little inside -- and who then overcharges for the great "build quality" illusion.

Then don't buy it! Is somebody in your world twisting your arm? Boy, glad I don't live in a 3rd world country.

I find it interesting that you do a Google search and find photos of the inside of the Bybee Stealth but you will never find a single photo of the inside of the Qx4 or the PowerCell.

Who cares what's inside if it doesn't sound good. Do you know why you're buying the product?

IE: If Rum wants to power his toaster, he can buy a copper PC off Ebay for $5. Now why does he spend $750 for a HiDiamond copper P3 and $2100 for a copper P4 PC? If the answer is NOT for the sound, then he's wasting his $$.

I bet cost of raw material to build the one off Ebay is close to the P3 and P4 but HD is able to manufacturer a PC that sounds better. You can't judge the book by it's cover but in this case, it's the precious little insides when quality of sound should be the most important reason for a purchase.

For those with deep pockets this may add up to nothing more than a big yawn. Because, if the latest version of the PowerCell does not meet expectations, or if the Qx4 does not match the Pro, then who cares. They can be sold off at a loss -- who cares -- and replaced by another expensive product. Who cares.

Hmmm! I THINK the root of your frustrations / BLAH BLAH BLAH is your SHALLOW pockets???

After a few months with the upgraded CTS Analogue and CTS Digital power cords, I highly recommend that anyone with Tesla line Power Cables or anyone looking for something new to check out the new Synergistic Research Element Power Cables for a free in home audition. I also upgraded to the Powercell 10 SE Mk. III with tranquility base built in and new Element Copper/Tungsten Power Cord that has a 32-amp connecter. This power conditioner outperforms the previous Mk.II by a large margin. I agree with the Stereo Times review that I posted a link to above about the new Mk.III version. In addition, Synergistic Research won 2012 product of the year awards from The Absolute Sound, 2010, 2011 and 2012 Best of Show Awards and many many other positive reviews on review websites (E.g. 6moons, UltraAudio.com, Stereo Times, AudioStream.com)

I would like to hear from others that have tried or own the new Transporter that acts as a center to connect all the active shields into one spot, also how are the Tranquility Bases being used and their effects, plus anyone using the new Element and Galileo Power Cords, Element speaker and interconnect cables and any of the new digital cables. Synergistic also has a DAC called The Music Cable. Has anyone tried these products and post their reviews here.

Thanks!

Does anyone have any new information or experiences with the NEW Element Series??..

Anyway, I'm upgrading my Tesla SE REL SPEC Reference Subwoofer cable to the new Element CTS Rel Spec Reference Subwoofer cable in the next few weeks and I will have a full review here.

Talk soon. Thanks. Joe

Joeyboynj, I am really looking forward to your Element Series CTS sub cable upgrade. Please be sure to compare it to your older Tesla cable. Could you also comment if the difference between the two cables can be heard even at moderately low volumes. Thanks!

Gelaw, Its finally on order. I will have the new cable in 2 weeks.
