synergistic research's element copper

There is no trick in using the cable with its accessories. If you like it, then its good, you owe no one else any apology for not liking what they do or following anyone else's audio philosophy either.

"My concern is that this will turn out to be more snake oil and is actually tricking my mind into thinking it’s better. I wish I could find some more folks who have tried them."

If you can't decide as to weather or not you like the cables, I would wait. It seems like something is holding you back that you can't quite put your finger on. Personally, I find that cables that really do a lot to the sound usually don't hold up over time. Something good is usually happening at the expense of something else.

"I like the black bullets on jazz or very well recorded rock they make it sound bigger the stereo sound stage just envelopes the room. However a more edgy sounding distorted guitar sounds worse. For that the silver is better."

That's kind of what I'm talking about. It sounds like making the stage bigger may come at the expense of clarity. Or maybe a phase issue. I would keep the cables as long as your dealer lets you and if you are not sure, hold off. If you are using Cable Co, call them and see what they say. They are very honest and won't try to push something on you if you don't feel its the right thing.

"My concern is that this will turn out to be more snake oil and is actually tricking my mind into thinking it’s better. I wish I could find some more folks who have tried them."

What other people say is really not relevant. No one is more qualified than you are in this situation.

The synergistic research element copper interconnect cable has received excellent reviews by Ultra Audio (ultraaudio.co)
and "The Absolute sound" where it is product of the year.

I believe this cable was designed for general use with the grey bullets.

Well I'm happy with them. I could not find any articles from either of those publications. I’m sure they are there Thanks

There are many many reviews of these cables and other cables from Synergistic Research. Go to the S.R. Website and you can find links to dozen of reputable review websites. Also, a google search found me at least a dozen VERY positive reputable reviews.

I own these cables and they are the real deal. I have auditioned dozens other cables from The Cable Company and Synergistic Research were the very best in my system. Their technology is the real deal.

Have fun and always believe your ears!!! You have to experiment and see for yourself before you buy anything.
