synergistic research's element copper


Has anyone else tried this interconnect? This is one of the cables I have on load and it has made a good impression on me. I have some concerns. I can not find out very much on the internet, no reviews. I searched the forum and as far as I can tell I’m the only member posting about them.

These as with several of their more expensive cables us an “Active Shielding” you have to plug a wall wart into it. It also has 3 tuning bullets, silver, grey, and black. What I’ve discovered is different music sounds better with different bullets. 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.

I have had many of my needle drops that had some distortion and with these cables depending on which bullets are being used sound much better. 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.

Have you tried Elrod Statement Gold power cords?
No, not Statement Gold. I had a full loom of Statement Is and IIs ... series before Gold. It's a very good cable but not worth the $$ or hassle in using them due to their size and weight.

Ribbon cable excels in 3D but lacks weight and impact compare to wire.
Joecasey,

You may have changed your mind if you had listened to the Statement Gold in your system. I agree, they are very unwieldy. But If you can position them safely in your system the sonic rewards are worth the effort. In my system they do not lack weight and impact in any way.

Glad they work for you ... I have friends that are familiar with Statement Gold and I have no plans to try them.
