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.

Taken from Elliott’s sound products page:

"I refuse to prove that I exist," says God, "for proof denies faith, and without faith, I am nothing."

From ’The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy’, Douglas Adams

The above could just as easily be re-phrased - for example ...

"I refuse to prove that my cables/risers/fuses will make your system sound better", says the snake oil vendor, "for proof denies faith, and without faith, you will hear nothing."


One good reason you might want to follow the lead of a growing segment of the community and start following my posts.

There was carrots in that.....
I’ve always thought that it has something to do with the dielectric effect.
Earlier today, I came across this tidbit: https://www.monoandstereo.com/2020/02/the-effect-of-plastic-wound-capacitor.html#more

Clicking on the photos enlarges them for easier viewing.

It’s minor, but measurable (which many here demand to see), so if it alters the value of a capacitor (and therefore, the sound, albeit slightly), why doesn’t it pertain to cables as well?

All the best,

I was shocked at the difference obtained when I raised my speaker wire off the floor.  I completely expected NOT to hear any difference and that's what caught me most off-guard.  With this said, I don't think you need to use an expensive SR product to do this.  I ended up cutting into sections the thin, inner wooden cradles in a couple of empty Bordeaux wine cases to prop my cables up - essentially free after the wine is consumed.  I'm not a SR hater at all and in fact use their fuses and HFTs in my setup/room with much success.
