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.

No matter what the naysayers say, remember that link I provided on the previous page. If an incredibly thin piece of plastic wrap can throw off the performance of a capacitor, imagine what laying a cable on a carpet made entirely of synthetic crap can do.

All the best,

Does anyone make cable "lower-ers"?  I think I'll dig a trench in my listening room and bury the puppies.

That’s a wank too, as it’s not ac music signal they're showing the effect on, but minuscule mF capacitance the test gear leads (which they conveniently don’t show) are in different positions, and could even be cross over for some shots, this is more the reason.
Take any capacitance meter and it will show those minuscule mF or uF differences when measuring the same cap twice with the leads moved around.

Nice George.
Although pretty sure not that many of the USA guys get that as it is Brit speak.
Good to see the colonies keeping up with the Joneses!

So point out something that could be indicative of effect and shoot it all down with, woulda, coulda, and shoulda as to why it's all wank.
Nothing definitive either, but speculation.

I guess that makes sense if you're upside down in your perspective.

All the best,
