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.

A bit harsh, doncha think? 
This is a quick and easy thing to determine and remedy, if necessary. 
I've already improved the power and signal paths to my satisfaction so tweaks like this are kinda fun to experiment with as it's now much easier to hear differences. 

All the best,

Methods such as this are reasons why so many mediocre audio systems exist. You waste your time and money pursuing such rather than improving the power and signal paths. YMMV

Can you tell me exactly WHICH album he says that on?
I have several and never heard him say that yet!

To get back on topic I just cannot contemplate spending the large on these SR risers when there are very cheap diy methods to achieve same result for comparative pennies.

Now if we are saying it’s really the HFT that makes all the difference then it’s a whole nuther story!

I had these redesigned to fit my 8awg cables. Using some for my power cords also. Did I hear a difference? Didn’t even bother to try to. In theory, they should help insulate from not resting on the floor.
