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.

Ted is a sales guy and a good marketer. Fun talking to him at shows. He is very passionate about stuff he knows nothing about. After all these years maybe he even drinks his own koolaid, though I expect that since he will never put his money where his mouth is, perhaps he knows it is a house of cards.


I glad you enjoy your system, but those speakers are so far from state of the art by today's standards that any tweak is just going to be duct tape. Seriously, if you are as passionate about music as you claim, they need to go. It will take and adjustment period and some acoustic tweaking but those speakers are a serious limitation in what can be achieved.

I'll be the first to say proudly that Ted Denney is a salesman ... and a damned good one at that. He's also a promoter ... and good at that too. He's a manufacturer in a very competitive business ... and he excels at that as well. 

Starting out living in his small factory because he couldn't afford rent on the business and an apartment at the same time, Ted has brought, what was once a little start-up company, into an international success. All of this while his detractors stand around with their fingers up their noses, wondering what the hell happened. 

I don't have much of Ted's products in my system, just the Level III power cords, a ten-pack of HFT's to help treat the room, and a full complement of SR's new Orange fuses. I've reviewed all of these products on this site.

Synergistic Research products have been very helpful in allowing me to attain a level of sound in my system that can only be described as spectacular. And this with speakers that were built to a price point. Speakers, that can be purchased today on the used market for under $2000.00 per pair. 

I find it interesting how salespeople are disparaged, not only here on this site, but in society in general. Interesting, because nothing moves in this country without a salesperson on the front end of each transaction.  

Think about it ... every semi-tractor/trailer you see traveling down the highways of this country, carrying goods to the marketplace, every item in the retail stores, every automobile you see on the road, had a salesperson at the front end of the transaction, even before the pen hit the contract of sale.

The plastic, copper, gold, and circuitry in our smartphones, the aluminum, steel, plastic, and leather in our cars, had a salesperson at the front of those transactions too.

The lumber, the nails, the roofing material, the drywall, and the siding in our homes all needed to be "sold" before it came to the marketplace and eventually went into building the homes.

The concrete, steel and all of the material that went into building our roads and bridges had a salesperson upfront even before construction began. Same for the heavy equipment used to build those roads and bridges. Someone sold that equipment, and someone sold the tires, axels, pistons, and valves that allow that equipment to move.

I've often said in my 50-year sales career that any recession could be ended if every salesperson in the country would just take the time to knock on just one more door every day.

The indisputable fact is, that without salespeople, there wouldn't be an economy, period.

Ted Denney a comedian? Hardly. In the true sense of the American tradition, Ted Denney is a hero.

Get over it,

Now do engineers and qualified product designers.


In the true sense of P.T. Barnum ...perhaps a hero.
