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.

Also their products are grossly inflated in price I felt...

And, SR gives a 30-day trial on all of their products. Therefore, if they don't work out for you in your situation, you get a full refund with no questions asked. You only pay for the return shipping. What a scam, right?

Regarding the SR cable risers at 4 for $400, I hope you have two foot cables to each speaker or your gonna need at least a couple of packs of them.

Have been using SR cable risers for a while now. Quite happy with them, although correct positioning is PIA. And this is the only complaint I can come up with. The effect is similar to that one of Orange fuses and ECTs.
However, in my friend's system they worked slightly different - substantially widened the soundstage but because of that he got a hole in the middle. Took him a couple of days to fix that. Said he had to change a few cables ( he has over a hundred of spare ones  and is the most knowledgeable person I have ever met ).
Anyway,  looks like it's a valuable tool which may require certain skills to be used.  But it definitely works. Those who already know what ECTs, HFTs and Orange fuses are should give it a try. Chances are you won't be disappointed.
