I drank the synergistic kool-aid.
So my system has all SR cables.. i also have many of their tweaks. Atmosphere Infinity towers, HFT (at least 36 of them), tranquillity pods and bases, plugs, fuses, outlet covers, ground block, the list goes on… but ill say this, with each purchase my dealer hand delivered the product to test. My dealer also advised where to go next. My dealer helped with placement and answering questions. My dealer also had no problem when I didn’t want the product or needed more time to decide.
I may not have an ultra megabucks system, but i have gone and listened to plenty of them and i can say with total confidence that my system blows everything else i have heard away. I know that the secret sauce is the SR stuff. My sound is organic, enveloping, lush, detailed and never fatiguing. The stage is perfect. The realism is sometimes startling. Yes, i have great equipment. Yes i have treated my power, my ethernet, my room, etc.. but i know that my system is where i want it because of my ability to Tailor the sound w my sr gear.
look tons of people have expensive hobbies. If your into cars and you want to squeeze everything out of your engine.. maximum horsepower.. go for it! If you want the engine to purr a certain way, or the exhaust to whistle… who am i to stop you from enjoying your hobby. I hope that @ted_denney earns a new car from the sales of his products, after all.. they give me enjoyment of my hobby and thats all that matters to me in this.
