SYNERGESTIC RESEARCH - GALILEO SX INTERCONNECT- XLR


hello,

Does someone has an experience with SYNERGiSTIC RESEARCH GALILEO SX INTERCONNECT ?

the price new is around 9500 $.

what would be its "weaknesses"? What do you think about the bullets (gold and silver)?

is the sound natural/neutral?

is it better than stealth indra V10? nordorst valhalla 2 which are less expensive?

an alternative to stealth sakra V12/V16?

I Read some good reviews , but its difficult to find what real people think about it.

Thank you

philippe

hello I’m located in france so i can’t use The Cable Co.

i have:

luxman CD08u

stealh indra V10 xlr

luxman preamp C900u

luxman nordost valhalla 2 xlr

luxman amp M900u (class A)

i like the overall sound, but i would like to have a little bit more body and energy (and possibly more details and openess).

Luxman electronics are maybe a little bit soft.

stealth sakra would probaby be a good choice (more body than indra with the same philosophy ), but i don’t find it on the second hand market.

galileo SX  could be alternative. Reviews are very good but i don’t know what to think about the silver and gold bullets. is the sound neutral/natural? can it be compared to stealth sakra?

Your ICs are great and I am not sure that the SX is going to bring much more of what you are seeking. Top power cables have the effect you are looking for. What power cables are you using?

@zorba2 - If you haven't already maybe ask your question over on WhatsBestForum.com and see if you can get some insights there.

@ facten

Thank you,  i m going to look at WhatsBestForum.com

Concerning the power supply I have a power conditionner GIGAWATT PC-4 EVO + 1 power cord  LS-2 (between the PC and the wall socket), and 3 LS-1 for the electronics.  Gigawatt is a Polish manufacturer, maybe not very known in the USA.

maybe i will replace LS-1 by LS-2 but they are also expensive...

Yes. Check the other forum as well. 

In my opinion the power cables have more impact on sound than interconnects. Gigawatt is not known in the US but their conditioner seems very good. I bet that cables like Shunyata Omega or Synergistic Research SRX or Nordost Odin 2 or the expensive offering from Ansuz  or my moneoone Supernova will be much  better than LS-2 from wall to your conditioner. It will likely be a cheaper upgrade with more impact than the IC.
