Cardas vs. Synergistic Research


I'm now comparing a Cardas golden ref.vs.Synergystic Research t1 power cables on my cdp(Sonic Frontiers cd-1).Here's what I came too.The Cardas edges it out in soundstage depth and over all tonal balance with better spacial cues,Maybe a hint more warmth,also the Cardas had a darker background.The Synergistic Research was more upfront and gave me more of an up close and personal view to the soundstage.Almost like being in row 1 verses middle of the hall..The Synergistic slightly compressed the image height but made voices seem more holographic.The synergistic also was faster with a sweeter top end.These are both very good Pc's for the money.Like anything theres trade off's and you have to decide whats important.I like to try the SR t-2 with active sheilding to see If I get more depth back in the soundstage.Has anyone else had any experience with these two pc's

Took the Synergistic t2 over to a friends house to try it on his wadia 850 and did not hear any difference.We did a blind test and I picked the generic cord.I don't listen to his system much at all but you would of thought I would of heard some kind of difference,Nope.In my system, with what I'm very familiar with,the t2 was a MAJOR improvement on Sonic Frontiers cd1 over the stock cord.more detail,better bass and better imaging.. Can anyone explain??
Try the Transparent MM reference PC...it will transform your component. I've also done the side by side comparisons through the Cable Co.'s libary....many of the so called high end PC's are simply trash. FYI Reviewers are worthless, in case you haven't figured that out yet.
Spaz- The active shielding on the T2 only works if you plug the wall wart into both the cable and an electrical power source, so that a blue light comes on. If you didn't do this, you didn't "hear" the cable, and that would explain why you heard "no difference".
