Synergy, meaning all cables being the same, is only important if your preamp, source, and amp were all wire with the same wire....and the transformer to some extent. Why have all silver wire and a copper wound transformer...there is a lot of wire in there too. Since this is rarely the case, then the answer is easy to determine. The key is just to avoid cables with high capacitance, over 50pf/foot as a general rule, especially with long runs. The bottom line is use what works, even if it is cheap. Jallen
