Synergistic Research - NEW Element Cables

Audioman58, s.r. cable new element series cables blows away any other brand I've tried. And that includes MIT, Shunyta, Hi Diamond (crap), Tara labs, to name a few. It was most probably that your equipment was not up to snuff or you had something set up wrong. There are Thousands of happy S.R. Customers. Too bad you little isolated insident did not work for you. Provide more details and talk in complete sentences and maybe us S.R. Pros can help you out. Geez. BTW, the Transporter for the active shield blows away the Galileo MPC's and eliminates all the wall worts so there is no more clutter. If you want a reference system from S. R., you should start with one of these and get the CTS cables, PowerCell 10 SE and tranquility base, HFT's, FEQ, XOT and UEF bullets. It cost money and expensive components to own a true Reference System and lots of years of experience.

Audioman58,

I see I am not alone in not being enthralled with SR cables.

I have never heard an SR cable that even came close to David Elrod cables.

Guys,

My loaner XOT's came in a few days ago and I'm not impressed with their performance, lower floor noise and a slight increase in dynamics at the expense of musicality. Instruments appeared to be smaller in scale and didn't have the bloom which mimics a 3 dimensional image between your speakers.

Basically, my speakers lost their overall drive and sound quality on how sound is projected into the room. The XOT's are a no go for me...

Hi Wig, Sorry they did not work out for you. Everyone's system is different. But I have to agree with Lwin on his comments on the XOT's above. In addition in my system the soundstage was liquid, transients just flow like water. Better in resolving detail because they were so quiet. Top to bottom.

Davidpritchard, how did they work out for you in your system? Good or bad? Thanks, Joe

Wig,

This is the same impression I got from the Steinmusic Speaker Match tails. I like their Harmonizers very much but their Speaker Matches were a no-go for me.
