Synergistic Research Comes Down to Earth

You don't need to put the T. Base under everything in order to gain the benefit of the technology. That would be overkill, IMO. I have one under my source and there is a noticeable difference for the better. That is enough for me. At $1995 retail, it is more realistically priced than many other SR products, IMO.

Fplanner2000,
Thanks for this information. I think the question is not that $1995 is more realistically priced than many other SR products because we are not talking about purchasing other SR products here. The question is whether one can obtain better value for the sonic dollar elsewhere. $1995 for one Base is no chickenfeed.

Your mention of "more realistically priced than many other SR products" coincides with my feeling that many SR products are not realistically priced for what they offer sonically -- except for those with very deep pockets.

Even with deep pockets, value is still an important factor. In a tighter economy, all are more careful about where their audio dollars go. Some audio companies recognize this, although others obviously do not.

Fplanner2000,
With the tight economy it is very important for me and others to get the best possible value for our audio dollars. Searching for the best deals on the after market is essential. Finding products that can substitute for more expensive products is very important to me.

For example, I have found that a $300 Bybee AC Purifier on the after market can often equal or exceed the performance of an expensive Synergistic Research power cord that may retail for $1800 to $2800. You have to keep an eye out for Bybee products because they don't come up very often, but they do come up a few times a year. I have accumulated upwards of 20 Bybee products -- all bought on the after market. They are the best bang for my audio dollars that I have ever found.

I have also found that HiDiamond cables will exceed the performance of Synergistic Research cables -- and at a fraction of the cost. These are the kinds of products -- Bybee and HiDiamond -- that I look out for in this economy. I would not have an audio system without them.

I may be swicting from Synergistic Research cables to HiDiamond cables. Synergistic is way too expensive for me and all those upgrades. It starting not to be worth it for me anymore.

Can you guys give me some encourangement in making the leap??? ;-) So many of you email me and say HiDiamond are better then Hologram A and D. I could save so much money selling them here for HiDiamond.

And I may be saying goodbuy to Synergistic Research forever. LOL!
