I bought the whole line of he New Synergistic research Active cables From $1100 power cords,$650 all active and their New Element Tungston and Copper. It was good But for less money's the New M.I.T Cables for $1000 less for speaker cables, as well as $700 less for interconnects the Synergistic gives a big soundstage and clear but not as much meat on the bones as in reality,or tonal shadings ir low Bass.and all those spaghetti wires you have to plug in Gimmicks! They even sell a better power adapter For an extra $400 something that should come standard ,what is this a Lexus pay for every nickel and dime Also Shunyata ,Kimber make products with all the Umbilical cords attached i had to have 14 outlets and a 4 ft power strip plus the regular one which was insane .all my equipment is all well know audio products And are not to blame Beware of all the Hype ! TAS magazine give out awards for $$$ . It too is pandering and I used to Have no agendas,take a look who has the ads on their and awards to follow.myself and Sevral others heard the differences all can be Equalled or bettered for less monies with not all the mess of wires. Very good salesmanship through advertising !!
Audioman58, the good thing is that you woke up during this life-time. Congrats! welcome to the world of audio where everything is not black & white..... you live & you learn. Also, there is an axiom in English: "a fool & his money are easily parted". Caveat emptor!
Audioman58 thanks for this thread and it's very amuzing that most audiophiles have forgotten the rules of science and gone the way of most cult followings..it seems that the cult of mysticism now rules.
