About synergy?


Many audiophiles believe in using cables and electronics as corrective devices. The other side thinks keep all your equipment with the same sonic flavor, otherwise you will more then likely end up with an audible mess. Some even think it's a given to match your source(cartridge/cd player)with the same sonics of your speakers. I stray slightly to the same sonics camp, but i'm very curious what others have to say about synergy.

Around these parts we use synergy to describe what you have, as all pieces in a system working together for a harmonious fit. Such as a speaker and amp working together (synergy) or that combo working well in a particular room ( synergy) or a cartridge working well with a particular phono stage... Etc...
Once you're aware of such systems, you'll know from then on if something is working synergistically or not. Well, some people seem to catch on!
Not to derail the thread completely.... But I tend to agree with many postings on here, about being uninformed. And just plain crazy.
Hang out with some hobbyists at a shop sometime-- it will floor you what can come out of their mouths...

I've been snippy in my posts sometimes as well--- the absurd ideas just need to be silenced...and by more intelligent folks than I. I don't know why I post sometimes...

For example , a guy, obviously mismatching gear, called the new Rega Brio bright... Which it is far from... Or someone questioned the quality of the new Rega DAC's RCA jacks... They're standard... What does he want? Fancy wbt's on a $995 unit?

Anyway, I love to hear a "synergistic" system, whether it means all the same manufacturer, like an all naim or rega system, or pieced together making informed decisions on what works best together in a room...

From the Greek--- "working together"..

Now split hairs and stroke yourselves all you want.
