Synergistic makes some very nice AC cords. Just as in anything else however, their applications are system & component dependent. I have auditioned the full line & presently have 3 DR Sqd's in use on pre, PA, & Master Control Center (that's the active shielding power supply). For awhile I used a Reference AC on a CD player, but then changed players & found that cord didn't do as well as a JPS Digital on the newer machine. However the Ref. AC did better with the other machine, so you never know what's gonna happen until you experiment. The Designer Reference (for source components only) was still good, but not as good as the DR Sq'd. Is the DR Sq'd really $1000 better? Again that depends upon the application; it certainly was for me. As always YMMV.
