Then why sell them with anything except that cord. You would think they’d get too many people saying what you did and spreading the word and not even auditioning it. I found a dealer here that has the SX and I will head over there this afternoon and find out. The Galileo cord is an extra 2k, which is less than the difference between it and the atmosphere that it comes with. If he has that cord I’ll ask to hear it with that one also. Etched and shrill are most definitely not what I’m looking for. And I do believe the review I read did use the Galileo cord, so possibly the rep was correct. Though I’ve found what I hear vs reviews are not always the same thing. Just not enough time, or places to audition everything that I’d like to, and I hate feeling like I’m wasting people’s time if I end up not buying. I always go in ready to buy, or I wouldn’t even audition, but the results of what I hear end up dictating whether money leaves pocket or not.
Synergistic Power Cell 12, SX, PS Audio P20
Ive just purchased a P20, but just saw a review on the Power Cell. They tried three different power conditioners. One use magnetics, but forget the brand. It ended up last in every test. The PS Audio came a close second in some tests, and not a distant second in others. 15 years ago when I was hot and heavy into high end equipment, there was much argument over cables, power conditioners, etc. I did try one fairly expensive power cable at the time, and I know I wasn’t doing a true close listen for an improvement, I certainly did not hear the vast improvements that seems should have been obvious from the reviews. Getting back into things again, I figure I’ll revisit this discussion. With the PS Audio I figure I at least get surge protection if nothing else. I did also purchase one of Synergistics top power cable to use with it. Having read the review on their power conditioner, I thought I’d ask if anyone here had experience with this product. If the difference is big, I may step up to their SE or SX model, they claim the SX is noticeably better ( of course they would, lol) and uses much of the technology and in some cases better components then their sold out limited run Galileo ( and good thing that it is, now I won’t be tempted at 22k) also to alessor degre if anyone has experience with their active power block. Not sure I really want to have the birds nest of wiring that would add, and distance factors could be a possible issue with that.
