Synergistic Research Cable Risers?


  Recenty Synergistic  research  brought out some cable risers.  https://www.synergisticresearch.com/accessories/cable-risers/

  The audio press said they made one of the biggest differences when taken out of the system, then re installed back in. Does anyone have first hand experience with these ?

  That being said, they seem like quite a bit of money for what you get, however if they  work at improving the sound it would be worth it. I do use Synergistic products  which have made a definite improvement in sound but am quite skeptical on this product.

Prof,

I think you are taking the wrong approach to this topic. You appear to be approaching it from a standpoint of logic and physics. So what that every claimed reason for working including static electricity, dielectric/capacitive effects or vibration could be easily tested to be real or not .... you know that 1) vendors never will because they won't be able to show a difference, 2) the people that advocate for them will not test for the effects as they are unable and 3) the people that do test for the effects and show they are not there will be insulted with any number of ad-homs.

Just consider what it is ... Ted is the comedian extraordinaire of the industry, the "press" in the room are his faithful audience, and you and me, wolfgarcia, etc. just don't seem to get the joke.
Ted is a sales guy and a good marketer. Fun talking to him at shows. He is very passionate about stuff he knows nothing about. After all these years maybe he even drinks his own koolaid, though I expect that since he will never put his money where his mouth is, perhaps he knows it is a house of cards.


I glad you enjoy your system, but those speakers are so far from state of the art by today's standards that any tweak is just going to be duct tape. Seriously, if you are as passionate about music as you claim, they need to go. It will take and adjustment period and some acoustic tweaking but those speakers are a serious limitation in what can be achieved.
I looked at your posts geoffkait and your OCD requirement to post on almost every thread no matter how inane your comment. > 20,000 posts? Really?  I hope you are getting vitamin D supplements.


I would say you captured the know-it-all crown about 15,000 posts ago and it will never be disputed.

Cheers
