Synergistic Research Comes Down to Earth

@joeyboynj. Don't turn your head on HiDiamond just yet. You do know that HD has had the same line for 10-12 years now and just might come out with something new that, other than the Power3 at its price point may just eat the whole new S.R line altogether. S.R has changed the line of cords 3 times in the last 3+ years. To me thats crazy. Have they got it correct yet? - LOL, don't know. But when HD at say 90% correct, definitely will get it to 100% this next round and at a fraction of S.R's prices. You'll know when that happens.......

@Sabai, your comment makes 100% sense. I will later take everything out of the Powercell and reconnect the cords to a power strip and see how that sounds...

My outcome on the disconnection of my Powercell 10 SE proved that it did restrict dynamics,detail and even volume for sacrifice of a little deeper and wider soundstage. otherwise, I will give it more time to settle and give a final conclusion.
This change showed me just how the HiDiamond cords do just by-themselves creating a phenomenal sound with no gimmicks, tricks, enhancements. just straight- up HIDIAMOND........simple...

@Knghifi, would you say that is true about S.R Powercells. They are actively shielded too?

@Joeyboynj, I am not trashing S.R at all , I am just finding out how the HD sounds without the S.R. powercell and it was restricting dynamics and a real openness to the sound with a slight compromise of soundstage. That is all . My system sounds amazing without it. Please don't put words in my mouth. Thx.

I have done a comparison with the S.R element copper tungsten to the Hidiamond P3 and found the P3 to compete very well against a cord 3x it's price. For a power cord of its price-point the P3 is a very good power cord.

But, I also did a comparison with a S.R Element(D) Copper Tungsten Silver power cord at twice the price of a P4 and found the HD power 4 at initial plug-in to be the clear winner. I find the S.R's to be liquid, analytical, forward sounding as most of their line to be. Very good pin-point imaging and soundstaging for both cords. But it was for the HD's P4 I found the natural flow of all instruments and voicing across the whole frequency range to be a fully engaging experience. Everything is where it should be the way we all want to hear music and or movies(what we see on the screen).

The P4 does everything extremely well with a naturalness that no other power cord can do and at a very comfortable pricepoint. It totally dissappers in your system. Enough said.

I would suggest anyone looking at the new S.R Element series power cords to definitely try a HiDiamond P3 and or P4. You will see and decide for yourself the positive differences and natural/lifelike qualities the HD lets through your music/movies. You will just forget about your cords and speakers and just close your eyes and listen with a smile.
