Synergistic Research Galileo SX Power cord. (Opinions on sound quality appreciated).


Synergistic Research Galileo SX Power cord.
I know this cord is pricey, but can anyone share opinion or experience on the sound quality with this power cord?
I have owned in the past Synergistic Master Coupler (about 20 years ago) and the Apex.
It would be connected to a Lumin X1 into my Audioquest Niagara power conditioner.

I would appreciate experienced comments. Thank you.

I can’t tell you about that particular power cord, but I can suggest an alternative and provide 2 questions for you to ponder about.

Hospital-grade power cords. Do they sound better? I don’t think so. But they are higher quality than standard power cords.

1. What about audio gear (and other electronics) with inbuilt power cords? You know, power cords that are soldered onto the board and go straight to the power transformer.

2. Power cords that come with the stuff you bought. Is the manufacturer of said product expecting you to upgrade the power cord for better performance?

Once you understand the relationship between AC and DC in electricity, it all starts to make sense. If you’re just looking for higher quality copper as something you want, go for PCOCC copper. Made in Japan is the best.
