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.

No worries. In today’s highly polarized political environment, hard to take anything as a joke. Unfortunate.

Anyways, I think it’s a matter of time until your second Galileo SX power cord. Inevitable. 😉😂🤭
Dear Georgie: what Synergistic Research power cords did you try, and what did you compare them with? Very intriguing post. Thanks 
You should definitely have the ground plug connected. That’s the whole point of SR stuff.

The “bullet” stuff is just a gimmick IMO. They never did anything for me. Perhaps I am deaf, but that’s my honest experience 
It’s a pattern. Just joined Audiogon, zero feedback, dozens of posts in Forums per day, all snake oil screeching. Typical. Clearly coming here for the sole purpose of spreading their venom and toxicity in the AG forums, like they do in every single audio forum in Internets, and FB audio groups. Idiots 
I hear all kind of dumbassshit from cable deniers and snake oil screechers who typically never try any power cords because likely their Salvation Army branded “gear” comes with a captive power cord, but this analogy surpasses all of them

Holy crap! I hope the new cable is worth that hassle.

I had a similar issue with something I bought last week. UPS delivered it to another house in the neighborhood. Fortunately the resident of that house was nice, and brought it to me. Two days later. While I kept dealing on the phone with clueless UPS reps
@ozzy 

I don’t know what your “amps” are, but given the simplicity of your system, and the number of power cords needed, it only makes sense to switch to Galileo SX for your amps. That’s what I would do. Cheers
I wonder how you can afford those cables and yet, at the same time, hope on stimulus checks. Logically one that buys a $6,000 power cord should in theory be in a tax bracket that disqualifies them for stimulus checks. Just in theory.

Not trying to start a class warfare here, just a simple logic.
Please let us know your impressions when you switch the power cords to your Amps to Galileo SX HC. Thanks 
Galileo SX power cord is $6,000 MSRP for standard 5 feet length. Such length is plenty for most applications and setups
