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

Ozzy, have you received the cable? And if so, any preliminary thoughts? 

Agreed, power is where it is at....we are after all listening to what is coming out of the wall and er, um, unfortunately, everything that is also  attached to it....ughhhh....

Ozzy, eager to hear your review - I am using an ADD-powr Sorcer now because of you! What a great addition - I am eying the SX and interested in your thoughts on the sound/difference it makes. I have other SR products and find them very helpful, but they are not inexpensive...

Ok, thanks for the update - seems like it took a while to get a demo....oh well...perhaps there is a lot of demand for the cable...

Thanks for the updates - I am trying out a slew of cables right now - no AC cables at this time - it is a process...break in - settling for sure, but also I think it also can take some time to fully "appreciate" (or not) what a cable may or may not be doing...thanks for doing this. 

Ozzy thanks for your doing this - giving feedback along the way is really helpful - this is what makes the hobby fun and audiogon valuable. fwiw I upgraded my SR basic ground to the SE Ground and it made a nice difference (I couldn't tell a whole lot on the Basic -  I may try the new SX ground - will let you know). I am trying the SX powercell with SX cord. When I attach the pigtail from the SX cord to the SE ground, it tightens the stage, enhances focus and transparency, a little more separation. I prefer it, but I wouldn't call it "ground breaking" -HAHA. The tightening of the images may seem to slightly reduce soundstage width, not really sure...but I prefer the little pig tail grounded. I do have other items in my system grounded. But I am using at the moment different speaker cables that don't have the grounding pigtails as they are not SR - I may try SR speaker cables at some point. Interesting side note if you go to the Stealth Cables site and click on technical notes, he posits that the AC power cords' “sound” mostly depend not on the AC carrying wires, but on the ground wire, which NEEDS to be shielded since it's included into the sound SIGNAL PATH (ground path, to be more precise) - that's mostly why different AC power cords sound differently. When you "listen" to a new cable, you are listening in effect to "all" your cables...I think the grounding "scheme" may have more effect than I previously realized....so, that is why I am interested in trying the SR SX ground...perhaps Ted will chime in. 

Ozzy, my experience too - it does shrink the center stage, but it tightens the images...you nailed it...I notice it on the powercell sx that I am demoing. It does the same thing...without the pigtail it acutally kind of sounds like it "opens" up the soundstage (maybe even a little more liquid), but you lose some focus...but with the pigtail, you gain focus but the image and soundstage kind of pulls towards the center....almost a tradeoff, yin-yang kind of thing, but for most listening I prefer the pigtail...interesting...
