Synergistic Research - NEW Element Cables

First SR created all those extra wires that drives people up the wall trying to find a way to keep them all plugged in and keep them all organized -- and clean. Do you realize how many wires are going all over the place with a fully loomed SR system with each wire and component attached to at least one adapter (MPC)? No wonder why you never see a Virtual System with an SR loom. Do you have any idea what a gawd-awful mess that would look like? Did you notice that you see pretty back-lit photos of each wire on the SR site but they never show you a photo of what this wiring mess looks like in a real fully-loomed SR system? OK, then they invented an expensive box to plug all the MPC wires into -- which means the resale value of your expensive adapters (MPCs) just went to zero. But you can up-trade if you are willing to lose nearly all the value of your older equipment while spending twice as much on your next SR purchase as you spent on your last SR purchase. A bargoon.

Ted_d,
The breath of fresh air does not always apply with all Stereo Times reviews and it certainly does not apply here -- despite your implication that my quote is a blanket endorsement, which it is not. I like Clement Perry's reviews. This review was not a Clement Perry review.

Photos of the inside of Jack Bybee's Stealth power conditioner are available for viewing but I have not seen any photos of the inside of your PowerCell. I have heard that one customer opened up the PowerCell and was shocked with the contents. Would you kindly post photos of the inside of all your versions of the PowerCell so we can see what is inside so that we can compare them? It would be useful to have more than manufacturers' ad copy and reviewers' kind words with which to judge these expensive products.

I can demo synergistic cables for free but no such option from
many other cable companies so if you will not put your money where your mouth is than ......

Do you buy it for the SOUND or admire the contents on your mantle? More pointless BLAH BLAH BLAH ... !!!

Blah,
We are talking about build quality here. Have you ever heard of build quality before? This may have been mentioned once or twice on the forums although it may have eluded you. But if you did read these posts, did you add your blahhhhs to them, as well? If not, there is opportunity in THEM THAR HILLS !!!

You may want to read a recent post about the Nordost Qx4 that was cracked open to reveal ... precious little inside -- an overprices milled steel marvel. From the report I heard about the SR PowerCell being cracked open to reveal ... precious little inside -- an overpriced black box marvel. Inquiring minds may want to know when highly esteemed companies are indulging in such practices -- charging outrageous prices for parts that cost a pittance. Sophisticated design and marketing. If you do not have an inquiring mind you can just ignore all this. NO PROBLEM !!!
