Knowing that the question is only 10 years old ;-)
" Has anyone compared the Synergy with a Shindo-modified SPU?"
now I can say yes!
The Shindo SPU was of course an A-type and the Synergy a G-type.
(With the ViV Rigid Float it is only a matter of a few seconds to adjust
the right "distance".)
Soundwise and despite of their technical differences these two cartridges have very much in common.
The power, the rythm, the "flow" and auditors involvement were close
to the same. In these aspects the two are in a group of the very best
I have ever heard.
Both are delivering a total relaxed and involving way of hearing music.
The spatiality was very good as well. So for me it would be a matter
of the already present equipment (tonearm and phono stage) which
one to prefer and in the end these are some solid kudos to the Synergy.
So for me the Synergy is a perfect addition to the really outstanding
carts from DS Audio which are unrivaled in dynamics, resolution and
the combination of warmth plus "high-end-parameters".
