About synergy?


Many audiophiles believe in using cables and electronics as corrective devices. The other side thinks keep all your equipment with the same sonic flavor, otherwise you will more then likely end up with an audible mess. Some even think it's a given to match your source(cartridge/cd player)with the same sonics of your speakers. I stray slightly to the same sonics camp, but i'm very curious what others have to say about synergy.

Yeah, I am the one who thinks that cartridge should be matched to speakers in addition to tonearm and phono stage. But it is a different kind of match, perhaps even more complex and subjective. And it doesn't mean necessarily that basic sound signature of the cartridge and of the speakers should be very similar. Depends very much on preference and music taste.
I generally agree that the best synergy can be achieved by mixing different brands though I try to stay with the same cable brand with the exception of power cords.
