When you see Synergistic Research in any reviewer or audiophile's system, it's a huge red flag of either the person being tone deaf, on the take from SR, or just gullible beyond belief.
The guy is a total joke and has zero qualifications for anything related to audio. His background is 100% marketing/corp sales. Instead of providing any evidence or details of his engineering qualifications, he hides behind a "30 day money back guarantee" worse than a late night infomercial.
if you fell victim to the placebo effect or his clever staged demos at shows, just look under the hood or crack open any of his phony products. If you have any qualifications to know what you are looking at, it will be clear that his stuff are both ripoffs and hugely overpriced.
Notice also that he visits lots of reviewers so that he can work his staged demo in real-time. Nobody credible in the industry has the free time he has to go to reviewers homes or spend all day in a custom created Facebook group where he continues to fool sycophants.
I don't care how you waste your money, so I'm not interested in arguing what should be obvious to you. You don't even have to take my word for it. Go around the shows and ask other respected mfgs with actual credentials...or find SR products in ANY room other than theirs. In the countless years I've gone to shows, the ONLY room where I've seen SR stuff was Sonore (they used his phony black box) and that company is hardly anything to care about. Otherwise, it's strictly SR owned rooms or his dealers where you will see anyone use his stuff.
If you think his room sounds good, buy a Berkeley Dac, Soulution/McIntosh amps and Magico speakers because that's the only thing making it sound good.
