Synergistic Research Cable Risers?
Recenty Synergistic research brought out some cable risers. https://www.synergisticresearch.com/accessories/cable-risers/
The audio press said they made one of the biggest differences when taken out of the system, then re installed back in. Does anyone have first hand experience with these ?
That being said, they seem like quite a bit of money for what you get, however if they work at improving the sound it would be worth it. I do use Synergistic products which have made a definite improvement in sound but am quite skeptical on this product.

Regarding the SR cable risers at 4 for $400, I hope you have two foot cables to each speaker or your gonna need at least a couple of packs of them.Yep, another ripoff aimed at the gullible, if you REALLY!!! believe it makes a difference, you can get 100 of them for $20!!!! At least this rubbish is in the correct forum. https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/353393544686?chn=ps&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=705-139619-5960-... Or take your pick https://www.ebay.com.au/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2334524.m570.l1313&_nkw=Plastic+Pizza+...+ Cheers George |
It’s hard to imagine that a little piece of metal the size of a small button can do what they do. Like I said I’m a big skeptic but I bought them and glad I did. Goose! sorry mate, but you are a goose https://www.google.com/search?q=you%27re+a+goose+meaning&oq=your+a+goose&aqs=chrome.2.69i57j0l7.4559j0j8&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8 Cheers George🤦♂️ |
If an incredibly thin piece of plastic wrap can throw off the performance of a capacitorThat’s a wank too, as it’s not ac music signal they're showing the effect on, but minuscule mF capacitance the test gear leads (which they conveniently don’t show) are in different positions, and could even be cross over for some shots, this is more the reason. Take any capacitance meter and it will show those minuscule mF or uF differences when measuring the same cap twice with the leads moved around. |
Here are the specs on them from the manufacturer, clearly stated so there’s no come back liability. (nothing about any improvements to the sound) "Treated aluminum cable supports incorporating custom designed HFTs and other Synergistic Research UEF technology. You’ll need two sets thats $800!!!! Just use tennis balls cut in half they sound better. Cheers George |
Bingo!Yeah that’s you, can’t see the forest for the trees. This may as well be a fuser thread as it’s the same 1/2 dozen voodooist’s every time. And attention those who purchase them, don’t forget the cable risers have to be around the right way, logo towards the speakers, and at least 100hrs break in time is needed before you can hear the difference. |
Whenever I denigrate snake oil manufacturers and or their shills. If it they thought it didn’t apply to themselves, then there’d be no reason to get testy and retaliate personally. So what does that tell you about the ones that do????????? (and it's always the same 1/2 dozen that do) Hey Georgie ... have you complained to the Mods yet today?Don’t have to, I’m sure their watching this closely, sure they have "SR" flagged. |
what might be more helpful is a discussion of how and why it might work and some possible reasons.Get someone to quietly tap/shake your speaker wires while you listen blind and see if you hear a difference. Why even give these snake oiler's a chance to sell one lot to the gullible here, just another money grab like the AC mains fuses and HFT things are. |
