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.

Just so you know, unlike the people who knock things they don’t understand without even trying, I actually tried a bunch of different things and went for what worked best based on how it actually sounds. So rest assured this stuff works.


Whew! I’m glad that’s settled! Thanks! ;-)

BTW, everyone who uses and believes in homeopathic medicine, or astrology, or crystal healing,  would write almost word-for-word the same type of testimony. "I tried it and I can tell you the theory works." ;-)

Frank,

You missed the point. Don’t change the analogy. If I told you I am getting 500 miles per gallon on the existing Golf engine...do you have a right to be skeptical of the claim WITHOUT "having tried it yourself?"
I’m pointing to the weakness in the purely subjectivist audiophile shibboleth "you can’t have a valid opinion about X tweak claim unless you have personally tried it!"

Frank,

I've souped up my Volkswagen Golf to get 500 miles to the gallon.  It's amaaaazing!

Now, do you think you have to have personal experience driving my car, before having any reason to be skeptical?   Would I score points against your skepticism by complaining "But you haven't TRIED it for yourself, so you have no grounds to poo-poo my claim!" ?


Remember the old adage:  Keep an open mind, but not so open that your brain falls out.  Right?

What will the genius of Ted Denney come up with next!

A continuing source of amazement (including the market for it), isn't it?
