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.

I have a friend who toured with Dylan for years and I saw him at a party recently...I asked him about Kaitty’s comment and he laughed and noted he’d NEVER heard old Bob say that...and yeah, he never has said it at the end of any album I know of. However, Kaitty claims to be an "insider" which, based on his comments and products, likely means inside some institution where he’s safe and well fed...maybe...possibly an orderly says that to Kaitty at bed time.
I’ve been in the music business for over 50 years as a musician and concert producer/sound engineer...I’ve got friends all over the place, and if anyone thinks I’m going to mention their names to in this crowd you’d be mistaken. But hey...it does seem at least some people here pay close attention to what I post! Regarding imagination, it's far more laughable that the "imagined" benefits of cable risers, SR products, and other faith based nonsense is touted here with all the hyperbole and psuedo science the athletic supporters  like Oregonpap can "imagine." There's a PILE of imaginary benefits here for all to (not) see!
Baloney...vibration from music (or sub sonic tectonic vibes generated by an overly fertile imagination) isn't the horrible thing people claim it is, and getting your cables off the floor is utterly unnecessary and, by the way, vibration still gets to the cable (unless you isolate it in drainpipes filled with cotton balls or tiny bits of fuzzy audiophile paranoia) causing zero audible distress.  What about the cable INSIDE your speakers? Wait...don't think about that last one as you won't be able to sleep.
Isolate speakers from their internal cables? Hmmm...and Thyname...I can only assume you were joking as indeed, the cables inside your speakers (and the amps inside my subs or any "active" speaker) are not on the floor (a brilliant observation) and are exposed to nightmarish levels of Evil Vibes but somehow miraculously manage to work...I suggest putting SR cable risers inside speakers and electronics and stick ’em to your head to insulate headphone cables as, clearly, that's the only way to insure the issue is remedied and SR gets more snake oil residue.
What happens to the cables inside your speakers? They’re sadly exposed to all sorts of extreme vibration, electro-mechanical or magnetic trauma...it’s a wonder they work at all, and a major reason why little outside cable holders are ridiculous.
Credibility is damaged among the hyperbole laden sheep-like faithful when they simply tumble after every silly tweak they can revel in and proudly claim the role of athletic supporter...ridiculous again (is that really only twice?). Does anybody actually think little stands are stopping air born vibration from touching the speaker cables before my previously described hell hole of inner speaker cable violence takes over? Oh the humanity...
The "electricity companies" bury cables whenever possible (any new development). Audio cables might interact with some types of carpet maybe, but if cables are well made...star quad, helix, well shielded ICs, they'l work fine and little stands won't do anything...vibration raises it's pesky head when music is played, and being unnecessarily obsessed with vibration and silly things like micro arcing is an utter waste of time...with a 30 day Guarantee!
