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.

Haven't tried these from SR, but I do use cable elevators and they do make a difference. https://systems.audiogon.com/systems/8367 

Look closely at the pictures you will see more than just Cable Elevators. There are other ceramic insulators bought on eBay after I discovered Cable Elevators are really just ceramic insulators and they all work the same. Shop around on eBay you can find ones you like at a good price, usually about $20 each. 

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. The only question is how well it works for the money. 

Synergistic has such an awesome track record, as you seem to agree, that my advice would be to get a few of the inexpensive ceramic insulators first. Maybe you are so happy with them you stop right there. But if not then the next step would be to buy the SR and compare. Most SR comes with a 30 day guarantee so worst case you keep them because they are better, and have a few ceramic insulators to put under less critical stuff like power cords. Again, see my system for reference. 

Notice the stark contrast between my deliberate, moderate, reasonable, thorough, incremental results-based approach and the others? Choose wisely.

Make your own and see if you hear any difference, lots of information in these forums on alternative options for pennies.
Like I already said Miller with a lot less verbage......

If you’ve replaced the internal combustion engine with electric, then I would believe you.

On the other hand, if I told you that I replaced the stock engine in my Volkswagen Golf with a motorcycle engine, and I’m turning 10 second ET’s at the strip, would you believe that, or would you call me crazy for even suggesting such a thing?

I would wager there far more "debbie downers" on here than nano tweakers. Reality bites.
