SHUNYATA RESEARCH VRS CARDAS AUDIO VRS SYNERGISTIC RESEARCH

This discussion IS NOT A REQUEST for an opinion related to ANY cable in my system. I am not looking for cable recommendations, or equipment recommendations. 
 

I am looking for comments associated with your listening experiences using the three cables. I have been using Shunyata Research cables for years. I am considering a new loom, and again, I DO NOT WANT RECOMMENDATIONS I WANT TO HEAR YOUR OPIONS OF THESE CABLES IN YOUR STSTEM.

hey it’s great if you own the following; Eggleston Works Andra III se, McIntosh MC601 monos, McIntosh C2600 pre, McIntosh DS200 digital streaming DAC, Panasonic Blue Ray DP-UB9000.

i have been using Shunyata ZiTron series (Snakes), starting with Cobra,Python, & Anaconda.

What was or is your thoughts, and experiences with Synergetic Research and Cardas Audio and if you own any of my equipment and Shunyatas tell me about that. 
I want to know YOUR experience with these cables, please list system components also 

I appreciate you all thanks

Hi steakster,

interesting comments regarding SR cables. I heard something almost identical to your comments from a friend of mine. Problem is he’s in CO I’m in NC. How does this tuning thing work?

my experience has always been with cables, not looking for the cable to change my system but allow it to be nutural, on the other side, how do I know what nutural is in my system. I know having used the full ZiTron Loom how freaking quite it was. I mean it all ZiTron Alpha NR pc and their analog and digital PCs, XLRs and speaker cables. Just dead quite and being a former pro drummer everything sounded so real.

i have heard exactly what bluesthinker just said too about Cardas Clear- exactly but with different equipment. This is interesting to me, I’d love to hear. From more members.

i do appreciate your input thank you/ let’s hope a more jump in maybe a couple manufacturers tore dealers too!

+1 @lordmelton , love the brevity. (don't know about Egglestons though).

I would only add that newer Shunyata cables I have tried seem overly bright or etched to me.  I prefer a more balanced full sound.

@fastfreight Have you by chance tried the Alpha X speaker cables?

“@fastfreight would only add that newer Shunyata cables I have tried seem overly bright or etched to me.“

what do you mean by this statement? The newer are bright and etched? Or the older are? Please explain

Coincidentally I've been looking at the same lineup for power and tonearm cables.

I think I'm going with Shunyata Sigma QR power cables with the KIPP break in for some components and the Cardas Clear Beyond's for my Jeff Rowland amps. And the CCB tonearm cables. 

My speaker cables and IC's I was considering but I really like the Townshend F-1 Fractal cables I have. They are clean and don't color anything. I'm skittish to try anything else. 

I will get the Synergistic Theta Ethernet cable though. I heard great things about it.
