Ever hear a power cable make a huge difference?


I just had to share this. I went to synergistic research the other day to get some cables re-terminated. I saw some power cords on the floor and decided to ask about them. Ted, said they were all prototypes, would I like to listen. He brought me into the demo room and played some great music. He switched out the preamp power cord for one of the prototypes and man was it noticably better. Then, he left and came back into the room with a big smile on his face. He pulled a cable from the back that I swear was just recently built. He confirmed that no one had listened to it yet. He put the new power cable on the preamp and...................NO WAY!!!!!!!!!!!! It was unbelieveable what a difference I heard. I could not believe how much bigger the sound stage grew, better focus, detail, and faster tighter bass. I had him switch the PC in and out because I just could not believe what I heard. Then he said "lets make it better." He brought it to his Tesla machine and gave it a quantum tunneling. He put it back in the system and to my surprise it was un believably better then what I had just heard. It now made the whole system easily sound 3 times as good. I just could not believe my ears. Then I had to know, how much could I get this cable for. I would think at least $2000 if not $3000. Nope, this will probably go for $500. Well Ted, sign me up for a few of those bad boys.

Leica Man: Awesome video! Thanks for the link. Really liked the slow pan up to the vent in the ceiling for no particular reason. And if you look very carefully in the glass, you can just make out a reflection of the operator, including the giant bolt that runs through his neck.

I'm wondering now if I should retract my snarky comment at the beginning of this thread--I really had no idea that there were electrical meters and big sparks involved in this process. It must be VERY scientific!

And I was thinking, if they're really serious about the quantum mechanical nature of their enterprise, shouldn't they include some of those classic product warning labels?

Here are a few to consider:

Handle with Extreme Care: This Product Contains Minute Electrically Charged Particles Moving at Velocities in Excess of Five Hundred Million Miles per Hour.

This is a 100% Matter product: In the Unlikely Event That This Merchandise Should Contact Antimatter in Any Form, a Catastrophic Explosion Will Result.

Attention: Despite Any Other Listing of Product Contents Found Hereon, the Consumer Is Advised That, in Actuality, This Product Consists Of 99.9999999999% Empty Space.

and perhaps most appropriate,

Advisory: There is an Extremely Small but Nonzero Chance That, Through a Process Known as 'Tunneling,' This Product May Spontaneously Disappear from Its Present Location and Reappear at Any Random Place in the Universe, Including Your Neighbors Domicile. The Manufacturer Will Not Be Responsible for Any Damages or Inconvenience That May Result.

But only when connected to Improbable Drive.
True. Power cords make a difference. I have heard a few. Never it was as shocking as described above though.

I respect Synergistic Research. These guys make very good cables. I did audition Tesla Accelerator speaker cables as soon as they came out. They were excellent and sounded really good in my system.

But these guys are stepping out of bounds with this Quantum Tunneling stuff. Also, this obviously fascinates some people here. Tesla is becoming a cult here on audiogon. The only other few things that can still compete with it in audio forums as far as publicity is concerned are the Anti-Cables, Acoustic Zen Adagio speakers, modified SMc Audio amps and Supratek.

Why can't SR do what they do at the factory quietly and be a little more modest about it. There is no need for this video to be on their website. They've been around for years and have their clientele and solid reputation.
Why this?
I suspect at the prices for some of the cables out there many buyers are getting a "quantum tunneling".
I turn 50 in a couple of weeks and this is reminding me of what I will be going through with my doctor......C'mon..I agree with Audphilel.....Ted Denney has lost some credibilty here in my opinion. Just make a good cable for all of us to enjoy !!!!! I still can't sit down after that
