Price Isn't Always Indicitive of Quality or Performance
@juanmanuelfangioii  I may not be completely accurate with the precise numbers of MSRP for 2022, but I know I am not wrong that markup percentage on goods is different state by state. California and New York being the highest in the nation.   Wh... 
Price Isn't Always Indicitive of Quality or Performance
@P05129 Regardless of the color of the sound, a cable should be able to replicate all notes. In this system I have had a very wide upgrade path: AudioQuest Victoria AudioQuest Yosemite Synergistic Research Foundation Synergistic Research Atmosph... 
Cable Quality vs Customer Service
@soix Unfortunately I cannot give a good report on sound-stage and imaging because I am still using SR products. For example, the Powered Speakers are using the SR Purple Fuse, which creates a beautiful holographic sound-stage and imaging. I am a... 
Cable Quality vs Customer Service
@soix @slaw  UPDATE Ok, So I got excited with the unbelievable sound quality of the Lavricable for my headphones that I ordered a custom cable variation for my reference system.  It uses the exact same Grand line cable but with solid silver RCA ... 
Cable Quality vs Customer Service
@ortodox  I haven't, but if the performance is anything like what I have experienced, it should be stellar. However, I have zero experience in having a pure silver conductor power cable :( .  The Shunyata Alpha does have one silver core and the o... 
Cable Quality vs Customer Service
@fsonicsmith  I completely understand. However, in the case of Synergistic Research, they advertise and make headphone cables. They specifically state that they make cables for the Audioquest Nighthawk/owl.  I simply asked them to make what they ... 
Cable Quality vs Customer Service
@soix  I have finally had a solid few hours plus listening to music and the Lavricables decimate the Synergistic Research cable by leaps and bounds. Not a subtle difference.  The SR cable was clean and clear, which is great....but...the Lavricabl... 
Cable Quality vs Customer Service
@slaw  I paid for the 150hr burn in service.  However, the dielectric bias field generated during that session would have decayed by the time of arrival.  So, a good hour or two of listening would reestablish it. So, I finally got a good, long, ... 
Cable Quality vs Customer Service
@slaw  I already got the Lavricables O_O Very interesting. I need to really spend more time with them, but from I can tell so far, they are HYPER revealing. There is a sense that there is reduced bass response, but I think it's because the bass ... 
Cable Quality vs Customer Service
@rsf507  Unfortunately, I am invested fairly deep in SR products.  There are too many components that I would have to replace with no guarantee that I would end up with the same sound quality, to risk kicking all the equipment to the curb. :(  I ... 
Cable Quality vs Customer Service
@slaw  WOW!  Lavricables is FAST!!!  I will be receiving the cable TOMORROW!  Shipping from Latvia was only three days O_O. I will post the results when I listen to them. :)  
Homage to those who are pleased with your audio rig
I have to admit, that I finally scratched the itch. Even though there is still room to grow, I finally got the music in my system to a point where I am not hearing any sound that is lacking, where I think I need some other upgrade. I can finally ... 
Results with Shunyata Venom Defender
@gbmcleod  I would contact Shunyaya before you buy a Defender for your PS10.  I have the Venom V16 Power Distributor and they told me not to get a Defender as the system basically already does what the Defender would do.  Make sure you aren't dou... 
Cable Quality vs Customer Service
UPDATE: OK, so I kept ruminating on my experience and I decided to talk to Dave @ SR and detailed the issue and he took the time to listen and will try to make it right. So...we'll see what happens.  
Cable Quality vs Customer Service
@slaw  I have this feeling that they will be wonderful cables.  They just may take some time to get here.  That's fine. :) Yeah, I have seen him on here.  Since the title of this thread doesn't have the words "Synergistic Research" I doubt he wi...
