Reading this review I get the impression that while these cables are quite and detailed they may not be very musical or enjoyable to listen to. Is this true?
Richard, quite the opposite! As noted in our finishing commentary,
“We sit here thinking about how to sum up the loom of Synergistic Research’s audio cables. These are not polite and controlled cables. They are not cables that romanticize and smother you with warmth or cover up detail. The Synergistic Research set of cables are expansive in all three dimensions, revealing with resolution and raw details, incredibly quiet in its noise floor with a lot of bass extension in treble energy. Sometimes describing these characteristics can imply that the system is bright, sterile, dry, and even a bit artificial. But where we were truly impressed is their ability to maintain a sense of musicality, immersive liveliness, and natural energy.”

Were you able to compare the tranquility bases with the symposium bases?
