What reviewers think

Bloggers and YouTubers have tried this product—so we've summarized their strongest opinions below. Links to full reviews follow.

What are hifi reviews useful for? (1) Identifying products you should demo in person at a dealer. (2) Learning which products reviewers unanimously praise as the best they've heard (this means they probably are legitimately great). (3) Identifying a product's attributes that satisfy your idiosyncratic needs and tastes. Beyond that, we often discount what reviewers say because they heap praise on most products—and are often apprehensive about publishing strong criticism or comparisons between products. Further, they seldom have more than a few products on-hand, often relying on their memories to compare past products. Always listen for yourself.

Manufacturer details

  • Construction: 10 separate power cables (4 High Current Pure Silver Strings, 2 Pure Silver Air Strings, 2 Pure Silver Air Ribbons, 1 Pure Copper Mesh Ground Plane, 1 Pure Copper Active Shield)
  • Voltage and current rating US: 20amp/125v
  • Voltage and current rating International: 16amp/250v
  • Pure Silver Conductor Gauge: 6 gauge
  • Standard Lengths: 6 and 8 ft
  • MSRP: $10,000 / 6ft ($1,000 per additional foot)
The technology for our new SRX power cord comes direct from our SR25 25th Anniversary power cord that was limited to 100 pieces worldwide. The SRX is an exact duplicate of the now sold-out SR25 with one exception, we are using a different grade of pure six-nines silver, and this cuts the cost of our reference power cord in half. Each SRX power cord is fabricated by hand in our California factory including a flexible pure silver signal path ribbon laminate that acts as an Electromagnetic Cell running the full length of the cable from the wall plug to the IEC.

Each SRX power cord is fabricated by hand in our California factory including a flexible pure silver signal path ribbon laminate that acts as an Electromagnetic Cell running the full length of the cable from the wall plug to the IEC. Additional AC conductors are made from pure six-nines silver in an Air Dielectric for a total of nine gauge of pure silver each for the hot and neutral run.

In every respect, the SRX represents the zenith of what we currently know on building the world's state-of-the-art power cord. SR technologies include the most advanced UEF shielding we have ever developed for a power cord and the most complex duel folded electromagnetic cells we have placed in a power cord made from pure six nines silver for both the hot and neutral AC leg. With a long flexible flat EM Cell and two folded EM Cells all made from pure six-nines silver, you have in effect a pure silver PowerCell line conditioner in an AC cable format.

Brand highlights

Taking a step back to look at reviewers' thoughts of the brand's entire lineup—not just this product—what stands out most is the following:

  • Synergistic Research products often include proprietary EM (Electromagnetic) cell technology to actively filter and condition AC power, without limiting current flow.
  • They provide a range of tuning options, such as selectable ULF (Ultra Low Frequency) generators and included tuning discs, to tailor the sound to specific music genres or system preferences.
  • SR power conditioners commonly feature isolated outlet banks designed to separate analog and digital components, reducing cross-contamination and improving overall clarity.
  • Synergistic Research bundles their power conditioners with high-quality power cords and upgraded wall outlets, offering a complete power conditioning solution out of the box.

SR30 AC

  • Positioning: The entry-level power cable in the Synergistic Research lineup.
  • Description: Offers a balance of performance and affordability, featuring 12-gauge OFC copper for high current delivery. It includes UEF Matrix Shielding, similar to higher-end models like the Atmosphere SX, to reduce noise and enhance resolution.

Atmosphere SX Euphoria SX Level 3

  • Positioning: A mid-tier power cable in the Atmosphere SX series.
  • Description: Uses Active Shielding and Swiss-made power supply, offering a sound profile akin to the premium Galileo SX. It combines copper and silver conductors.

Galileo Discovery Power Cables

  • Positioning: A high-end power cable series within the Synergistic Research lineup.
  • Description: Features an Active EM Cell and UEF Matrix Shielding for noise reduction.

SRX AC

  • Positioning: A premium power cable positioned just below the flagship SRX XL in the lineup.
  • Description: Made with pure six-nines silver conductors and advanced UEF shielding.

SRX XL AC

  • Positioning: The flagship power cable in the Synergistic Research lineup.
  • Description: Features additional pure silver geometries and advanced tuning modules.

Our take on the brand

Synergistic Research stands out for their Active Shielding technology, which applies DC voltage bias to cable shielding to reduce noise, and their dual ULF generator system in products like the PowerCell 8 SX that enables switching between different sonic signatures. Their product line includes distinctive electromagnetic cell-based power conditioners and the Tranquility Pod, which uses active EM cells and Graphene to condition the electromagnetic environment within audio components.
