Why don't gold based cable fans try Synergistic

Sorry it sounds off to you Shellie! With the SR, everytime I touched something metal in the room, zap. Everytime I touched a component on my shelf, zap, static charge. My Anthem Statement D1 was put out of commission from a static charge, with the SR in the system. I had to send it 3600 Kilometers to Toronto to get it fixed, meanwhile my AV system is down! In 25 years I have never had that issue. With it out of the system the static charges from people touching, me touching the equipment, and me touching the rack......I would estimate, are down at least 90%, with the intensity of the shock also down considerably. If I am the only person in the world that this has happened to, I'm ok with that..........it didn't work for me in my system, in my home, for some reason, seriously! Like I said......I really liked it, best interconnect I had to that point, but I was not going to risk anymore equipment, sold it, and NO problems since! If everyone else with SR has no issues with them, awesome, but my experience has taken me away from SR. As for the dealer, no..........I'm not comfortable naming names. I respect peoples opinions, experience, and honesty and am not about to hang them out there because of something they told me in a private conversation. Right now I have Stealth Indra and Gabriel Gold in my system and love them both. Over the XMass holidays I auditioned a Gabriel Gold Rapture "R" speaker cable which was incredible, I suspect the Stealth may be replaced in my system in the near future. Gold is great!

Adwiegert, yes on the humidifier idea!! I actually just bought one before XMass........the better half says I'm snoring less too!! But, we're getting off topic I think.......(my fault) just wanted to put my 2 cents in on my Gold vs SR cable experience.

Bullot, what lends credence to your experience is that nothing else has happened since you stopped using charged cables. But like Shellie, I don't see any mechanism that this could happen. Were I you I would check whether the outlets you are or were using as to whether they are wired properly. There are little plug-ins that immediately tell you. If they are all correctly wired, I would just rest in peace.

Sounds like a good idea Tbg........I was actually just reading on that yesterday, a polarity check. Electrical was part of my College instruction, be it many many years ago, so I was baffled too. Even though I could not explain it, it was there........it was my experience! I will look into the plug issue and report back. I did not look into the plug issue prior for a number of reasons; my room was built with all new wiring and plugs, electrical panel, etc., within the last year by a qualified electrician......and I've never had an issue until then, or since.... also,I did call a Synergistic dealer and I discussed the matter with him, and he was not floored like some here seem to be. I won't repeat what he told me because it's not my experience, and unsubstantiated, even though he was/is, an SR dealer.......and for that I appreciated his integrity!
I actually want to put a new custom outlet there anyways, so this will give me good reason to pull it. Might take a week or two to get back as I don't seen any time off in the next little while.

Bullot, I don't respect his integrity. He sounds like someone unknowing of anything electrical. Why would he be a SR dealer if he knew something was wrong with them electrically?
