SRX Series Power Cable

SRX Power Cable.

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. 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.

What’s inside?

Additional SR25 technologies include a pure silver Ground Plane that can be connected to our Active Ground Block for a lower noise floor and added holographic sound staging and dynamic impact and a Swiss Made power supply developed to optimize the pure silver EM Cells. SRX has the exact same wall and IEC connectors developed for the SR25 made from Carbon Fiber and special Rhodium contacts selected in blind listening tests for their perfect sonic balance within the sound of the cable itself. Each SRX power cord comes with two carbon fiber UEF Tuning Modules specially voiced for the SRX so you can strike the perfect balance between detail and musicality for your system. To voice SRX to your system listen to the Gold (warm) and the Silver (detail) bullet and select the option that makes music in your system. Needless to say, this is the most holographic, lowest noise floor and dynamic and musical power cord in our line-up. This power cord is exceptionally well suited for use with our PowerCell 12SE line conditioner as just one SRX can improve the performance of your PowerCell and this improves every connected component in your system.

SRX + Master Carbon Cable Tuning Modules.

Redifining refinement.

Now with Master Tuning Modules ($850/pair MSRP). SRX Cables come standard with the most potent and musical UEF Tuning Bullets in our company’s 30-year history and work 100% outside the signal path. Both Gold and Silver bullets are handcrafted in our Southern California Factory from carbon fiber and aircraft aluminum with the Gold option plated in 24k Gold not only for aesthetic beauty but also to help voice the bullet to its intended role as the most musical option for specific systems. To use SRX Carbon Fiber Tuning Modules, allow your SRX cables to settle into your system for 48-72 hours, and then experiment with your two options on a cable by cable basis. Start by inserting a Gold Bullet and then compare to the Silver option and select the variant that makes music in your system. Gold Bullets have a warm and liquid balance that is also more open and transparent than our other warm-biased tuning bullets. While Silver is more extended and detailed but the option that will work best and sound neutral is totally system dependent. If you voice your SRX cables one pair at a time, you will find one color that works best in most applications, plus a few that perform better with the alternate option. This process is how you will get the best from both Gold and Silver bullets when arriving at a bespoke cable loom voiced for your unique system.

Synergistic Research SRX Power Cable Review

“Once connected to my Powercell and burned in for just over a week, I sat down and listened to my standard digital file set list for an initial evaluation. I have been using this group of tracks for well over five years and without much change. Typically, I bounce through the first dozen or so just to get a feel for what to expect. This time, I was immediately locked into each track from beginning to end and without interruption for several hours of listening. I cannot remember this ever happening before.

Why? Well, I could talk about the deeper blacker noise floor, the expansion of the sound stage in all directions, the holographic pinpoint imaging, and the rich full bodied textures, but there was something so fundamentally different with the SRX in place that I could just not skip through the music as usual”

….The Synergistic Research SRX power cord has me rethinking my entire system configuration and performance. When only one SRX power cord was used with the Synergistic Research PowerCell 12 UEF SE power conditioner to drive my entire system there was a clear correctness of presentation that had not previously been realized. I can only imagine what might happen if I used the SRX for all my components! Caveat emptor. Never say never. If you audition the SRX, you may never go back.”

The Synergistic Research SRX Power cord has me rethinking my entire system configuration and performance. It is the finest power cord yet to enter my listening room. Key design elements include a unique combination of six-nines pure silver conductors, silver ground plane connectivity, DC biased active shielding, and new Carbon Fiber IEC connectors and Rhodium contacts.

When only one SRX power cord was used with my Synergistic Research PowerCell 12 UEF SE power conditioner to drive my entire system, there was a correctness of presentation and life like experience that had not previously been realized. I can only imagine what might happen if I used the SRX for all my components! Clearly, a state of the art product.

SR25 Limited Edition Power Cable

The inspiration behind SRX…

This is a tour-de-force of all the technologies SR has developed over the past quarter century. SR25 has a linear electromagnetic cell in the form of a handmade Pure Silver ribbon laminate that runs the length of the cable, two electromagnetic cells inside the carbon fiber housing, including a Swiss made power supply. Conductors are 6-gauge 99.9999% pure mono crystal silver totaling 6 gauge. Only 100 SR25 power cords will be made. Just one of these power cords transformed my reference system on the Berkeley reference DAC. This cable is the power cord against which all others will be measured for years to come.

Synergistic Research SRX Power Cable

The Predator.

No matter how hard did I try, the results of using the Synergistic Research SRX power cable were consistently phenomenal. Always improvements, no tradeoffs. I am wondering why there is such a performance gap between the already great Synergistic Research Galileo SX power cable, and the SRX. At least in my system, these two were completely different animals. If the SRX is a sabre-tooth lion, the other power cords (including the SR’s own) are more like all other cats to it. Yes, there is a lot of variety and beauty too, but there is only one real predator. The SRX.

Audiodrom - September 2022

Synergistic Research SR25 Power Cable Review

“Synergistic Research’s complex and difficult-to-manufacture SR25 Limited Edition power cord so stunningly demonstrates the relationship between high-quality power and high-quality sound that it may represent the apotheosis of power-cord design. When I said that the SR25 transformed virtually every aspect of my system’s sound, I wasn’t exaggerating. It was difficult to believe that these improvements were caused by a single power cord, or that my system already contained a high-end power conditioner and cords. Once again, Ted Denney has proven that the simplest circuit is not necessarily the best sounding. Twenty large — enough to buy a new Honda Civic — is a very great deal to pay for a power cord, and most can’t pay it at all. The audiophile masses will take solace in the technologies that I hope will eventually trickle down from the SR25.

Can a $20,000 power cord constitute a bargain? It can, if it delivers a greater improvement in sound than you’d get from spending an extra $20,000 on, say, a six-figure power amp. However, expanding on Ted Denny’s point that a power conditioner can feed every active device in an audio system, I recommend starting with Synergistic’s PowerCell 12 UEF SE conditioner ($6495/120V), which provides the most bang for the buck. But if you choose to forgo the kids’ college educations for the silver-laden SR25, be prepared to experience what could very well be the state of the art of power delivery.”
