Over the years, Synergistic Research have developed technologies that redefined what they can expect from their audio systems.
Products like the original PowerCell with its patented EM Cell set the bar as the worlds first non-current limiting AC power conditioner.
Synergistic Research then adapted its EM Cell technology to their Tranquility Base isolation platforms that condition signal while still in a component and power cords with Active EM Cells built-in to function as inline power conditioners.
Synergistic Research even applied EM Cells to bias system ground in their Active Ground Block ground conditioners and to their FEQ and Atmosphere ULF Field Generators that control room acoustics without the need for massive traditional room treatments.
Synergistic Research continued this decade-long adaption of EM Cell technology to condition the digital signal in an Ethernet Switch for perhaps their most transformational product since the original PowerCell line conditioner.
It is no secret that digital sound quality has taken monumental strides forward since the days of Perfect Sound Forever. Its also no secret that many audiophiles, including their Lead Designer, find much to love about the sound of analog playback from LPs and Tapes.
To quote the late great Harry Pearson of the Absolute Sound, The best way to enjoy digital is to not listen to analog, and in many respects, Synergistic Research agree. A state-of-the-art analog rig still excels in areas of spacial and holographic realism, as well as a harmonic texture that leaves many digital systems sounding somewhat flat and bleached in comparison.
Features
Solid Billet Aluminium Chassis
With active EM conditioning.
Enter their new Ethernet Switch UEF with UEF and Active EM Cell technology to close the gap between digital playback and state-of-the-art analog tapes and LPs. To accomplish this, Synergistic Research combined all EM Cell and UEF Tech applications and Galileo level chassis construction into a single component. EM Cell and UEF Tech to condition the digital signal? Check. An EM Cell to act as a built-in Tranquillity Base? Check. A chassis milled from a solid billet of aluminium like their Galileo Active Ground Block? Check. Use of Carbon Fibre to eliminate the effects of chassis vibration on the signal? Check.
SR Ground Block
This goes to 11.
Synergistic Research even included a direct connection port so you can star ground your new Ethernet Switch UEF to an SR Ground Block for an even lower noise floor. Subjectively in their reference system with an Ethernet Switch UEF Synergistic Research hear a more natural presentation of space and harmonic texture that rivals the best LP and tape playback. Synergistic Research also hear a Jet Black noise floor and dynamics analog rigs cannot match. Perhaps Synergistic Research have finally achieved Perfect Sound Forever. The only question is, have Synergistic Research surpassed analog playback? Only you can answer this question with a no-risk money-back guarantee.

SR Orange Fuse installed
Orange is the new blue.
The new ORANGE Quantum Fuse is a direct result of technology Synergistic Research first developed for their Limited Edition Galileo SX PowerCell. At its core are new UEF Technologies and a completely new multi-stage high voltage treatment process for the lowest noise floor of any fuse Synergistic Research have ever manufactured. In fact, ORANGE is by far the most significant leap in performance across five fuse generations. Subjective improvements include better timbral accuracy where separate instruments and voices take on a new degree of life-like realism. Other benefits over prior SR fuses include a larger soundstage with greater depth, width, and front-to-back layering. Musicality or the presence of increased detail without a hint of fatigue is off the charts for extended listening that is never harsh despite being their highest resolution fuse to date
