  • Join us in this Part 1 of 2 video as Howard reviews Synergistic Research’s flagship, $28,000 (USD) Galileo PowerCell SX power conditioner. Included at that price is the company’s $10,000 active SRX power cable, also a flagship product. Still with that kind of price tag, this Galileo is obviously aimed at super high-end systems. In this first part of the review, we examine the Galileo and find out what makes it so expensive before addressing the questions of whether its price tag is justified and it performs as advertised.

    SR doesn't make capacitors, why are the label as such?

    No UL, ETL, DIN, VDE? Nutin'? Why not...unsafe in any environment?

    I bought Synergistic Research cables about thirty years ago for about $1000. Now, the same set of similar cables is about $15,000. Can we say inflation?

    What does a SR duplex outlet do? that a Leviton doesn't? $10,000 AC line cord? Is it UL listed

    Specs, what specs, showing AC in, versus AC out...UL listed? NO, why not? UL tests products for safety, is this not able to pass UL standards? or ETL CSA, no independent lab certs, means it's not built to any industry standards, why not?

      @@thelisteningchair_ name 3 and why are they using non UL NON ETL, NON CSA, etc etc? what independent lab safety tests has it passed? $28K, is a lot of money for a Box with some LED'S. Does it pass UL noise and spike suppression tests? Inquiring customers want to know. Ya can't listen to how it will perform when a large spike hits it, and it goes up in smoke, along with your facility. Specs please...how can you have a 32A connector ending in a 15A cord cap....UL, ever hear of it? Explain

      @@cengeb Those question about studios is more fairly asked of the manufacturer. I do know that SR has posted photos on social media of their gear being used in studios, so I am sure you can find them there or just ask them. I have been using power conditioners from one mfr or another for decades and none has ever "gone" up in smoke or even failed to work. Nor do I know anyone who that has happened to. Ever. On UL certification, many high end mfrs don't get it due to cost. I don't know the specific circumstances here. I am not saying the practice is good or bad, just that it's very common with many respected manufacturers. And if you think that this product is just a box with some LEDs, that makes me think you are just trolling and not serious about what you are saying.

      @@thelisteningchair_ specs did your unit come with instructions,that give electrical specs? Simple question. $28,k products can surely eat the price of testing to a independent lab for safety and meeting the most basic electrical safety standards. A $30 , hair drier has a ul listed spec number. Why don't pricey audio? Also you fail to explain what tuning an ac signal is all about,don't you want to ask the mfg before you review this thing so you can try the different functions ? What do the supplied instructions describe what turning an ac power supply is,or how. All you did was parrot the claims,but didn't substantiate anything. What kind of review is this,,?

      The good old "We don't listen with test gear" argument, that's from the Snake Oil book first page, first sentence.
      How about the Double Blind Test I also proposed that you seem to overlook for some reason?
      I don't hold my breath though, if this ever happens everyone will fail, miserably.
