Synergy?

Not really sure what you mean with your use of synergy but I've never heard it used in terms of improving measureable performance.

Normally I hear people say get a speaker with greater highs if your amp is dark, or a more powerful sounding cartridge if you've got a lame sounding system or other equally obvious comments that at best give a medicre outcome.

I always considered synergy the heaping on of strengths, ie. selecting components that all represent the same set of strengths - and selecting these strengths based on a listeners preference or bias. This IMO is the way to get the best outcome.

As far as your comment on highly touted components goes that's easy. Most components touted by most of the pro's or in magazines are nothing more than monthly mucous promotions to grow the industry and ensure the future advertising revenues. Historically I'm rarely surprised how good a recommended or highly touted component is - far more often than not I've very disappointed, and more and more often in fact often I'm surprised by how bad it actually is.


Give me rhythm or give me death!
