Synergistic Research Element Tungsten Interconnect

Actively Shielded Tungsten Interconnect

The Synergistic Research Element Tungsten is a fantastic choice in interconnects for anyone who wants a “you are there” experience from their favorite recordings; a cable suitable for upper end components capable of a high degree of resolution, Element Tungsten represents state-of-the-art performance at a real world price.

Listening notes from lead cable designer, Ted Denney

Tungsten with Grey Bullets: “Amazing soundstage. By far the most holographic element”

“The difference between GE-A 79 (silver) and GE-B 35 (tungsten) is like the difference between a Ferrari 355 and a Acura NSX. The NSX is polite easy to drive and refined while the Ferrari is more spirited, less balanced overall yet posses magic and a connection to the road that leaves the Honda seeming somewhat boring by comparison”

“Huge sound field that may combine well with other elements”

“Spooky Huge Sound Field”

Enigma Tuning Bullets

As with all Element Series cables start with Grey Enigma Tuning Bullets first and allow the cable to settle in for at least 48 hours before experimenting with Silver and Black tuning options. If after 48 hours you wish to open up the sound field and upper registers substitute Silver bullets or if your system requires more warmth, try listening with the Black bullets.
