Synergistic Research
Californian maker founded in 1992 by Ted Denney, working across cables, power, fuses and room acoustics. Synergistic take an unusually broad view of what affects a system, including the room itself.
About Synergistic Research
Quick Access
A company that treats the room as part of the system
Synergistic Research cover more ground than most cable companies. Alongside cables and power products they make fuses, grounding systems, and the HFT range of High Frequency Transducers, small devices that address room acoustics without using conventional absorption panels.
The unifying idea is that a system is affected by more than the signal path: by the electrical environment, by the mechanical one, and by the room. Whether you accept all of that is a matter for your own listening, and Synergistic products vary in how readily they demonstrate themselves. The cables and power products are the most conventional part of the range and the easiest place to start.
Theodore Denney founded the company in 1992 and still leads the design work. It started in a 1,200 square foot industrial unit and now runs from a 13,000 square foot factory in Southern California, where the products are still built by hand.
The technologies are developed in-house. Active Shielding is the oldest and the most distinctive: a small power supply biases the cable's shield rather than leaving it passive, and the same principle drives the actively biased electromagnetic cells inside the PowerCell conditioners. Cables and outlets also receive a two-stage Quantum Tunneling treatment during manufacture. UEF, short for Uniform Energy Field, is the framework Denney uses to tie the range together.
The fuses have become one of the better-known parts of the line, with a colour-coded ladder running up through the range.
Browse by Range
Foundation, Atmosphere, Galileo and SRX are the cable levels in ascending order. The fuses, PowerCell distributors and HFT room treatment products sit outside that ladder and work with any system.

Synergistic Research Purple High-End Slow-Blow Fuse - Special OfferSKU: SR Purple Slow Blow
(7 reviews)From£112.46 £158.33Ex. VAT ✓ Save £45.88The brand new Purple Fuse is Synergistic Research's latest flagship fuse, surpassing the performance of the remarkable Orange fuses thanks to a new, three-stage conditioning process and a new premium graphene UEF compound to reduce the noise floor further than has ever been possible for Synergistic Research fuses. Slow-blow fuses are most commonly found in high-powered electrical equipment. They are more tolerant to high current passing through, meaning the fuse will withstand sudden high current flowing through the unit. Slow-blow fuses should be used where the equipment utilises large amounts of power, especially when switched on, like power amplifiers, integrated amplifiers or headphone amps. When installing your new fuse, please ensure you test the fuse in both directions as they are directional from left to right. When the fuse is inserted in the correct direction it will sound more detailed.
Please note: some configurations will be special-order.
