Synergistic Research Galileo Discovery Power Cables
Galileo Discovery Power Cables
Galileo Discovery power cables are ten parallel geometries that evolved over 25 years of continual power cord development. Synergistic Research then adds their highest performance Active EM Cell, first developed for SR25 and SRX power cords making this a high-resolution power cord and an active AC filter to eliminate cross-contamination between analog and digital components. And for enhanced performance, Galileo Discovery’s shield can be optionally grounded to any Synergistic Research Active or passive Ground Block, including our Galileo Active Ground Block for an even lower noise floor with improved holographic realism.Next, SR use a Swiss-made power supply to improve the Galileo Discovery’s Active Noise Canceling EM Cell encased in carbon fiber. This powers the cable’s Active DC Biased Shield and UEF Technology first developed for Purple Fuses and the SRX cable loom. Usually cables as detailed and transparent as Galileo Discovery suffer from diminished musicality due to resolution that may be too much for some systems. However, this is not the case with Galileo Discovery, thanks to a new Purple Fuse UEF Compound that fleshes out a harmonic richness. It also opens up the sound stage with extended high frequencies and bass for the most musical and detailed Galileo power cord to date. SR then applied a new UEF Matrix Shielding Array first developed for SRX cables to interact with the surrounding EM Fields for the lowest noise floor possible. Finally, SR treat each power cord with a new Multi-Frequency, Long-Duration High Voltage Conditioning Process from the SRX Development Program.
Galileo Discovery power cords are voiced to your system with included Gold and Silver SRX Carbon Tuning Circuits. The Silver option gives you a detailed and dynamic sound with pinpoint image placement. In contrast, the gold variant sounds liquid and smooth but with excellent detail. For best performance, SR recommends you allow these power cords to settle into your system for at least 72 hours before tuning. Then compare Gold and Silver SRX Tuning Circuits starting as high up the signal chain as possible on a cable-by-cable basis. Typically, you will prefer one color or the other in most applications but with a few applications where the opposite variant sounds best. In this way, you realize the best of both Silver and Gold, and when you’ve finished, you’ve created a bespoke power cord loom just right for your system and personal tastes. Of course, the tuning process is optional for people who prefer not to take this step.
Reviews for the predecessor Galileo SX.
Howard Kneller of SoundStage Ultra (April 2019) wrote:
"...the Galileo SXes may well set a new high bar for audio-cable performance. Further, while at first glance their geometries are more similar to than different from those of the Galileo UEFs, the SXes considerably outperformed the older cables... I’m smitten with the sound of Synergistic Research’s Galileo SXes: breathtakingly lively, exciting, and dynamic, yet gorgeously rich, musical, and accurately full-bodied. They are definite contenders for the designation 'the state of the art'..."

Mike Girardi of The StereoTimes concluded (March 2019):
"...the approach taken by SR to conduct double-blind trials and selecting the preferred UEF technology based on the emotional connection to the music as one listens proved to be highly successful and validated repeatedly in my listening room. In similar fashion to how the SR Active Grounding Block SE performed in my system, the resulting lower noise floor and frequency uniformity delivered by the Galileo SX AC power cables have allowed me to listen to music at lower volumes without loss of detail, silence between notes, and dynamics. With the Galileo SX cables, it’s much easier to become emotionally connected to the music on many levels. Although the price of admission is high, the increase in system performance in relative terms justifies the cost outlay. The Galileo SX AC power cables are my new reference..."
