Galileo LUX digital cables—AES/EBU and RCA—were designed to deliver the clarity, refinement, and musical ease that define the LUX experience, while respecting the precise electrical requirements of digital audio transfer. Each format demands its own strict impedance and timing behavior, so the geometry for each cable is built specifically around its protocol to ensure stable impedance, low jitter, and clean, accurate signal transitions.
At the core of each design are pure 6N silver AirStrings—multi-gauge conductors suspended in a true air dielectric to minimize dielectric absorption and energy storage. This architecture gives the cable the speed, precision, and low noise floor that digital playback requires, while preserving the fine textural and spatial information that emerges only after the data is converted back into music.
Encircling this conductor system, a protocol-specific UEF compound interacts with the cable’s electromagnetic field, refining boundary conditions that influence timing stability, noise behavior, and overall coherence. By calming micro-distortions and reducing RF turbulence around the conductors, the cable allows detail, harmonic structure, and ambient cues to be expressed with greater ease and naturalness.
The result is a digital interconnect that reflects the central intention of Galileo LUX— resolution without sharpness, musicality without obscurity, and an expansive sound field that feels open, stable, and effortlessly coherent.
It honors the precision digital audio demands while preserving the graceful balance that defines the LUX experience.
6N Pure Silver Air-strings and Pure Silver Ribbon Laminate
While voicing Galileo LUX, we applied the same disciplined approach used in our reference designs—employing pure silver in both the ribbon laminate and multi-gauge Air-String conductors for its superior conductivity, low energy storage, and natural harmonic integrity. This combination delivers speed, texture, and tonal refinement with a stability that reflects the intent behind the loom.
Reviews
Review 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'..." CLICK HERE to read the entire review
