Galileo LUX interconnects were created with a simple intention: to preserve the natural flow of music as it moves from source to preamplifier, and from preamplifier to power amplifier. Each stage of the signal has different demands, and Galileo LUX honors this reality with an asymmetric voicing strategy shaped by UEF tuning. Rather than imposing a single signature across the entire chain, each interconnect is refined for the role it plays.
The Source-to-Pre interconnect is voiced to reveal the low-level nuance that defines the character of a recording—texture, tonal shading, spatial cues, and the delicate harmonic information that emerges only when noise is kept exceptionally low. Its UEF balance brings clarity without edge, ensuring that fine detail arrives with ease and without shifting the emotional center of the music.
The Pre-to-Power interconnect is voiced differently. Here, the signal carries greater dynamic weight, broader swings in voltage, and the responsibility of preserving scale, impact, and coherence. Its UEF tuning provides a touch more foundation, grip, and dynamic stability, allowing the system to open fully without losing the liquidity and calm that define Galileo LUX.
Together, the two voicings complement each other, forming a continuous path that feels unified and natural. The transition from one stage to the next becomes invisible, as if the system were breathing in a single, effortless motion. Galileo LUX interconnects do not call attention to themselves; they simply reveal the music with a balance and grace that mirrors the intention behind the loom.
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.

Review of 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 HEREto read the entire review
