New Synergistic Product: Tuning Discs

I was lucky enough to be asked to try out a prototype of a new Synergistic Research product. For now, I think they are calling it a Tuning disc.

What it looks like is a small wafer (smaller than a dime and is very thin). They are either in gold or purple tops and are attached using some tacking substance. I placed 2 on top of my Shunyata Sigma V2 interconnects.

I wasn’t expecting much but whoa, did these things work! First, I tried the purple on my interconnects and boy did the soundstage widen with lots of air.

Then I tried the gold discs and though the sound stage shrunk perhaps a little but the naturalness of the music was fantastic!

Hard to believe that these things work so well, I am really impressed.

I dont pretend my "golden plates" best this product at all, i dont know, but at least is less expansive and work for me... i had no problem with this company synergistic products at all but the boss treat me like shit when i wanted to discuss in one of his seller thread...i was menacing his trade it seems in his head...I like to discuss unlike this guy.... And anyway my acoustic method is superior to any electronic equalisation or electronic tuning... AT NO COST... By the way i dont think coal will be usefull...But any minerals , any of them affect the S.Q. put on some point near the audio system but often negatively ... People are too lazy to experiment and prefer to throw money .... Myself i already know that nothing best acoustic anyway even tweaks that work well and which i created or replicate...like my Shuman generators grid... Why does that interacting with the EM field make for better sound? Because it can? Also carbon fiber cannot cost much so one would expect price to reflect that. One might try a lump of coal or two and see what happens. Inexpensive if it works so you can add as much as you want cost effectively. @mahgister could probably advise well regarding what materials work best and most cost effectively.

Your research has paralleled mine in that I have found the results can often be negative. It took me years to find some sort of repeatable pattern in their usage. The impacts can be quite profound when applied intelligently. I believe the mechanism at play is the one under discussion at present.

There are two variants, Purple and Gold. Purple is more holographic and airy while Gold sounds richer, warmer and more liquid. In most systems you will find optimal applications for both.

You can check through your dealer, or you can inquire with SR for a dealer near you. In the SR website, there is form you can fill out when you hit “buy” under each product. I know the following are SR dealers: https://highend-electronics.com/collections/synergistic-research https://www.thecableco.com If you look at the SR page on these new products, it says right there “30 day money back guarantee” : https://www.synergisticresearch.com/isolation/accessories/carbon-tuning-disks/
