@ozzy - I think that you have a solid track record of offering open and honest opinions regarding, tweaks, cables, etc. that you have tried regardless of the prevailing winds or what manufacturer may be involved. From my vantage point your only "agenda" is to offer your opinion/experience; no sinister designs attached.
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.

The issue with georgeshifi was he thought things should be free or inexpensive if he thought they should be. Period. He didn't care if a country fell apart, certain things should ONLY cost everyone, not someone, EVERYONE the same. Strangest way of thinkin' I've ever seen. Comrade Lenin would have been proud! I personally love to let the "I know it all" kind of person spend all the money they want. They didn't ask me, besides they knew it all anyways.. I did order 4 Vicoustic Vari Bass Tunable Helmholtz Resonator though.. I know they work. :-) |
So, I have now tried placing the tuning discs on the speaker cables at the amp end or at the speaker end. Ted suggested placing these at the speaker end. I initially felt they sounded better at the amp end. Today, I again placed them at the speaker end, and I think Ted is right they do sound more 3 dimensional in that direction with a more stable center image. At the amp end they sounded more diffused perhaps that is why they seemed to have more air. I still have the discs on the interconnects at the source end. ozzy |
