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 bid you good day @wesheadley and your side kick @gita Say hi to Gene." You misapprehend me sir. My post was sarcasm. Sorry it was lost on you. In every subjective/objective contentious thread, without fail, someone brings up "the placebo effect" as if they invented it and none of the rest of us had considered it. It's tiring. That's why I was making fun.

Now, now, now......let’s just wait and see what happens. :)
@wesheadley , I would encourage you stretch out and test your absolute and objective audio beliefs. Why not reach out directly? You might be surprised at some of our members' generosity. Take the tour. Listen for yourself. Then report back, and write a review.

Placebo effect is one thing....Nocebo effect work too... If someone decided that some change in his system cannot affect the sound his brain will CONFORM the sensory apparatus and will negate the effect of the change which will not be observed not even registered ...
Then ONLY one thing count for me: change introduced in an incremental process of continuous changes in one direction .... The general tuning direction of my system.... It is called tuning a system/room... Each step is debatable....The process in his wholeness and complete effect is not.... I used my own homemade devices in the mechanical and the electrical embeddings dimensions and especially my tuning devices in the acoustical dimension... placebo effect? Yes for each step separated from all the others in some case certainly there exist a form of placebo effect... But explaining all my system S.Q. completely transformed AT THE END by only the magic of the placebo is bad science use of a serious concept... Why not the reverse? Why all measures obsessed people would not be described by being nocebo bearer ?
I have no idea if Synergistic products works and to which degree but consumers must decide by themselves BY EXPERIMENT... Myself i need nothing but i will not bash others because they are curious to experiment... Judging others experience to be delusion is only that : a prejudice worst than what some want to denounce... The only thing that interest me in this product is what it is made of? ( i created my own " golden plates" years ago who act also like a filter all along my electrical line) Alas! it is a trade secret i presume...Mine were a composite of shungite ( a carbon based minerals) copper and quartz.... 😁😊 |
