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.

“Theories have never proven or disproven anything. It’s INVARIABLY testing and experimentation that proves or disproves theories/hypotheses.”


Excellent point, very well said. I would add that this kind of testing and experimentation can be done anywhere by anyone. Not just in controlled, laboratory like circumstances and conditions.

Once again, these threads start going off topic.

I only posted this thread to share my opinion of a seemingly small disc that does perform quite well.

Some of the posts remind me of a time when I was power cord denier. I mean how can a 4–6-foot length of a power cord make a difference when there are potentially miles of wire leading to my house? There is no way I could believe it.

One day a salesman offered me to try a Synergetic Master coupler. Knowing that it would do nothing other than cost me money, I reluctantly took it home.

Once plugged in I couldn’t believe it. There was more bass and more of everything! How can this be?

Well, that was the start of my journey down the road of keeping an open mind when it comes to this hobby.

So here we go again with the same type of attitude, closed minds believing it can’t be true.

At this point, I believe in a few days I will ask Tammy to remove this thread. It is creating too much hostility. Those of you later on that try these discs can post your own opinions elsewhere.

Ozzy, are you using them with Townshend cables?

The material might be Shungite perhaps or similar? I’ve been meaning to try Shungite, so this reminds me.

Yes, my speaker cables are 1M of the Townshend F-1 Fractal cables. I'm not really sure what the conductor is. Interconnects are 3M Shunyata Sigma V2.
