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 would ask Ted how do they work (other than cash cow) since he likes to hang out here these days but would probably regret it.  So I won't.

I’m in a generous mood today so I’ll give you this hint as to how they work.

Yours in music,

Ozzy seems to have always been a straight shooter.  So I appreciate when he lets us know of something that works well for him. Thank Ozzy for the heads up.

Mad Scientist (down in Australia) had something similar and gave some out for free to get some feedback. I got some of their discs and they were about the size of a nickel and a bit thicker and needed something tacky to keep them on the connectors of the ICs. 

I thought I heard a difference but that was with a less revealing system and don't know if I have them anymore to try out.

All the best,
Nonoise
