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.

Wrong forum.  This is Audiogon.

Skeptical am I. Hard to discern the ways of the Force. Just hoping it ain't the dark side. 

Shades of the Combak, Marigo and other “tuning” dots/discs.  Not a new idea.  Never tried any so I have no opinion as to effectiveness.  

@simguy place the discs at rhe beginning of cables– ic, sc, dig, pc. Also transformers, caps, on the screw between two electrical outlets, between a bank of tubes– no need to treat all tubes, the application list goes on and on but usually no more than one or two per component.

So, the question as to how many to use.

The discs are only placed at the sending end of the cable. So, for a pair of interconnects only 2 are needed.

Since I only have a couple of them, I have not been able to try them on both the interconnects and speaker cables at the same time.

But, at both the speaker cables output (at the amp end) and at the interconnects output (at the source end) they proved to be very beneficial. Perhaps too many of them would not be as good, but at this point I can't say.

A package of 4 should do a system. However, the tweaker that I am, I would also like to experiment with them on power cords and video when they do become available.

BTW, thank you for the support against the rabble rousers.
