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.

Thank you @mesonto. The people who don’t like my products usually don’t understand electricity. They have a late 1800s view that it’s electrons flowing down a pipe, think water. Or, “how can the last 5 feet of a power cord blah blah blah.” They just don’t understand electricity, and they’re very angry and insistent in their misunderstandings.

Yours in music,

Electrical Engineers understand electricity best. Pretty simple. I tend to believe what I learn from them and how it may or may not affect sound quality. Especially ones with no agendas, hidden or otherwise. Guys like @kijanki for example.

 

Also a video about how electricity works is fine but how a particular product works or not is a different thing. Its not a purely subjective thing. Research is NOT subjective. There is either data to support a conclusion or not. Otherwise its a leap of faith. Synergistic Leap of Faith....does not have a good ring to it eh? Does it sound good or better? 100% totally subjective. Not that there is anything wrong with that.... Except when it is the mantra of a company with "Research" in its name, perhaps.

Just saying. PEople buy lots of things just because. That’s their choice. High end audio ain’t no sanctuary holier than the rest. Same thing. PEople sell and people buy for whatever reasons they choose.    YMMV.

Any combination of the following.

1, Make your wallet lighter

2. Make your system sound better

3. make your system sound worse

4. Do nothing but look cool

5. Make you take a trip to the Post Office to return them.

Kidding. Ted should explain.
