I've got these Black Discus discs I got from Mad Scientist Audio in New Zealand about 10 years ago that seem to do something similar when placed in similar locations.
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.

*Carbon fiber which in this instance acts to increase the EM interaction between the UEF disc and the EM field of whatever it is you are interacting with. In the past we have used aluminum for another UEF disc working in the acoustic realm, but for this application, carbon fiber proved by far the most effective material.

Why does that interacting with the EM field make for better sound? Because it can? Also carbon fiber cannot cost much so one would expect price to reflect that. One might try a lump of coal or two and see what happens. Inexpensive if it works so you can add as much as you want cost effectively. @mahgister could probably advise well regarding what materials work best and most cost effectively. |
