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 have been a critic of the SR fuses because they blew in my system.  I have SR HFT's in my system and they provided a positive sonic improvement.  I will not judge the new discs until I try them.  If I like them they will stay, if not they will go.  As simple as that.

And THAT my friend is a very rational decision!

 

Also, deciding not to try them at all may also be very rational too. Coming here and throwing a tantrum (like some) on something that may be of zero interest to you, it’s very emotional. To say the least.

goose,

If you don't like them, I'll buy them from you!

It never ceases to amuse me how some of you are so vehemently negative towards something you have no experience with, and how others spend their money.

I am amused by the negativity as well. They are the guys that always have an opinion whether you ask it or not. Its a wonder anybody has made it this far in life without their guidance and wisdom.

I wonder if they also dictate to luthier’s on how they build musical instruments? Hell I just listen to music, I can’t sing myself, but I know what I like.
