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.

In my quite lengthy experience, SR products are the real deal if your system is good enough.

 

Give 'em a try...

So after reading this thread I do not know the difference between the two colors.  Can Ted please explain the differences and if they are used in different applications?

I already used carbon based shungite from Russia with copper and quartz all along my electrical line...For many years at low cost...I am proud to say that this is my own homade experiments...

I dont pretend my "golden plates" best this product at all, i dont know, but at least is less expansive and work for me...

i had no problem with this company synergistic products at all but the boss treat me like shit when i wanted to discuss in one of his seller thread...i was menacing his trade it seems in his head...I like to discuss unlike this guy....

And anyway my acoustic method is superior to any electronic equalisation or electronic tuning... AT NO COST...

By the way i dont think coal will be usefull...But any minerals , any of them affect the S.Q. put on some point near the audio system but often negatively ... People are too lazy to experiment and prefer to throw money ....

Myself i already know that nothing best acoustic anyway even tweaks that work well and which i created or replicate...like my Shuman generators grid...

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.

 

 

without getting into the benefits of synergistic’s products (or lack thereof), it is always impressive to me when a manufacturer or their marketer/retailers offers true money back trial periods

i think synergistic does this, yes? i went to the site just now, for a quick look, could not find one clearly stated -- maybe i am missing it --  but i has somehow thought such a proper and generous return policy was indeed offered... maybe it is specific by product? not sure

perhaps ted can clarify

with such a return policy in place, critics should really hold their fire... if they haven’t tried, and a trial is so easy and available, why criticize?

But any minerals , any of them affect the S.Q.

mahgister, I have been using crystals in my listening rooms for over two decades now, and do not discuss it as it seems too fringe for most. Your research has paralleled mine in that I have found the results can often be negative. It took me years to find some sort of repeatable pattern in their usage. The impacts can be quite profound when applied intelligently.

I believe the mechanism at play is the one under discussion at present.
