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 find this statement ridiculous. As I have used a number of SR products in systems past and present. These systems were made up of such brands as Moon by Simaudio, McIntosh, Pathos, AR, Gold Note, Bel Canto, Raven, PL, Sonus faber, ..... think you get the gist and the SR products did not make a change for the better or worse in my systems at the time.

Not saying they do not work just I did not hear the benefit. Now maybe a system of mid to lo-fi gear would benefit more?

I am sure Ted will weigh in but I think the old line of your system is not revealing enough is stereotypical response.

Just my opinion no rub on Ted or SR products at all.

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

 

Give 'em a try...

For Information: This entire thread was actually taken down yesterday. I had to request Audiogon to reinstate it.

So, we need to be courteous of each other. Its ok to ask questions, heck it's a new product. But don't get personal and keep the comments to this product. Hopefully soon, others can comment on their actual experience, as I have.

I vaguely recall you mentioning which SR products were in use. Can you please remind us readers which specific ones?

Have confirmed that the discs will be sold in a pack of 2 purple and 2 gold (Ozzy, I assume this is what you have?). Excellent news, I was thinking I might have to buy 2 packs to try both🙂
