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.

Hello and thanks for this thread. 

I know it may be hard to quantify, but can you compare these new tuning discs to the effects of the Purple fuse? I have two of the Purples and find them to enhance the entire audio checklist, particularly in terms of cleaning up and extending the high frequencies. 

Are the discs as impactful as the fuses?

Sorry to put you on the spot. Thanks again.

gita,

I also own the purple fuses and the QSA red fuses for that matter.

I think these tuning discs will give you more bang for the money. It is an instant result, not something you have to let burn in or listen carefully to tell if it is doing something.

It is amazing to me that something so small can do so much. But it does in my system. I guess that is what prompted me to post this thread.
