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.

So soon after I received the couple purple and gold dots, I asked SR if I could get a couple more to experiment with other equipment and combos. Today, to my surprise I did get a couple more to try. So, first off, I found that placement is important. Sometimes the purple works better but other times the gold is better. It really depends on the equipment. I also tried adding a couple more to my 3m long interconnects, but I did not like it, the sound became too closed in. Perhaps too much of a good thing? Then I tried them on power cords and there again, I also got mixed results. So, I will have a lot more experimenting to do. At the moment, I like the gold on my interconnects and the purple on my speaker cables. I guess the important thing is to try both the purple and gold and don't settle on one type too soon. ozzy |
