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.

rocray, sorry, I thought I answered that question. Only one dot per interconnect, so 2 of them for a pair of interconnects. I have them placed at the source end. And in my case since I am running direct from Lumin X1 to my mono amps that is all I need.

At the speaker end, I have one per speaker cable so 2 more. So, a total of 4.

If you have more interconnects you can experience, I guess, by adding additional dots to each of them at the output point.

Is there a "for sale" date set?

As jazzed as I am with the SR Purple fuses, I’m eager to give these Tuning Discs a try.

Thanks for the response @ozzy.  They sound very interesting.   I’m a firm believer in everything matters. 

Ted, I actually think it sounds better with the dots on the speaker cables at the amplifier end. Sounds more open to me.

gita, I think these will be released next week, but Ted will have to answer that.

Are we sure there are four dots per package? Two purple and two gold dots for a cost of $199? This sounds like too good to be true
