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.

The issue with georgeshifi was he thought things should be free or inexpensive if he thought they should be. Period. He didn't care if a country fell apart, certain things should ONLY cost everyone, not someone, EVERYONE the same. Strangest way of thinkin' I've ever seen. Comrade Lenin would have been proud!

I personally love to let the "I know it all" kind of person spend all the money they want. They didn't ask me, besides they knew it all anyways.. 

I did order 4 Vicoustic Vari Bass Tunable Helmholtz Resonator though.. I know they work. :-)

So, I have now tried placing the tuning discs on the speaker cables at the amp end or at the speaker end.

Ted suggested placing these at the speaker end. I initially felt they sounded better at the amp end.

Today, I again placed them at the speaker end, and I think Ted is right they do sound more 3 dimensional in that direction with a more stable center image.

At the amp end they sounded more diffused perhaps that is why they seemed to have more air.

I still have the discs on the interconnects at the source end.

I’ve mentioned this before and actually flagged this thread as being advertising.

the real issue with georghifi was, in Ozziespeak, that he had a kangaroo or two loose in the top paddock - OCD fuelled by a strong NPD drove him to pasting basically the same hate fuelled post multiple times on any thread mentioning the word fuse; to the extent he was ultimately banned from this forum. However, in his own mind George was always convinced he was saving the world from the tyranny of exploitation.

Unfortunately George did not have exclusive ownership of NPD, nor the ability to post ongoing hate fuelled rants.

to me….anyway…the 30 day $, ¥£€ , etc back guarantee is a doubt / cognitive dissonance / confirmation bias..eraser… But then, most audiophiles don’t bother to level match…… so….read about hyperbole with caution….but always listen with an open mind and ears….
