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.

It’s a disease. Mental disorder. Called Good Samaritan Syndrome.. chronic hero syndrome. Or savior complex disorder. Many people in the audio forums suffer from these. I had no idea they existed until I started frequenting these forums. It’s so sad

One of the reasons I come here to read about gear, is to find out about products I might not otherwise considered trying, and see what peoples real world experiences are with them. 
A thoughtful write up as to somethings effectiveness, or lack thereof, is of great value. 
People calling BS on something they have not tried is of zero value whatsoever.

If the designer of the product participates in the discussion and answers questions even better.

If the rules were such that no manufacturer could chime in when one of their products is being discussed or criticized, then we would miss out on a lot of valuable insight. 

I wish more manufacturers would participate here, but given all the vitriol thrown about here about certain products, kinda understand why they don’t. 
 

Remember, they design it. We, just plug it in…

You know, many manufactures of audio gear were once DIY’s who shared their new gear with fellow members on sites just like this one and as word spread they had an opportunity to go to an audio show and got some orders, became entrepreneurs and the rest as they say is history. They are actually just like us. Someone with an idea, a multimeter, scope and a soldering gun. If Ted’s stuff didn’t work, we all wouldn’t be here, would we?

 

 

Some will call it jealousy but I dislike people getting rich selling tomfoolery.
