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.

I guess if I could explain how they work, I could make my own! Don’t begrudge someone from a making a profit on their ideas. We all would like to. Yes?

I doubt if you fellows would hear the difference even if your ears could, you have made up your mind. Too bad though, you’re missing out on some of the fun of this hobby.

"I don't understand it, therefore it cannot work, therefore I won't try it."

You might apply this logic to your own thinking, but with a twist... How about, "I don't understand it, therefore it must work". That better?

You will note that I asked a direct question, how do these discs work? And received an insult as a reply. I think that about sums it up. Spooky magic.

You are free to believe whatever you want, even if you have no understanding of what you are doing, and could not tell whether or not the tweak was even in your system or not-- as I have asserted.

Still waiting for someone to take me up on my bet...
