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.

                                       A BIG +1, for this post:

     "If you haven't tried a product, why would we ever care what you think about it?

     I thought this place was to share knowledge about the gear and music we've listened to in our systems.

                                              Am I wrong?"

The really strange ones are those who keep trying to convince people that they don't hear what they hear!🙄

     The cult of the Naysayer Doctrine, wants you to accept their revelations, by faith (ie: YOUR senses and mental faculties are worthless and deceitful).

     You MUST follow their precepts, or- be eternally DAMNED to partake of their (seemingly) inexhaustible and ubiquitous fountain of misinformed/uneducated, faith-based, hubris-salted, BLATHER (Dunning-Kruger, at it's finest).

                                            Happy listening!

If it produces the desired results, yes. 

These “contrarians” who poo-poo the efficacy of expensive tweaks, cables (and any audio product for that matter) often appear in many other forums, threads, audio groups, questioning the merits of expensive audio products.  They are either disgruntled with their lot in life (e.g. a spouse who wears the proverbial pants, a wallet that squeaks so loud they hate to open it, etc.) or their skills of self-persuasion require constant exercising with selfish expectations of indulgence on our part. 

Not having a fact-based opinion because it's foreclosed by those circumstances, however, doesn't prevent them from expressing their frustration-based comments.

It's not about whether they can or cannot afford to pay more.  Hobbyists who operate within a prescribed budget are quite content with value-based high performance systems and work diligently to accomplish that end. They bear no grudge against those who chose to spend more.
