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.

Thanks,

It came from an email showing it as a new product. Probably many did who sign up for the newsletter.

So what is fair pricing and who determines what is fair?

Fair is what ever the market will accept.

If you do not accept the price......

my issue isn't the products, my issue is the pricing

bet these things come in between $200-$500 

We will never have fair pricing in audio

Actually, the price to pay for a product should be considered against the audio sound increase. Price to performance ratio?

I can guarantee you all one thing: The price to pay for serious audio equipment will never be determined by the buyer--despite the fervent wishes of nearly everyone on this site.

Part of being an audiophile is knowing something about what’s going on inside the gear. Hence, the knowledge that a resistor costs pennies, etc., can lead to mistaken conclusions about the entire design and fabrication process. If the price is too high, sales will lag and you will be able to buy it in 2 years at what you consider a "fair" price.

Personally, I have no problem finding enough affordable upgrades to satisfy me and totally frustrate my partner--and bank account.
