Anyone try Synergistic Research PHT...

I have read several glowing subjective "reviews" of this item, and I will predict that you will be swamped with similar. If you can arrange a "free home trial", it seems a reasonable thing to try. But I don't know any scientific evidence that supports the theory, such as it is, behind these devices. This makes me a skeptic. Some of the claims are so excessive as to be beyond my belief. Listener bias is huge, once one has paid good money for a tweak.

Beautifully stated, Lewm.

I do not have a turntable so I won't be able to comment on the performance of the pht. However I do have and use SR. products. I have read a few comments on these and so far none of the skeptics have actually used them. The PHT and most other SR. products come with a 30 day money back period. The way I see it the only thing you have to loose is your bias.

The only problem with that quote of the year is you don't have any evidence to back it up. Now, if you are looking for examples of the opposite, you'll have no problem finding them right here on Audiogon. People are always complaining that they overpaid for something that doesn't make any difference at all.
