Synergistic Research HFT + FEQ


I heard this tweak at RMAF and brought it home on a 30-day free trial. Unfortunately it turned out to be a real system killer. I had 20 of the HFTs and tried them with and without the FEQ, using a ladder to put them up and take them down repeatedly. I couldn't believe how awful it was. Made it hard to enjoy my otherwise excellent ~$45k system.

I had a similar experience with their Quantum fuse. Never did trust anything with "Quantum" in the title. HiFi Tuning Supreme fuses, on the other hand, made my amps sound significantly better.

In response to AUGWEST concerning HFT accoustic treatments
My system is superb with alot more $$$ invested.
I found a tremendous improvement especially in the soundstage.
Of course, I made sure I contacted the manufacturer to get the info about placement.
Also, when I bought the HFT treatment I was made aware that if I was unhappy they could be returned.
Honestly, it sounds that AUGWEST might have some agenda.

Augwest, I assume these are the little unit that went behind the system and the resonators that stuck on the Bose radio. I certainly heard their effect but really could say nothing as the Bose still sounded awful.

I certainly do not share your opinion on the Quantum fuses, however, I have them in everything with a fuse. I think the key to them is the quantum tunneling.

I suppose like most everything in audio, we have so many choices and so few opportunities to hear them compared that our likes are idiosyncratic judges.
