| $1,500 upgrade budget/what would you do? Treat yourself and the room! Try five boxes of the Synergistic Research HFT tunning bullets. The improvement in imaging and sound quality will be a best bang for the buck. Plus they come with a thirty day trial, are easy to install, and if you do ... | |
| Synergistic Research HFT + FEQ I have two different rooms treated with the Synergistic Research HFT (High Frequency Tuning System). With one pack of 5 tuning bullets you will hear a change in soundstage. The system really begins to shine with 15 HFT bullets in place (three boxe... | |
| Synergistic Research - NEW Element Cables My primary system uses both Synergistic Research Arts System and the HFT + FEQ System. Together they simply make the room- speaker interaction wonderful. They work in different ways and so having the two systems is not redundent. Highly satisfied. | |
| Vendor war stories . . . good ones that is . . . Times have changed but there are still some companies where you interact with people and not corporate policies. These are the companies I interact and buy from. I also think this is why it is imperative to go to the regional audio conventions. Me... | |
| Black Discus - Free Sample Alert Ozzy how can the Black Discus be pricey when what you are using were free!. Two medium size discs are $80.00 including shipping from New Zealand. The bigger the disc the greater the effect. On my audio system the two free sample discs placed on th... | |
| Can a tiny silver bowl affect music reproduction Tbg, Thank you for the correction. I have installed the Synergistic Research HFT + FEQ system and I am happy with the sonic gains made. Especially for those looking for a simpler way of improving room sonics, I found this to be a good choice. I am... | |
| Can a tiny silver bowl affect music reproduction Salectric. Your post demonstrates what a small world it is. Like Tbg I have listened to the Zilplex and Synergistic Research Acoustic Arts system. I do not think Tbg auditioned the "full" Arts System. However he is using a full Ziplex system, and ... | |
| Acoustic Room Treatment – any simple solutions? I have used the GIK Acoustic approach to improving room acoustics. They are good people to work with, the products work, but I think there is a much better approach. Especially in your situation of treating two different rooms. I would use the Syn... | |
| Wire for new Equi=Tech7.5WQ sub-panel Buy whatever wire you want and then send it to Cryogenics International, Scottsdale, Arizona to be cryo'ed at $9.00 a pound. They wave treated multiple cables for me. | |
| Synergistic Research HFT + FEQ Especially for non-symetric rooms, the Synergistic Research HFT+ Frequency Equalizer can be a major system improvement. Where I do not have walls to put the HRT's where recommended: I made stands using Home Depot 1x2 by 8 foot pieces of wood attac... | |
| Synergistic Research HFT + FEQ In the above post Glory mentioned "the Energizers". These are the IPC Acoustic Energizers. They received a glowing review in Stereo Times this year. I in fact bought the five Acoustic Energizers that Glory previously owned. They emit some type of ... | |
| Synergistic Research HFT + FEQ Yes, even 5 HRT units will improve the sound. As more units are placed the sound becomes more detailed but with less fatigue and with a much more satisfying sound stage. Most rooms are optimized with 20 to 25 units. The Frequency Equalizer (FEQ) s... | |
| Synergistic Research - NEW Element Cables I have now installed the Synergistic Research HFT + Frequency Equalizer in two different systems that are in different rooms. The improvement is remarkable and after 6 weeks of listening still imensely enjoyable. Now that Synergistic Research has ... | |
| Synergistic Research HFT- Frequency Energizer Syst Nice observation concerning the anti static treatment. Not having any Staticaster lying around, I decided to use my Orb antistatic hand held device ( these are great for treating vinyl and they also manufacture the type Furotech sells). A 5 second... | |
| How does relative humidity affect our music? Many house experts warn against raising the humidity above 40% in the winter so one does not develop a mold problem. My system sound best when I keep the humidity 35-40% and I use a humudistat to measure the level. |
