This forum and many of you have helped me tremendously. I had been out of the hobby for sometime and when I was able to come back so much had changed. Less audio stores, YouTube reviews ect. Many of you steered me away from decisions that I am sure I would of regretted. In my younger days I was all about tweaks. Shameful to admit but I bought some green marker that you put on the side of cds lol. Literally it was a marker. I should of thought “if it makes a big difference why doesn’t recording companies just darken the sides.” Not suggesting that this is the same type of product. However, the one thing you guys taught me was to spend my money where I would get the most enjoyment. This is subjective, I know but your general advice was something like “save money on x and go buy some nice recordings.” I still have to many recordings I would like to buy, so for me to spend money on tweaks, does not make sense. Everyone has different priorities, this I also learned in life and here. I will admit although it was not intended to be a product plug at the end of reading all the comments it felt like one. Just my 2 cents.
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.
