New Synergistic Product: Tuning Discs

Correct Mad Scientist has similar products. I have had them for over a year now. Place them on cables using blue tak, tape or zip ties…etc…..

The MS paste was not effective but his donuts, bars and discs are somewhat effective in my particular system. Very slight.  Only the most resolving system and ears that care would notice it.  
 

These sound interesting. 

Buy some and test over 30 days. Surely you’re in tune with yourself and confident enough in your abilities to judge accurately for yourself over weeks. Right?

If you think you will dupe yourself due to the “placebo effect” over a 4 week period, then you really can’t just yourself to buy anything and correctly judge if it works better, tastes better, smells better, cleans better, makes you feel better and on and on…You should let others decide for you if you can’t trust yourself when making all manner of purchases.  

The mind is a powerful thing so just use it and decide for your self over time. Pretty simple. Yes, I bet you can make the right and true decision for your system and ears.

I questioned your thought process and the fact that one only has to “prove” the worth of a tweak to themselves, not to you or anyone else. I do feel humans are capable of making good buying decisions without always, or even mostly, being influenced by placebo and other supposed mental plagues on humanity.

No need to try and prove something to you when in the end it seems all of our reasoning falls short of truth according you your hypothesis. Even blind testing will have “effects” so I just trust my ears and emotional connection to the music over time with my upgrades and tweaks. They will inform me correctly over time. Goodness, if they don’t, then we are all doomed 😬.  I may need a purchasing life coach! 

There are some other great Audiophile forums. I, like many other long time posters here, will be opting out of Agon very soon as this is no longer a good place to learn from others and their experiences. I want to share my experiences, but this is also no longer an enjoyable experience. Too many trouble makers not interested in sharing actual experiences, but just want to be negative. WBF is a great place to hear from audiophiles who actually care and are open minded. I look forward to growing and enjoying the conversations there. I’m afraid this forum is too far gone for hope now. Sad really, but I enjoy this hobby too much to just go at it solo and look forward to conversing in an enjoyable forum.

This forum has gone from enjoyable to stressful.  I stay off of social media for this very reason.  Seems the “stress” has now overtaken my once enjoyable hobby outlet.
