I though audiophiles like clean simple signal paths? Is mucking with the EM field a good thing?
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.

Doesn’t matter. Perception based on what you read is all one has on a forum like this. Does not have to be accurate. Perceptions are all people have in many cases so they matter. If perceptions are not accurate the blame may lie on either or both sides. One can only address it themselves if they care. |
IT’s OK to promote products for free on hifi forums if the rules permit which they seem to do here. Not OK to try to censor responses or tell people what to do or not. Just saying. Take the bad with the good else buy an ad where nobody can protest. Transparency and responding clearly, directly and politely to all questions helps. Just the facts maam.... |
Why does that interacting with the EM field make for better sound? Because it can? Also carbon fiber cannot cost much so one would expect price to reflect that. One might try a lump of coal or two and see what happens. Inexpensive if it works so you can add as much as you want cost effectively. @mahgister could probably advise well regarding what materials work best and most cost effectively. |
Electrical Engineers understand electricity best. Pretty simple. I tend to believe what I learn from them and how it may or may not affect sound quality. Especially ones with no agendas, hidden or otherwise. Guys like @kijanki for example.
Also a video about how electricity works is fine but how a particular product works or not is a different thing. Its not a purely subjective thing. Research is NOT subjective. There is either data to support a conclusion or not. Otherwise its a leap of faith. Synergistic Leap of Faith....does not have a good ring to it eh? Does it sound good or better? 100% totally subjective. Not that there is anything wrong with that.... Except when it is the mantra of a company with "Research" in its name, perhaps. Just saying. PEople buy lots of things just because. That’s their choice. High end audio ain’t no sanctuary holier than the rest. Same thing. PEople sell and people buy for whatever reasons they choose. YMMV. |
