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.

 Hi Ozzy,

 I appreciate your review. You have always told it how it is in the years I have been reading your post.

  I have one question for either you or Ted. Is there any specific spot on the cable to place these tuning disc and are 2 required per cable ?

  I have had excellent results with Synergistic products,  purple fuses and most recently Tranquility pods trying the pods in my system with no obligation. 

 Ozzy,

  Keep this topic here. I am glad I saw it. I actually try things before forming an opinion. My dealer is going to let me try these once they come in.

 Speaking of keeping an open mind when I was picking up some Vicoustic  acoustic treatments the dealer who also sells Synergistic asked if I wanted to try a Tranquility pod.

   I had never heard of one at the time but said sure , why not. Bought the 1st one after demoing it in my system. A few weeks later I asked for another one to try for the trial period. That one too made a vast difference also.

  I have a 3rd one coming this week for another trial period. Moral of this is to keep an open mind, you just might improve your system and get even more enjoyment out of it.

  When I first saw the Tranquility pod at the dealers shop I had my doubts, boy was I wrong.
