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.

@ozzy when using the Carbon Tuning Discs on your speaker cables, try them at the end of the speaker cable just before the Y going to your speakers. Interesting and different from what works best with Interconnects.

@ericsch yes really 😊 they are the Carbon Fibre UEF Tuning Discs I developed to elevate our new Atmosphere SX cable loom, among other improvements.

I’m in a generous mood today so I’ll give you this hint as to how they work.

@simguy place the discs at rhe beginning of cables– ic, sc, dig, pc. Also transformers, caps, on the screw between two electrical outlets, between a bank of tubes– no need to treat all tubes, the application list goes on and on but usually no more than one or two per component.

Thank you @mesonto. The people who don’t like my products usually don’t understand electricity. They have a late 1800s view that it’s electrons flowing down a pipe, think water. Or, “how can the last 5 feet of a power cord blah blah blah.” They just don’t understand electricity, and they’re very angry and insistent in their misunderstandings.

@ozzy it is also possible to place a second disc in the middle of a cable, especially long run interconnects.

*Carbon fiber which in this instance acts to increase the EM interaction between the UEF disc and the EM field of whatever it is you are interacting with. In the past we have used aluminum for another UEF disc working in the acoustic realm, but for this application, carbon fiber proved by far the most effective material.

@tommylion The new Carbon Tuning Discs are orders of magnitude more powerful than the now outgoing ECTs. We are really glad you enjoy the ECTs, I hope you and everyone else who own them will continue to enjoy them even though we have finally developed a technology to surpass their benchmark. It only took us five years lol

@tommylion yes you can use them inside components, CPU’s or adjacent are effective locations as are transformers, and or a crowded ground point; but don’t over do it. You can even combine a Purple with a Gold disc at two of these locations inside a single component to good effect.

@willgolf  Carbon Tuning Discs are placed in a
circuit, on cables, or on components to interact
with their electromagnetic fields to improve sound
quality. There are two variants, Purple and Gold.
Purple is more holographic and airy while Gold
sounds richer, warmer and more liquid. In most
systems you will find optimal applications for both.

Carbon Tuning Discs will be sold with a 30-day no-risk money back guarantee (if not damaged.) It will be possible for anyone to try them and take up to 30 days to decide.

Thanks for the reply. Can the discs be used inside components like the ECTs? I believe CF is conductive, hence the question.

 

@tommylion I am reluctant to use the aluminum ECTs in areas that can short despite them being anodized. Yes, do not place Carbon Tuning Discs where they will short a circuit. even though they are clearcoated, I would not take the chance. This will be covered in detail with the instructions. BTW are finding that not only do they work extremely well on cables and components, but also the dedicated router in our system. This application made a huge difference yesterday when I was voicing a new rack.

Guys out of respect for AudiogoN I will be commenting as little as possible going forward. I do not want to jeopardize @ozzy’s thread.

@jerryg123 for the record I did not “take a shot” at a nice guy on the spectrum. I responded to an abusive objectivist who was attacking me nonstop on Audiophiles North America on Facebook. The hit piece you referenced was compiled completely out of context. The same guy you are defending physically attacked me at the last AXPONA where police were called and security escorted him out of the building. I forget the guys name, but if I must I’ll find it. He’s notorious and on par with his internet buddy Ethan Weiner.
