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.

ted_denney,

ECTs have made nice improvements on my digital and IC cables. What do the new tuning discs do different/better than the ECTs?

One thing seems pretty clear from the naysayers’ posts; SR honors their money back guarantee. Good to know, if I ever need to use it. So far, though, they ain’t getting any of the stuff I’ve tried back😉

 

”Wow new product and already we have "naysayers"! New record!

How about we stick to talking about the product and NOT label people?”

 

Naysayers seems like a pretty apt, and polite, way to describe members who, whenever a new thread about certain products is started, are pretty much guaranteed to post dissing the product and company.

ted_denney,

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

On the webpage it says they will come in packs of 2 purple and 2 gold. Is that correct, I hope so?

Given my recent experience with the ECTs, I am eager to try these.

”Yes sir Mr. Denney SIR. We will post as little as possible on all of your threads.🙃”
 

Thanks, that will be wonderful!

It would be good if they are also available in single color packs, for those who have a clear preference for one or the other.

Have confirmed that the discs will be sold in a pack of 2 purple and 2 gold (Ozzy, I assume this is what you have?). Excellent news, I was thinking I might have to buy 2 packs to try both🙂

How about we trust each individual member to sort out for themselves what is good information vs. marketing, hype etc? I, for one, don’t need, and am not asking for, anyone else to do this for me. If something is really out of line and/or clearly violates forum rules, that’s what the moderators are for. Although we disagree (often passionately) about some things, we are all pretty intelligent people, who have been around the audio block a few times. Let’s treat each other that way.

wesheadly, tsushima1, gita et al,


You obviously consider those of us who hear clear improvements with tweaks like these fools, so why are you wasting your precious time arguing with fools?

Kindly move on.

“Theories have never proven or disproven anything. It’s INVARIABLY testing and experimentation that proves or disproves theories/hypotheses.”


Excellent point, very well said. I would add that this kind of testing and experimentation can be done anywhere by anyone. Not just in controlled, laboratory like circumstances and conditions.

The really strange ones are those who keep trying to convince people that they don't hear what they hear!🙄

“Is mucking with the EM field a good thing?”

 

If it produces the desired results, yes. 

“The only thing bizarre is when people get all defensive because someone said something out of line with their agenda.”


How do you determine what their agenda is, or that they actually have one? Often there’s no way to know for certain, so you can only make (more or less) educated guesses and/or assumptions.

“People can read.”

 

…and  people (including me) can read wrong…or more than what’s there.

I may have gotten different results than ozzy with some products, but I have no reason whatsoever to question his honesty or integrity.

I previously had a perception of Synergistic Research, and their products, which has changed significantly after trying several of them recently. I would go so far as to say my previous perception was wrong.
