New Synergistic Product: Tuning Discs

Awww Bless … perhaps I need to repeat what I posted earlier for your understanding …

” I have been a member here since Aug 22, 2007 and have seen a number of passive aggressive posting style blowhards come and go in my time. “

Thank you for making my point so succinctly 

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

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

You can stick as many labels on me as you want though! Makes my blood flow better!  Also they are free.

Was that GAS or just you Mr tsushima1?

That’s Mr. olhvymec to you and your CRAP attitude. Please leave the site and don’t come back. I really don’t like you or your underhanded buddies..

jassonbourne52 has no hidden agenda he is just hard headed. At least he has enough sense (since cents) to say what he thinks with the hidden BS. I could almost admire george too, if he didn’t cost other people revenue behind his screw ball antics.

You, make most dislike you. That’s a dressing down if you don’t understand, you're a jerk.. Act with kindness and respect or LEAVE. QUIT talking about what you have not tried. Better yet, QUIT posting at all.

You are dismissed now, Go away kid you bother me!!

It was GAS.. ROMP..

Chapter 15 page 245 mid page. There will be a foot note at the bottom referring to you. AHole # 99. Full disclosure here!!

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😉

I do look forward for more of the Audiophiles on Audiogon trying them and posting impressions with actual listening experience.

I am always amazed at the creativity of some of the companies in the Audiophile land. They are entitled to make a profit for a good idea/product. The small cost for such an increase in performance is remarkable.

Thank you, Synergistic Research and all the others who work outside the box...to advance this hobby.

I wasn’t being snarky, i would hazard a guess, nobody on audiogon has more direct experience with CFRP dating back to the now ancient B2 up thru 7-x. I could comment on emi, emf, lightning strike, emp, etc..but you would have to shoot me….

I am always amused by some of the visceral responses when a new product appears. I think many of us on this forum let their ears do the deciding and don’t dismiss something out of hand just because it’s something new or innovative. I am looking forward to this product hitting the market and comments from users

@jasonbourne52 I have … oh the irony.

No need to look any further gents, step right up. This here little shiny $300 hundred dollar digital device will dazzle and amaze! She is oh so dreamy … You know which box I’m referencing.

So, you’re either tone deaf, have been conned, or the one conning 😬😂

You never heard of the place. How about AA or NA, I'm just trying to figure out who you are, I know what you are just like jerry123. Both rather sad individuals that take cheap shots OVER and OVER. 

I stand by what I said you clowns need to go. I've outlast the whole friggin bunch of nitwits that have slithered through.. BTW without 15 name changes. I don't post under different names.

You and your buddies I'm working on, we'll see how this plays out. You're all worthless. 

I will say this I won't take the high road any more. You and your buddies are on my CRAP list.. 

We just got started, you were asked several time to quit being jerks. Now you get to play with me.. MC and Ted are NICE guys. I'm NOT..

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. 

*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.

carbon ;-) why not ?

I've got these Black Discus discs I got from Mad Scientist Audio in New Zealand about 10 years ago that seem to do something similar when placed in similar locations. 

Thanks Ozzy, looks very interesting...do we know when they will be available and price?...interesting how so many responders sound like they will be forced to buy these...  

I could tell you exactly how they work, but then I’d be telling my competitors exactly how to make them.

Ted they will figure it out.

Any combination of the following.

1, Make your wallet lighter

2. Make your system sound better

3. make your system sound worse

4. Do nothing but look cool

5. Make you take a trip to the Post Office to return them.

Kidding. Ted should explain.

I have never heard of tuning discs.  What are they and what do they do?

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.

This is a good video and have seen it before.

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.

Yours in music,

I think everyone is missing the big picture in this thread...

the "The Big Misconception About Electricity" if you watched the full video was fascinating. 

thanx Ted, I don't know if your product works or not, guess I would have to try it,  but the video was mind blowing.

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

Ted Denney III Synergistic Research Inc.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion.  Manners are always good. 

So, the question as to how many to use.

The discs are only placed at the sending end of the cable. So, for a pair of interconnects only 2 are needed.

Since I only have a couple of them, I have not been able to try them on both the interconnects and speaker cables at the same time.

But, at both the speaker cables output (at the amp end) and at the interconnects output (at the source end) they proved to be very beneficial. Perhaps too many of them would not be as good, but at this point I can't say.

A package of 4 should do a system. However, the tweaker that I am, I would also like to experiment with them on power cords and video when they do become available.

BTW, thank you for the support against the rabble rousers.

ozzy

@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.

Shades of the Combak, Marigo and other “tuning” dots/discs.  Not a new idea.  Never tried any so I have no opinion as to effectiveness.  

Skeptical am I. Hard to discern the ways of the Force. Just hoping it ain't the dark side. 

@coralkong You are NOT entitled to continuously disparage another member. 

Wrong forum.  This is Audiogon.

"And the silent majority think that Ted is a BS artist which he is. We need to transport him back to the old west and slap him on a soap box with a crate of aunt Tilly's magic elixir to sell. I have a crate of rotten tomatoes."

Your continued disparagement of not only a company's products (that you've never tried, mind you), but the person himself is both juvenile and alarming.

You're entitled to your opinion of a product, and you're entitled to share it. (Might want to try it first, though.) You are NOT entitled to continuously disparage another member. 

Your constant ridicule in this area cheapens any valid opinions you may have. Keep that in mind. It comes off as some kind of vendetta.

Don't like his products? Don't buy them. I would really like to see you become a member of your own perceived "silent majority".

Yup have tried several SR pieces and didn't work for me but glad others found them useful.

Stuff from SR may not work for all, I know they did not for me.

Ted is a wagon peddler for sure. 
I am not going question those who claim Ted’s stuff works in their system. 
 

Lots of "Hot Carl's" on here, lol. *shakes head*

Can these tuning disc be put on speaker cables as well ?

 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. 

I’ll end up trying these. Purple fuse upgraded my system like nothing I’ve heard before. These and the new High Fidelity goo…love the tweaks.

What is with all the Eeyore types on this site lately?

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

It's the AH crew, they have invaded, swat splat. SWAT SPLAT!

jasonbourn52 just has no sense of adventure or no one likes him enough to let him try a fuse, God forbid the Hocus Pocus dots from SR.. I don't think he is one of them. He is just hard headed, more granite than chalk HARD HARD. He's a 57s guy he has to be OK at least.

I got a feelin' he's not into skydiving either..:-)

Regards

It is easier to con someone than it is to get someone to admit being conned! Think about it!

Ozzy’s history and integrity are beyond reproach. Yet the Ted haters, schooled in their audioholic addiction, are already trying to impugn Ozzy’s integrity in order to get at Ted. It didn’t work before with other reviewers and it won’t work now. The silent majority are watching.

Your handle says it all…

Funny.

Not sure if this is comically sad or sadly comical.

@ozzy I appreciate your review and as @oldhvymec er (Lennie) Tell them about the bunnies George. Said they do offer a No Risk Money Back Guarantee and Scarface did not.

Well Scarface did but you would have a hard time getting a refund, he gave it to you in 9mm led.

I have used that MBG on every Synergistic product I have purchased. Stuff just is not for me but I will be open minded and might give these a whirl.
