SR Tuning Discs, Psychoacoustic Bias and Listening Fatigue
I am sorry I used the term snake oil at this point in the discussion. But I DID acknowledge clearly more than once that just because I don’t hear it doesn’t mean it’s universally true for everyone.

SR Tuning Discs, Psychoacoustic Bias and Listening Fatigue
Yes. Understood. Thanks. I am open minded, despite that I don’t sound that way with these SR discs. Couldn’t help but poke a little fun at the whole “just use the sticky putty to affix the Tuning Disc to your [fancy] cable” thing. 😁. As a dedicate...

And I don’t want to mock. I really don’t. So I did take the task seriously and really really tried to hear a benefit. But didn’t. Either straight signal or with a high end studio analog mastering EQ with W shaped curve in signal path.   That doesn...

Funny, yes…not nearly as funny as the notion of taking a tiny carbon disk, well less than the diameter of dime, and affixing it with sticky putty to a nice cable to confer an audible benefit.  I honestly tried though over days to hear a benefit. J...

I am open to negative bias. That’s why since initially posting I’ve checked over serial days a few times. Same results. Trust me, I was very open minded to a change being heard. I certainly hear not subtle differences between two digital coaxial c...

Tried them as part of the cable loaner program with The Cable Company. Didn’t buy.

Oh I am already well accustomed to this jungle!

@coralkong , just was sharing my experience and my method. I recommend instead of getting upset just take what I said with a grain of salt.

My gear is Bryson B135 SST2 Integrated Amp with respectable onboard DAC (see Mike Lavorgna of Twittering Machines comments), Auralic Aries Dual Femto streamer connected to integrated with Shunyata Theta digital cable, Martin Logan Montage with Tra... 
Equalizer in a Hi Fi system
Yes, agreed to all. But I love having hi fi tone controls. I have learned in my experimentation with many different pro EQ’s that some certainly are more appropriate in post production playback than others. I think the less complex EQ coupled with... 
Equalizer in a Hi Fi system
Ok yes. I understand. Makes sense.   
Equalizer in a Hi Fi system
My speakers cross over at 2.5 kHz. Dipole tweeters to midrange woofers. I only use a pro analog EQ for tone control. Did you mean somehow an equalizer built into the speakers?  I’m confused.

Having looked now at both manuals, it appears the Trinnov is easier to use and understand. It’s considerably pricier but with that SHOULD come better results sonically. Within the next year or less, I will buy and try a Trinnov Amethyst.
