Anyone else looking to try these, when they are available?


I have had good results with the ECTs they are replacing (as well as the purple fuses & MiG 2.0s), and am looking forward to trying them.

They are available, just ordered mine. I'll post my impressions when I get them and put in some listening time.

tvad,

I see you have some nice Audio Note gear. I am a big fan, and have a DAC Kit 1.1, along with a pair of E/Ls. I aspire to upgrade to a current Level 3 setup.

Thank you! I have some new AN amps ordered, so my Conquest Silvers will be available through my dealer. I have found AN amps are perfectly paired with AN speakers. I have tried a dozen alternative amplifiers and none quite matched up as well, although I did audition a USA parallel SET amplifier that did very well on my Es.

Send me a PM if you’d like more info. I don’t want to sidetrack your SR thread.

I will be ordering them this evening. What the heck no risk with the 30 day return privilege.

Nice to have a place to post about tweaks in a forum that you do not get jumped in.

New Synergistic Product: Tuning Discs


tommylion,
Hello there!

Here is what I posted on Audiogon that got deleted.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________

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!

I know, I know, I was skeptical too. But these little buggers are impressive. So much so that they may transform the high-end cable business, they're that good.

Ken,

There are too many reasons as to why the thread was closed.
It is not relevant to the other members. They do not need to know the reason.

Ken,

I'm afraid it's not my decision.

Best I can determine is 2 reasons.

1. It looks like Audiogon has been taken over by the looneys who want to argue about everything until the thread gets removed.

2. Plus, I think Audiogon wants advertising money, not someone like me promoting a new product that can be bought through other means than Audiogons classified.

Thanks, there needs to be some updating in the classified section to compete with Audiogon but otherwise I'm gonna give this site a chance.
BTW, where is grannyring?

ozzy - Did you put these on the connector or on the cable itself?
