Synergistic Research PHT - Phono Transducer

Just to say there are others who perceive no difference, with vs without their PHTs. If you are really curious, it is my understanding that Synergistic offers a free home trial. "Free" in the sense that after you pay for the PHT, you have the right to return it for full refund within a specified time interval. I should think that such a using one's own system and ears would trump a collection of opinions you might get here from total strangers.

For me, the question has been one of mechanism. How does the PHT work, assuming it does work? If it's just affecting resonance at the headshell, then there are cheaper solutions.

I tried these and was pretty amazed at the improvement. It was not subtle at all in my system. I kept them and never looked back.

Do they do what they do forever. In other words
if you put them in storage for a couple of years
does the technology or process still work. I'm
tempted to try them I mean what have I got to
lose. Do you have to readjust your settings on
your tone arm.

Qdrone, As I understand it, the "functional" unit of the PHT is a crystal that probably has been lying around in nature for eons. So, if it works, it probably works forever. Obviously, you may have to re-adjust the VTF of your tonearm to accommodate the added weight of the PHT sitting on the headshell. Supposedly, the weight is trivial.

Lewm thanks for the info.
