Anyone try Synergistic Research PHT...

transducers on their cartridge/headshell? Wondering if this really improves sound, and which type do you use. Thanks.

If you can arrange a "free home trial", it seems a reasonable thing to try. But I don't know any scientific evidence that supports the theory, such as it is, behind these devices. This makes me a skeptic. Some of the claims are so excessive as to be beyond my belief. Listener bias is huge, once one has paid good money for a tweak.

However I do have and use SR. products. I have read a few comments on these and so far none of the skeptics have actually used them. The PHT and most other SR. products come with a 30 day money back period. The way I see it the only thing you have to loose is your bias.
