Like Synergistic Research's other UEF-based products, it's intended to lower noise floor, increase resolution, and improve bass extension, air, and soundstaging. PHT is available in two variants: Type I (Black Widow), voiced for an ethereal, lush, holographic presentation, and Type S (Green Dream), voiced for a focused, precise, and musical presentation. It ships with a 30-day, no-risk money-back guarantee. As an authorized Synergistic Research dealer in Toronto, Canada, Vinyl Sound can help you choose between Black Widow and Green Dream for your cartridge and system — compatible with turntables such as our \u003ca href=\"\/products\/rega-planar-3-turntable\"\u003eRega Planar 3\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"\/products\/dr-feickert-blackbird-turntable\"\u003eDr. Feickert Blackbird\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0116\/1773\/0617\/files\/PHTGreenOnPhonoeditedBW2.jpg?v=1783480850\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eVariants\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType I — Black Widow:\u003c\/strong\u003e voiced for an ethereal, lush, and holographic presentation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType S — Green Dream:\u003c\/strong\u003e voiced for a focused, precise, and musical presentation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApplies directly to a phono cartridge or headshell — no cartridge replacement needed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo selectable voicings: Black Widow (Type I) or Green Dream (Type S)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSold per pair\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e30-day, no-risk money-back guarantee\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePress \u0026amp; Reviews\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"...adding that blue PHT produced an ear-popping, Cinerama-like, wraparound soundstage, and an overall sound even less tethered to the speaker positions. The image focus was increased without producing razor sharpness, and there was greater front-to-back separation of sources within the soundstage... It still sounded great, but with the blue PHT in place the sound was clearly better overall, with improved focus, three-dimensionality, and transparency.\"\u003cbr\u003e— Michael Fremer, \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.stereophile.com\/content\/synergistic-research-pht\"\u003eStereophile\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0116\/1773\/0617\/files\/PHTPlacementInstructions.jpg?v=1783480850\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePHT FAQ\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I install a PHT?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA PHT is applied directly on top of your phono cartridge or headshell — no changes to the cartridge itself are required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's the difference between Black Widow and Green Dream?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBlack Widow (Type I) is voiced for an ethereal, lush, holographic presentation.
