WA-Quantum GmbH's Quantum Chips

Let's briefly review the bidding.

This is the blurb from one of the WA Quantum Chip dealers. While this blurb can be considered second hand information it matches the WA Quantum GmbH press release (that is quoted earlier in this thread. Nowhere is there any mention of vibration. While the information below (and in the press release) appears on the surface to be helpful it's loaded to the gills with generic, non-specific terms such as "efficiency of current flow and signal transmission," "bio-energetic chips," "synthetic material," and "subatomic Quantum level."

"In each case the Chip is mounted on an adhesive backing which can be attached to the device. The Chips are "programmed" for their specified applications. High tech manufacturer, WA-Quantum, from Berlin, Germany, introduced so-called bio-energetic chips for the audio/video market. These chips are in fact small pieces of a synthetic material, encased in what outwardly appears to be an adhesive-backed "sticker" that can be fixed to audio components and cables. WA-Quantum GmbH is a manufacturer of high technology products. Among their products are this line of "Chips" operating at a sub-atomic Quantum level, which improve the efficiency of current flow and signal transmission in audio devices including fuses, capacitors, phono cartridges and tonearms, transformers, transducers, and audio cabling. Special chips are also available for use with both electronic and acoustic musical instruments."

In the context of the efficiency of current flow and signal transmission and all that jazz certainly there must be another explanation for how the Chip for acoustic instruments operates.

Try the one for speakers on the wall behind the speakers or on the side walls 1st reflection..you have headphones. Speaker vibration and a acoustical instrument have many similarities. The walls are sympathetic to vibrations and pressure from a loudspeaker. Tom

Thanks for the tip, Theaudiotweak, and I hate to judge before all the facts are in but the evidence that I have presented appears to indicate that the chips do not operate as vibration dampers. If they did, wouldn't they be interchangeable? And wouldn't the manufacturer WA Quantum GmbH suggest the speaker chip be used on the wall (and thus sell more chips)?

So then the speaker magnet and its moving coil somehow modulate the material contained in the quantum chip? Then placement on the cabinet would change the affect of the chip and the chip may vary in attitude placed near or far from the moving coil. Or is placement close to the speaker inputs whats making for the audible reactance?
Has anyone out there heard a difference when placing the chip in different locations on their speaker cabinet? Tom

Has anyone tried any of these chips on a laptop?
