QSA Power Jitter Power Conditioner, anyone tried it?



I’ve got a Yellow one on order. Has anyone else tried it? I have the QSA stones in several places in my system. I tried the light blue fuses, and liked them, but ended up replacing them with the SR purples. This Power Jitter seems like a good way for someone who is is open to these kind of tweaks, but doesn’t want to mess around with fuses, to try QSA.

Yes, clearly QSA didn’t make these from scratch, they took an already existing item and added their special sauce. How is that relevant to what the final product does, or doesn’t, do in the context of one’s own system?

Unfortunately the negative nellies are out in force as usual with tweaks. What bothers me is these individuals don’t even bother to try what they put down. Maybe their systems or ears just don’t make the grade so they wouldn’t discern any differences no matter how good a product is but more than likely they get a kick putting people down who are willing to use their ears and their brains.

Having said that, tommylion nailed it. I tried a yellow and was intrigued enough by what it did to try the red. The yellow went into a second system. The red really kicked everything up a notch.  As tommylion stated the bass got  deeper and tighter. The soundstage got bigger and I heard details I didn’t know were in a some recordings. I was so impressed I traded the red in for a red/black. It has only been in the system a couple of days so I will wait before commenting.

All three units were plugged directly into the outlet that feeds my Synergistic Research power conditioner which feeds my 2 channel system.

There is nothing impressive looking about these QSA units but they sure do make a positive difference. 

I am really interested to hear your thoughts on the black/red.  Tweak Geeks told me it would be better to buy the B/R jitter plug than a b/r fuse.  Obviously, it can affect more components.  

@willgolf I am planning a listening session this afternoon and will post my findings later today or tomorrow.

OK ,I just finished a wonderful 5. + hour listening session.  The red/black may still require some additional break in time but I think I heard enough to post some impressions. First it isn’t a Quantum Leap(bad pun intended) from the red to the red/black as it was when going from the yellow to the red. The yellow is a bargain but performance wise so is the red. The red/black adds to the strengths of the red. The red might be the sweet spot in this lineup but I am sticking with the red/black. If you are wondering why, it is because it gives me a little bit more of what I am looking for from my system. Yes,it is double the price but for me it is worth it. I believe the Tweek Geek allows a 30 day trial so if you are on the fence try both.
