WA-Quantum GmbH's Quantum Chips

"Mapman, the blurb, "changes at a submolecular level" on the page you linked to appears to be nothing more than ad copy by VH Audio, a dealer for the chips. Has the actual WA Chip manufacturer revealed something you can sink your teeth into? Probably not. "

"WA-Quantum GMBH is a manufacturer of high technology products including a line of "Chips" operating at a subatomic 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. "

Still nothing to sink teeth into from either source. Even worse, it appears the dealer and maker are sending two different messages. Now I am even more confused. Did the dealer get it wrong somehow? Who knows?

I, apparently like others, would really like to understand how the product does what it does, but I am not holding my breath at this point personally. It is what it is, whatever it is?

a line of "Chips" operating at a subatomic Quantum level, which improve the efficiency of current flow and signal transmission

If it did this, wouldn't this technology be in every auto, plane, cell phone, communications satellite, space probe, computer, television, cell phone tower, etc.? Wouldn't dozens of industries be rushing to embrace this technology? Why are only audiophiles able to perceive the advantage?

I now have experimented some more chips on the SR Powercell 10SE-MK2....

1: A cable chip on the 32A plug.
2: A transformer chip on the back of Powercell body in the middle.
3: A transformer chip next to the DC active plug on the Powecell.
4: Transformer chips on each of my dedicated mains outlet sockets.
5: A transformer chip on SR Gallileo plug that supplies the SR precision cable and Powecell.

Tried the transformer chips on the 4 x transformers in my CD player (Esoteric K-01)and I didn't like how it sound... dulled, rounded and compressed the sound.

Also tried the Cable chip on my power cord (Siltech Ruby Double Crown)for my CD player and it didn't do a thing.

I personally think that the Fuse Chips improved the overall sound the most.

Mapman,

To make things even more confusing, when the appropriate WA Quantum Chip is used on an acoustic musical instrument the tone and overall sound of the instrument improves, according to the testimonials of musicians. If the WA chip, as the press release states, "improves the efficiency of current flow and signal transmission," one wonders how can that be the mechanism of operation for an acoustic musical instrument?

It's not necessarily that only audiophiles are able to perceive the advantage. It's more likely that audiophiles are interested in or even enamored with cutting edge technology, whereas industries like telecommunications, NASA, aviation and the military are deliberate and slow in embracing new or cutting edge technologies since new technologies take a very long time to assess and integrate into existing systems. I.e., those organizations are very conservative. Audiophiles are under no such constraint, they simply try these newfangled things out and see how they sound. The Shakti OnLines were measured to provide better gas mileage but I kinda doubt General Motors ever heard of Shakti, much less integrated Shakti products into their automobiles. On the other hand, some vibration isolation concepts for audio were derived from microscopy and some quantum audiophile products were derived from military submarine technology.
