Hey, i just done my last order of chips in 10's of the various kinds.
imo, dont, different chips sound different. I experienced the same problem from the cable chips on the wrong cable, details, yes, smooth but lacks dynamic.
I cut a large cap chip into quarters hoping to save some, didnt work-i may may messed that chip up. It just sounds different and lost the impact.
like i mentioned try the new power chip, it gives the sound a pronounced kick and yes i just placed them on top of the power connector. Way different from a cable chip. Go figure.
I am now just going take my time to experiment i have enough chips and will have some extras to tweak, dont bet on returning them. Ill just see where to fit them slowly . im sure they will fall in place.
An extra $200 worth of chip when i'm done (i guess) will be just to do fine tuning. I really don't need any more, it's already overkill with the number of chips i have now. Well, any of my footer cost that already. The best part is that when they work in the right place, they improve in a direction that doesn't mess up the sound as much as a wrong footer , cable etc.
I think the bigger the chip is better. I was short of 1 transformer chip and tried a capacitor chip on the same location on my other speaker. Didn't work for me.
I would recommend a mix of all various chips since they all sound different and now im talking about a correct mix of all of the various chips that brings synergy.
I encountered at each step, when an extra one starts seemly wrong (though still a having a very noticeable difference), adding a different chip elsewhere solves it (rebalances the sonics) and leave the sound at a new higher level.
I'm now looking into the Nordost Quantum QV2 /Kemp QA plug, im totally impressed with this nano / quantum suff. Freakly Amazin'.
I've retired a whole bunch of Oyaide plugs taken now, they just seem to make a too huge a difference and sometimes in the wrong sonic direction. The effects of these chips are pronounced but to me improves in the right or linear magnitude. It's just such a nice icing on the cake.
I guess these chips work fantastically as a final step when the sound of ones system is correctly done. These chips make taking the guesswork and headaches out of adding tweaks which may or may not make a nice difference and end taking wild stabs in the quest of perfection.
Just my 2 cents!
