WA-Quantum GmbH's Quantum Chips

Ok, makes sense.
So, you are using some of the chips with the Qol? I had the Transformer and Cap chips on it for a while but I have recently removed them but I don't recall hearimg any hiss.

Very happy with the Power Chip on the inside of my circuit breaker box panel. I have fuse, cable, and transformer chips, and the Power Chip
has proven to be the best, IMO. I had experimented with moving the chips around, and trying them in different applications (cable chip on a transformer, for example), and was not happy with the results.
Maybe I will try a Power Chip outside the house, like where the
utility lines come in?

From dealer for the WA Quantum Chip:

"Chips that have been cut or otherwise opened up to expose the interior treated material are explicitly excluded from this Guarantee."

It would appear that cutting or otherwise exposing the interior quantum material exposes the material to light, which would change the nature of the quantum material over time, just as the number if treatments of the original Intelligent Chip was limited due to repeated bombardment by the CD laser. The WA Chip sandwich material is almost certainly some sort of polycarbonate film or similar IR blocker that protects the quantum material inside the sandwich from exposure to sunlight, room lighting and laser light.

Cutting the WA Chip allows light to enter through the edge of the chip, changing it's functional characteristic. It's also possible the sandwich material is not 100% lightproof so that a sufficient amount of light permeates the film over a period of time - especially in proximity to a CD laser - to change the functional characteristics of the quantum material.

Agreed that power chip is the very effective but characteristic may make it sound more closed in i.e result of more focus. this may result in other chips tto come to play to open and smoothen the sound.

it soynd clearly more ballsy and full sounding than the other types of chips. thats way im going to have spare chips to fine tune may be the way to go. again system dependent. imo power chip may sound hard and harsh in a system that sound on the raw side already.

Wa Quantum Chips and Musical Instrument Effects.
I have previously posted my results for the Quantum Chips at Audio Assylum-Tweeks forum. In summary on my two audio systems (1)speaker and (2) headphone, there was a significant change but not one that I cared for long term.

I also ordered an instrument chip and here are the results.
With the help of noted professional musician Jason Reed of the rock group the "Liars", the chip was placed on an acoustic guitar. Immediate and noticeable change. "The good gualities of this guitar's tone are made better with the chip attached". The chip was taken off the next day and placed on a second guitar and then the original test guitar. A decrease in effect was heard (which puzzled all listeners) with both guitars, but a lesser effect was still present.
Next the same chip was placed on the viola of Ron Smith of the El Paso Texas Symphony. A decrease in lower vibrations (bass) was heard but note decay was prolonged. He felt the chip might be useful for a soloist but would make a group player's instrument stand out.
For the past two weeks the chip has been on my son's viola (high school player). The viola's sound is shifted upward with a prolongation of note decay. He feels the effect the last few days has become stronger.
These chips are fascinating to say the least.
