WA-Quantum GmbH's Quantum Chips


WA-Quantum GmbH's Quantum Chips has anyone tried these?

I have tried the fuse chips and I am quite impressed! How the ... ???

So, I went ahead and ordered chips for speakers,cables,and transformer chips. I also purchased a few more fuse chips to try on circuit breakers / outlets.
Heck, I may even try some of them on my Synergistic powercell.
Luckly they come with a 30 day return.

I have read Norm's positive review on Stereo Times.

Just wondering if anyone else has tried these.

I have had very good results with one cable chip wrapped around the copper wire, the one for my audio system, as it comes into the circuit breaker. That operation usually requires removing the panel cover. I have had additional improvements by sticking a second cable chip directly on the front of the line of breakers. Small capacitor chips should be attached to the ends of physically small caps, large capacitor chips to the ends of large caps.
Didn't someone in here suggest putting them on top of the capacitors? My CJ Teflons lie on their sides, and I'd read to put them on the TOP of the capacitor, in contrast to attaching them to the sides. And there are quite a few capacitors in my unit (FMJ 23) not to mention I tried getting to the Ring DAC and the bloody boards are all but welded on, so nothing moves easily.
Actually, I have Arcam's number and am calling them in an hour (they're at lunch, although it's only 8:30 am here!)
I use the Cap chips on the end of the Caps.
I am also using a combo of a power chip and a cable chip 0n my circuit breaker panel.
There are lots of capacitors and lots of semiconductors, all of which should get Capacitor chips and Semiconductor chips, respectively. Coils and inductors and transformers should get the transformer/coil/inductor chip. When I say End I mean Top of capacitor.
I've had several interesting experiences with the Quantum chips since I last posted.
I got a shipment two days ago, and put a semi-conductor on the Ring DAC module. And...it didn't improve it. Indeed,it seemed to remove some of the palpability and focus on the piano. So I took it off this morning, and found the sound had improved.
Now, being a scientific type, I found, when I opened the Arcam, that it had a fuse in it! I never knew that (I'd never opened it)! So, naturally I got a Synergistic fuse for it, which arrived yesterday, along with large capacitor chips and a fuse chip.
I had put the fuse in last night, but wasn't satisfied with the sound. So, I moved a few Tube Traps around, on the theory that I had compensated a bit to get more air and transient information back into it. I should point out that 3 weeks ago, before I had the semidconductor chip OR the fuse, that the sound was pretty emotionally involving and the piano playing (off the 2nd Mercury box set, CD55 with John Corigliano, the composer and Hilde Sumer, the pianist) was extremely dynamic and transients were fast, clear and percussive.
So, back to last night. I went to see the opening of the Man of Steel, giving the fuse time to warm up. Oh, and I had put large Capacitors on the CJ Classic SE preamp as well. I already had one capacitor on the really big capacitor in there, but put two more on the capacitors on the right and left channels (they fit, so I assume the large size didn't hurt).
For one of the few times, I wasn't impressed AT ALL. It sounded good, but when I put on the latest CD I got, the Julliard Quartet, it sounded "dead." Now, I remember when it arrived a week ago, and although a little bright, it had a real "live" feel to it. So I backtracked and decided to remove anything that hadn't been in the system last week, including the exact placement of the Walker Large Brass cones on the preamp and CD player (and believe me, placement is ALL with the Walkers). 1/8" movement, right or left, forward or backward, makes the difference between sound that is mildly foggy (or grainy) and sound that is clears and restores ambience retrieval - and therefore the placement of instruments improves, because when you lose ambience, the distance, front to back, of instruments becomes compressed because there's no "air" in between the different rows of the players.
So, I took off the semiconductor chip (but left the fuse in there [ I did all this an hour ago: my job can wait!!! I'm trying to discover a new neutron star in my mind. The job's tedious]) and turned it on.
Cold, with the capacitors on the CJ removed, but the fuse in placed and the semi-conductor chip removed from the Ring DAC module, the sound moved closer to realism (as I hear it in Carnegie Hall, my reference Hall). The wood blocks had more snap, and the pianist, Ms. Somer, sounded like she was on a manic binge, and the music had all the drama the composition had before I made these changes. (And the system is still warming up, since the Arcam had to be turned off). I'm going to put the Quantum capacitor chips on my Hurricane amps, since I now have 4 of them. So, two on the right amp, and two on the left. We'll see what that does.
A question, though, gentleman. Which chip do you put on your breaker box? I know the answer's in here somewhere and I'll look, but in case I miss it, can you guys remind me which chip goes on the breaker box and make suggestions as to other places to put the chips?
Thanks, I appreciate the sharing that goes on in here when we find a product that works.
Oh, by the way, this isn't germaine to this forum, but do try the Shakti Online stabilizers on transformers on your amps, speaker cable (midlength of the speaker cable, which I can't do, since I got some MG Audio design AG interconnects and the Planus 2 speaker cable (and it's a ribbon, and the speaker cables on my Shunyata Dark Elevators - the V2 version (waaaaaaaaaaaay superior to the version 1). So the cable are thin - like Nordost's Valhalla speaker cables, and on their side, so there's no way to balance the Shakti's on there. But they do work. I put them on power cords and the difference is obvious, especially if you listen to instruments in the back of the orchestra. Their placement loses a mild haziness and the inner detail increases.
Thanks again for the sharing.
