WA-Quantum GmbH's Quantum Chips

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.

Did you happen to try the fuse both ways?

Nope, Geoffkait, not this time. I know to do it, but not right now. I'm going to live with it in one direction for two weeks and then I'll change it and play the same music again. Sometimes, something like the change in voltage coming in thru the wall can throw off the sound as well. I opt -these days- for a longer "trial run" and then change. Besides, the only thing to change is the fuses. I had the Capacitor chips on my Hurricanes, and found that using four of them reduced the realism on CDs that have that capability. When I took them off both amps, the realism was reduced again, which meant I could use two, but not four. My experience is that the chips (as many of us know) don't work in every application, no matter what the manufacturer thinks (or even individuals). There's enough examples on this thread alone to show that the chips DO work, just not in every spot. I'm exceedingly curious about the chip that one puts on the breaker box (that one's on its way). If it works, Great! If it doesn't, well, back it goes to the place I bought it from.
I wish they worked on every single thing you put them on, but I just haven't found that to be the case, although the Synergistic fuses, with the WA Quantum chips wrapped around them, have yet to fail to make noticeable differences.Good ones (more transparency, more air around instruments and a fuller timbre), but I think part of that is Synergistic, which is similar to Shunyata in that they also have a fuller timbre, no matter WHAT the product is. They're probably pretty powerful in the midbass, which gives an instrument its "body." I was playing Malcom Arnold Cornish Dances tonight, and I thought, hmmm...the sound is clearer, and timbres better, but the CD itself remained "light"- sounding as in, say, the difference between Nordost,which is lean in timbre (although very fast) and Shunyata,which has more tonal color. (And I have both: Valhalla, Tyr and Shunyata's Cobra line so I can hear the difference between them).
The fuse was a good thing, since, if putting the Synergistic fuse in the system made the Arnold CD sound "thicker" I would have known it was a coloration. I've heard the Arnold in enough systems to know that it isn't ever going to sound as though it has a "presence" to it.
But back to the Quantums. In some applications, they shine. In others - where you're sitting back going, Oh MAN, this is gonna be great - it doesn't pan out that way. I still think they're fantastic on fuses, which is where they show the most immediate improvements.
