Anyone tried Quantum Resonant Technology?


I recently tried some major power supply upgrades recommended by my local dealer (Vineyard Sound.) I'd been swapping $1,000 interconnects and power cords when Michael suggested a Resonant Technology QX4 and QB8. I have to say up front that I am going to have to downgrade something in another area of my life to keep these components in my system.

The QX4 and QB8 greatly improved highs, spaciousness, attack and decay. Any sense of brightness or grunge disappeared, and I have a much cleaner, wider and deeper soundstage (added 6 feet easy) I've also noticed that I am listening to more music, everyday, for longer periods (the true test for me.)

I don't know the technology but in my system it creates more magic in between my speakers than any other conditioner, tube or cable upgrade I've done. It adds much more energy without removing anything relaxing about music.

My realization is that this technology is more of a foundation that provides the right power to make the recordings sound real. Good recordings sound better, great recordings are in the room, bad sounds okay, still kind of bad.

I'm very impressed and can easily say this combination added 15-20% vs the 5% upgrade with other power supplies changes from quality companies.

Anyone else feel this way or tries these? I've heard little about the Quantum gear other than Nordost is the distributor.

I had a QX4 for a time and liked it alot.

A couple of friends then suggested that I try a Topaz Ultra Isolation Transformer, so I bought of of those too.

I still have my Topaz, and I've sold my QX4 and Power Conditioner.

You don't have to downgrade anything.
Brian,

I did not try the QX4 with the QB4. I did use it with my $3,000.00 reference power conditioner.

I chose my reference power conditioner over all of the other big names that I auditioned and had it for five years.

In total, I had $5,500.00 in my power conditioner and QX4.
