"Quantum" generally requires a quantum "leap of faith" to buy into.

Magico is a good name. What setup might not benefit from a little bit of magic?

Machina Dynamica is a most impressive name! Can't judge a book by its cover though.

Audio Research - the name says it all

Bel Canto - gotta sound lovely!

OHM - where would speakers be without OHMs? Volts and amps just can't cut it alone.

VAC - great name for a tube amp company!

I surrender to the magnificence of the name "Schiit Audio" and will not even attempt to better that one.
"You're in good company. Einstein didn't buy into it either."

Just cause Einstein didn't buy into it is no reason why audiophiles should not buy into quantum audio. HEy, if it works for light, why not sound, right? Makes sense......
"Funky" Fuses.

I am still in process of perfecting these and bringing them to market, but when I do, they will sound even more awesome than the name. :-)
