Beside my clients I knew many people who already used it. My sceptical thoughts made me wait so long.
My sceptical thoughts were based on nothing. Because I never tested it. Ronald Kemp gave me several times fuses to test. But I never wanted them to test. And now I have to admit that it was a big mistake of me not have tested it earlier.
It is not a substantial difference, because in audio you have many of these. No....it makes a big improvement.
Some clients of mine became even irritated why manufacturers use cheap fuses who cost about 10 dollar cent. I even contacted a few to talk about it.
They said; we know it can make a good difference but we create a source or amp based on the all the costs we have to pay.
Even when you would spend the same money on a better interconnect you are not able to get this advantage. This was what many of my clients said to me.
Audio is always about comparing and what will I get for improvement for the money I spend. And in my perspective you need to give each client the best improvement for the money they spend.
It doesn't matter how it is created, you want them to get the best for the money possible!
The Maxiimus is the same. When I use a number a person knows well I first let him hear the song without the Maxiimus and after this the same song with the Maxiimus. This difference is so big, even people get irritated. They say; how can I go listening to mu music without it.
This is an example that the device sells itself. And that is what the best fuses do as well.
Beside the good stuff I still find that over 95% of all products in audio shops are not worth the money. This screws the audio market for many people. It creates sceptical people and I understand why.
In the Netherlands there are some brands who say to shops that they are not allowed to sell some brands. This is getting more common, this is a big concern I think.
Let your own ears do the work, and you will find out what it does for you. |
We sell by shootout, people can make their own choices. If I had tested it before I would have sold it a lot earlier.
There are more brands in fuses. I had clients who used different brands. But when they compared to Hifi Tuning they replaced them.
Audio is comparing and testing. So test it yourself!! |
I said to all my clients when you are not convinced send them back and You get your money returned. I never got any fuse back. Often people called me back and were amazed by the differences.
We care not talking about a small difference because then I would have got some back for sure. Even in subwo0ofers they make a big difference.
Most manufacturers of amps, pre amps and sources use cheap internal wiring. Here it is very easy to make a big difference. |

First of all the profit is not that impressive. You earn more money on speakers and cables.
Our goal is to create the best results to improve the quality for the lowest costs. We don't focus on what will give the most money.
I give you another example; In 2015 we took many months to compare all the streamers and dacs there are on the market. To find what is the best. There was one brand who stood far above anything. This was Lumin.
So we became Lumin. Most shops in the Netherlands were not interested in Lumin based on the low margin. How stuppid you can be!!
Audio always will be based on those products which are the best. They are the most easiest to sell.
We use shootouts to show that we have the best products. This makes it easy. At th end people want the best, so you need to give them the best they deserve! |
I made a reply to say how big the % is of all the products in audio shops what is not worth the money. But they removed it.
Audio has become a monopolistic world, this makes people sceptical, it is understandable.
My clients can send anything back when they would not be statisfied. And get back 100%. 50% back? What kind of world do you live in?

Dear cleeds: the advantage of today is that you can get a much higher level in quality than before. But beside this you can get so much more different products and new brands than before.
In 2015 I met several people who spend a lot of money on audio and were nog happy at all what they received.
There are even highend brands owned by investment companies these days. Here you see that the quality is getting less. I will not use the names because then it will be removed again.
These brands are well known and my clients were very dissapointed in the quality these products gave.
In the last days I had contact with several clients of mine about fuses. I said: In the US many believe it is a scam. Many had to laugh.
I still believe that scepticism is being created by those products who are not worth the money. In audio most are......

I know a person who works for a world know company. He was with some collegues in England at What Hifi. When they wanted 5 stars for their product they had to pay an amount of 4 digits.
At the end they didn’t pay and they got 3 stars. Tests often doesn’t garantee you anything.
The question is; when is a test objective and honest? I know many products with great reviews who were very poor. And also products with average reviews who were exeptional good.
I think you need a new and different way of perspective to judge audio products. And you know why?
Because they way it goes now in 10 years the audio market will decrease for sure.
It is not the question if it needs to change, but how because you cannot wait too long!

In the last 1.5 years we have replaced fuses of many amp, pre amps sources and even a few set of speakers.
I have to admit that the differences in how big the influences are of the fuses are big. And yess there are a few situations that it didn’t do as much as other situations.
In the past I sold many Primare products and with the amps it makes only a small step to be honest. So I don’t recommend these products.
As a dealer you need to know which products make a big improvement and which don’t. Beside this any client need to have the freedom to get his money back.
But beside this in many sistuations we had a lot of succes. You need to have the freedom to test fuses so you know how it will work in your situation.
It takes about a week ( 24 hours a day for 7 days) before the fuses are burned in. In the beginning often the image is too much focussed on instrumenrs and voices. After a week it becomes more like a whole part.
When it doesn’t bring enough, you should have the option to bring it back and get your amount back. |
To create a difference in sound is quite easy, but to create an improvement is something totally different and also a lot more difficult. That is why I work and think by Tru-Fi. Because these are 8 different parts you judge sound for. Each part of a set I can judge by Tru-Fi when I am aware of the properties it owns. ( d.n.a.) These parts has nothing to do with personal taste but with facts who are noticeable by hearing. This makes audio so much more easy tot understand and use. This is the main reason why I test so much ( for me it does not cost energy at all. To be honest I think I am even addicted) https://www.facebook.com/bobby.kingma/media_set?set=a.10156554423700083.1073741937.588405082&typ...https://www.facebook.com/bobby.kingma/media_set?set=a.10156573228780083.1073741942.588405082&typ...I share my testresults all the time with my clients. Because I can improve sound over and over again. In each year I create many new options to improve sound. Albert Einstein said the definition of insanity is doing something over and over again but expecting a different result. It is a repeating way for me as well to create a better endresult. Always using the same parametres. I have proven to many people that it creates a superior endresult in sound compared to the ’old fashion way’ of creating an audio set. |
Choices which are made in shops are often made on political choices. Even at shows sets are created by political choices.
It is very easy to explain in words but even a lot more easy with sound how limited audio is in endresult by the way audio is sold and created.
When you talk with many different audio owners you see a pattern why many of them are not as happy as they would like to be with their set.
When the world of audio would be more open and honest customers would have a better endresult.
Beside this people in audio need to spend more time on research of products and new systems. To give better information to their clients. |
In 2015 we also did a lot of research in smog. This was even for me totally new. I never did any research in this area. Now in 2016 I can say mannnn smog really F. up the sound and quality of each audio system. I was very sceptical about this to be honest. Ronald Kemp send me different times stuff to test. But for a long time I never was interested to test it. The same regarding the fuses I was wrong, you can easilly improve the sound. I have done many tests and now I know exactly were and how to use it. This I keep for myself. Test it yourself..... This is a lot more difficult to use than fuses. Because it is very easy to create a lower endresult in sound when you use it wrong. Because compared to how old the electricity equipment is in your house and what they use makes it a lot different in result. There are electric groups which will not work with these stickers There are many amps, sources, conditiones and places were you cannot use them. I take it with me to clients and I compare and test to see were it works and needs to be placed. The Maxiimus is by far the best tool I ever tested to improve sound based on electricity. Shootouts I did with clients made people go crazy. Some people said; it is f. with my brian. Most people heard how big the differences were. And it is difficult to go back without it. http://www.monoandstereo.com/2016/04/kemp-elektroniks-maxiimus-p16-review_3.html#more |
They are talking about the
WA Quantum Chip. I did not start it. Just a reply on his remarks.
Fuses and these chips have a lot in common. |
You are talking about Chips and fuses who are fake. My personal opinion is that over 95% of all product in audio are not worth the money it cost.
There are so many different products who are not that good as people think they are. I think this post will be removed agian.
People don't want to hear the truth, people want to hear what they wish to hear.
|
Tests are used to give an idea about the quality of the product? How big do you think the chance is that this is the truth? |
Van den Hul is a very nice person. For a couple of years he was always waiting for me at an audio show which was kept every year.
He always wanted to make a round with me during this show.
I owned and tested his best cables. But these days he is not the best anymore. In my world only the best products count, the rest doesn't make sense.
When you use the chips wrong you will loose a lot of details and even in dynamics. It is easy to change the sound but it needs to be an improvement.
When they work well, you get a higher blacklevel and a sharper individual focus of instruments and voices.
And the low freq. become more tight with even more layers.
In many situations it also didn't improve the sound, you even went to a lower quality in sound.
You cannot use and buy them blind!! |
The cables of Van den Hul are by far not the best in the market. That is why they are not good enough. Even I like him as a person, I don’t think his cabels are that convincing
I was one of the first who tested his powercables back in 2003. He send them to me to test. They were not good enoug, this was what I said to him. It is as it is! |
The Maxiimus sell itself. You put it on and off, and even during listening. The differences are this huge, that you don't want to go back.
I had it with me last week to a client, he directly orderd one. After this we visited another client to deliver his Lumin player. After the demo with the Maxximus he said; I will buy one next month.
One of my best friends often lgoes with me to clients was amazed as well. He will buy one as well.
At the end convincing results only will work. |
hahahahahaha..........other part, other rules! |
