QSA Power Jitter Power Conditioner, anyone tried it?



I’ve got a Yellow one on order. Has anyone else tried it? I have the QSA stones in several places in my system. I tried the light blue fuses, and liked them, but ended up replacing them with the SR purples. This Power Jitter seems like a good way for someone who is is open to these kind of tweaks, but doesn’t want to mess around with fuses, to try QSA.

Unfortunately the negative nellies are out in force as usual with tweaks. What bothers me is these individuals don’t even bother to try what they put down. Maybe their systems or ears just don’t make the grade so they wouldn’t discern any differences no matter how good a product is but more than likely they get a kick putting people down who are willing to use their ears and their brains.

Having said that, tommylion nailed it. I tried a yellow and was intrigued enough by what it did to try the red. The yellow went into a second system. The red really kicked everything up a notch.  As tommylion stated the bass got  deeper and tighter. The soundstage got bigger and I heard details I didn’t know were in a some recordings. I was so impressed I traded the red in for a red/black. It has only been in the system a couple of days so I will wait before commenting.

All three units were plugged directly into the outlet that feeds my Synergistic Research power conditioner which feeds my 2 channel system.

There is nothing impressive looking about these QSA units but they sure do make a positive difference. 

@willgolf I am planning a listening session this afternoon and will post my findings later today or tomorrow.

OK ,I just finished a wonderful 5. + hour listening session.  The red/black may still require some additional break in time but I think I heard enough to post some impressions. First it isn’t a Quantum Leap(bad pun intended) from the red to the red/black as it was when going from the yellow to the red. The yellow is a bargain but performance wise so is the red. The red/black adds to the strengths of the red. The red might be the sweet spot in this lineup but I am sticking with the red/black. If you are wondering why, it is because it gives me a little bit more of what I am looking for from my system. Yes,it is double the price but for me it is worth it. I believe the Tweek Geek allows a 30 day trial so if you are on the fence try both.

@willgolf no I did not try it directly on a source component as I thiI get better bang for the buck plugging my Synergistic Research power conditioner into it that way everything in my 2 channel system is covered.

@t-ramey & fasten let us know what your impressions are once you get them in your system.

@ozzy  You have some good questions,I cannot speak for QSA or the Tweek Geek but  you should try talking to Mike Garner the Tweek Geek himself. I too am curious as to what makes these plugs work. Something that small shouldn’t have the impact that they do. They do come with a 30 day trial so you can get one and move it around but myself I will stick with it leading into my Synergistic Research Powercell which has one of their more expensive power cords providing power to it. Using them before your power conditioner gives you more bang for your buck.
If you do try one out please post your findings. 

One of my audiophile buddies visited for the last two days. He knows the sound of my system very well. He immediately noticed the improvement in sound after two songs and was flabbergasted when he saw the QSA plug that accounted for it. I have tried a lot of tweaks but he said the QSA plug was the best yet. He was so impressed that he is ordering a red plug.

For those of you on the fence remember there is a 30 day trial. What works in my system may not in yours but you will never know unless you try. Personally I am delighted with what the red/black plug did in my system. 

@willgolf my Synergistic Research power cell is plugged into the QSA that takes care of my amps. I also have a PSAudio Stellar power conditioner plugged into the power cell to give proper current to my front end components. I just posted a little detail about my system in the virtual system forum. 

@willgolf go to virtual systems. In the search function at the top type lwin and it should come up.
