Quantum Science Audio Thread

Tammy says this removal is not by mods, it’s by multiple reports from members, and this is now being watched as to see who has the multiple memberships to get it removed so fast???
And it will just keep going up till someone is exposed with the multiple memberships.

I don't think it's about one person having multiple memberships (and going to the trouble of flagging posts over and over) but lots of members, instead, who are tired of your games. It's very immature. 

All the best,
Nonoise

Be assured that I have only one membership. Also, be assured that I will be reporting every one of your offensive posts. Personally, I'm sick of you insulting the members on this site with your nonsense. I'm sure others are following suit. As long as you present positive inputs, all will be just fine.

The above post of mine is not in any violation of Audiogons posting rules, and is also not offensive in any way, neither is the added quoted post in it by cerberus79

So if it keeps coming down it is very easy for me to paste it back up, so then non technical can hear from the technical side before spending a small fortune on a 10cent fuse, then they can make up their own mind

George you’ve been ask very nice, by several people..

Quit posting the fuse information. They want to know about boutique fuses.

It’s just like asking a question about a Pass Lab amp, but giving information about an RCA transistor radio. They are two different things and they are NOT related to the topic... AT ALL. THAT is why you keep getting reported...

You cannot change the reason for YOUR post.. Stock fuses.

This is about anything BUT stock fuses.. Do you understand the difference?
Kind of like fighting to the death BUT the war is already OVER... 

Regards..

What are you going to do when multi vendors say GEORGE is costing US money and WE want him banned. Him or US.. We pay to sell here, he stops the sales.

Which is NONE of your business. not one flippin’ bit.. I say it all the time, what I buy is 100 times less than what others pay.. BUT never it’s not worth it to others, just not to me... YOU can’t seen to be able to tell the difference. Your advocating people are unable to make up their own mind.

You keep speaking about a different topic, stock fuses.. Apples Oranges

You are right it is being watched by a whole bunch of people.. Don't worry about Tammy.. She will do her job just like she always has.. WELL..

Not sure where the "multiples" came from. Pretty sure everyone is just sick of it George.

FWIW, I will continue reporting this nonsense as "SPAM" until it stops.

A few months ago I purchased a used pair of speakers from another Agon member.
To my surprise all the fuses were Orange fuses. I listened to them and then to satisfy my curiosity I replaced them with ordinary buss fuses and could not hear a difference.
I did this test with a bunch of friends and neither I or them could hear a difference. Kind of just says it all doesn't it?

To those non technical thinking of purchasing these $$$ fuses. Just save your $150+ and do this instead.

A fuse:
1: two end caps
2: short piece of fuse wire connecting the two end caps through a glass tube (that’s all she wrote).

To those "non technical" members that are interested in "maybe" wasting their money, do not listen to the non-technical, listen to the technicians of this industry that design the audio products you have and listen to. AND YOU WON"T SEE THEM ON THREADS LIKE THIS AGREEING WITH WHAT SAID HERE ABOUT THE SOUND IMPROVMENT DETAILS AND AC FUSE PLACEMENT DIRECTION, EVER!!!
Just clean and tighten your fuse holder and re-new your fuse (if old) with a good quality 50cent Bussman, Littlefuse or similar.As with "many switch-on surges" they do deteriorate, bend, stretch and get crusty with electrolysis formations on their fusible wire elements before they give out, as these pics show of a fuse wire element ageing over time show. https://ibb.co/9NbTwqK (even the $$$ boutique ones will age just as much also)

Cheers George

+1 - OCD with acute narcissistic overtones to be more precise….

55 + deletions at this point. 

Sick is being VERY nice about it..

You're being shown the door George..

AND were warned several times...

Going for 90 days? Going Going and ??????

Is it the goo or the paint?
Ceramic or metal choice?

I get the bottleneck issue but the prices are just insane.  And why don't the manufacturers get on board if the sound improves so dramatically?

Be assured that I have only one membership.

Same here, and I’ll also keep reporting the off-topic or spam posts. Enough is enough.

Same here. Sad to see my snarky comments go as well but if it results in his being ousted so sanity can prevail, count me in.

Michael has always been responsive to me. Was about ready to order anyway so just emailed him about it. Want to upgrade my Blue in the Blackhawk to Violet, Synergistic Orange in the Herron to QSA Yellow, and getting one set each of the three stones Red, Blue and Clear. 

MC ... Looking forward to your impressions of the stones. 

Huh, well that is strange. Ozzy had posted saying he wasn't getting response to his emails. So I emailed Mike and got a response and he is sending me a PayPal invoice. Total elapsed time 22 min. Now Ozzy post is gone.  

Anyway, just so everyone knows, emailed Mike my order request, the reply was fast and he has the Stones in stock (all 3 versions) and will have to order Violet and Yellow fuses, which could be next week but probably the week after.  

Totally expected as they are after all listed as Special Order on the site. tweekgeek.com

why don't the manufacturers get on board if the sound improves so dramatically



Same reason that someone can go in and change resistors, capacitors, and wire to much better quality than what the manufacturers used when the product was designed, cost.

PayPal invoice paid. Should have stones next week, Violet and Yellow fuses a week or so after that. I'm assuming the Stones are similar to Krissy's eCards and eMats and so will try them in the usual places around transformers, power supplies, etc. Real curious to hear the different effects. 

"What about the electromagnetic wave that travels from source to load? "
Could you explain that to me? First I ever heard of that. Where did you get the information from, trying to learn here.Thanks
BillWojo

That's called the signal. What about it?

"Real curious to hear the different effects."
Betraying bias; portraying a cultist attitude. 

@Millercarbon,

Please report back with your findings.
I'm very curious to hear what you think.

If his is a "cultist" attitude, then consider me part of the cult, lol.

The difference some of these tweaks make are absolutely incredible.

I might splurge and get some of that new magic "goo" contact enhancer (NPS-1260).
Seriously, it’s what? $350 a bottle or so?

That’s not bad if it works as well as people say it does...
Of course, at some point, I imagine I’m going to hit the point of diminishing returns.....my system is pretty good, but I’m sure some of you guys have absolutely KILLER setups. 

We do the best we can, I guess. It’s a journey, right?

No matter what else has gone on here *ahem*, this has been a pretty enjoyable thread.
Thank you, OP, and thanks to those that have discussed QSA and other brands.

See, here's what's funny.... Didn't the "magic beans" in Jack and the Beanstalk actually work?

So, two nights ago, I moved the Yellow fuse from the line stage and put it into the phono stage. It seems to be a better match there in my system.

In playing my go-to demo LPs, I’m hearing more inner detail than before. I was concentrating on female vocals and noticed that the ending of words was a lot clearer, enhancing the organic sound of the human voice. The leading edge of guitars, the fading off of notes, and the three-dimensionality of the presentation were enhanced, along with a quieter background. So far, a winner.

The midrange still had that artifact that I didn’t like in the line stage, but not to such a degree. I think what this fuse is doing, is moving the midrange more to a solid-state-like presentation. Don’t get me wrong here, this fuse is really good, but my electronics are already fairly neutral, and I like a touch of tube warmth, so I think it is a matter of taste.

Comparing the QSA Yellow fuse with the SR Orange fuse is a tradeoff. For transparency, lower noise floor, and inner detail, I’d take the QSA Yellow. For midrange warmth and emotional impact, the SR Orange comes out ahead.

A few things to keep in mind here are, first, it is a matter of taste. Second, it is system-dependent. Third, I believe the QSA Yellow fuse still needs more break-in time. At this point, I think it is fair to say that neither fuse will disappoint.

Another QSA Yellow fuse will be arriving any day now. It will go into the amp. Stay tuned.

Frank

@Oregonpapa your fuse will be better with more break-in time. I heard the same sound you describe when I put it in on the other side. I changed the side and everything became more relaxed.

senza ... Thanks for the input. I'm continuing to work with it. 

tslushima1 ... Anything positive to add to the discussion? Anything??
