Wa Quantum Chips and Musical Instrument Effects.
I have previously posted my results for the Quantum Chips at Audio Assylum-Tweeks forum. In summary on my two audio systems (1)speaker and (2) headphone, there was a significant change but not one that I cared for long term.
I also ordered an instrument chip and here are the results.
With the help of noted professional musician Jason Reed of the rock group the "Liars", the chip was placed on an acoustic guitar. Immediate and noticeable change. "The good gualities of this guitar's tone are made better with the chip attached". The chip was taken off the next day and placed on a second guitar and then the original test guitar. A decrease in effect was heard (which puzzled all listeners) with both guitars, but a lesser effect was still present.
Next the same chip was placed on the viola of Ron Smith of the El Paso Texas Symphony. A decrease in lower vibrations (bass) was heard but note decay was prolonged. He felt the chip might be useful for a soloist but would make a group player's instrument stand out.
For the past two weeks the chip has been on my son's viola (high school player). The viola's sound is shifted upward with a prolongation of note decay. He feels the effect the last few days has become stronger.
These chips are fascinating to say the least.
