WA-Quantum GmbH's Quantum Chips

Ozzy... thanks again. a lot of tweaks don't work in my system because it is a very balanced and revealing one.

Ozzy.. I felt like a fool when I was sticking the chips to my fuses thinking to myself, I have been conned out of some money for these stupid stickers but the reality proved me very wrong. I've stick the fuse chips to my consumer unit fuses and to my clock fuse. Lft them in there over night and this morning played my usual reference CD's and my jaw dropped thinking WTF just happened here. Everything seem louder, clearer, more detail and the dynamics also improved. Next up to stick 2 fuse chips to my dual mono pre amp again thinking how can this get any better.... WRONG again. The music got even louder from my usual listening level and more dynamics. The bass took a deeper dive yet having more definition. I'm now really scratching my head as to how these small " stickers" work but you know what, it doesn't matter because I'm loving the sound and chilling :)
More fuse chips on the way but not sure am willing to go crazy on other more expensive chips.
I too own a SR Powercell 10SE-Mk2 so maybe that's where I'll attack next.

Ozzy,

The same thing happened when I used the transformer chips in my SACD player, pre and monos. Infact, even the fuse chips that were in my pre ( Krell Evo-2) seperate power supplies sounded dull and flat after a week or so.
You might want to try removing a fuse chip at a time from your system and listen again. I think you MIGHT find it sounding more alive. Just my cent.

I now have experimented some more chips on the SR Powercell 10SE-MK2....

1: A cable chip on the 32A plug.
2: A transformer chip on the back of Powercell body in the middle.
3: A transformer chip next to the DC active plug on the Powecell.
4: Transformer chips on each of my dedicated mains outlet sockets.
5: A transformer chip on SR Gallileo plug that supplies the SR precision cable and Powecell.

Tried the transformer chips on the 4 x transformers in my CD player (Esoteric K-01)and I didn't like how it sound... dulled, rounded and compressed the sound.

Also tried the Cable chip on my power cord (Siltech Ruby Double Crown)for my CD player and it didn't do a thing.

I personally think that the Fuse Chips improved the overall sound the most.

Ozzy, thanks for the advice but I have left them in there for over 2 days for the Powercell. Also, I thing I hate about the chips is that once you peel them off the sticky glue is hopeless meaning trying to attempt re using them.

My time with the chips has been done and only the fuse ones are being used.

Thanks.

Ok, tried the chips all over and the only one that worked for me is the fuse chip in my pre amp. The transformer and cable chips did absolute nothing.
Firstly tried the transformer chips(4) in my CD player and noticed a drop in detail and dynamic, also sound stage shrunk. Took them out then tried them in my mono amps, again, did nothing to the sound. Next tried them along with a cable chip on SR Powercell 10SE-MK-2... sounded dull in comparision so took them all out except the fuse chips in my pre amp and the consumer unit.

System sounded a bit off today and since nothing has been added prior and after the fuse chips. I duly removed them from the pre amp and what do you know.... the sound came back to live. The fuse chips gave more dynamic, volume to a sense etc at first but now after a week or so has dulled the sound especially the highs. Music became less involving, detail and lost the PRAT factor. I have no idea what the chips are doing but they will not be going back into my system. I know a lot of you have found them to be very impressive but these are my findings and opinion. Your may differ.

Thanks

Apart from the SR Powercell, all my other equipment that I've tried the chips on have either seperate power supplies or the transformers are seperated like a double decker bus so maybe this could be the reason why it kind of killed the sound by over doing it.

The chips has made my system sounded IMO worse so one thing for sure is that they do do something. I tried them on/off about few times remembering the positive gains of the fuse chips in my pre and never got it back so finally gave up because a: they dulled the sound and b: they wouldn't stick anymore.

Ozzy, I'm so glad that they are doing wonderful things for your system.

Ozzy... That is exactely what happened to me. I'm glad you have tried taking them off.
I've also tried the cable chip on the IEC of the power cords with the same result so off it came.

You must be craching your head just like me when my system sounded ill with the chips. :)

Ozzy, Glad you too found the transformer chip don't work for the Galieo plug... I have a cable chip which I will try instead and get back to you.

Thanks

My conclusion after spending over $250 on the chips is to NOT buy them totally waste of time, effort and money. Use the money to buy more/ better fuses instead.
I have a collection of them that doesn't stick anymore due to the useless glue that they use.

Ozzy, I'm glad you are finding them to be of use.

Geoffkait,

I have totally given up on them thanks.
