WA-Quantum GmbH's Quantum Chips

Ozzy, its good that you have not given up on the chips.

Baffling stuff, knowing they work, i still cant imagime how it will work on a piano.

There are 2 new chips, the power and semiconductor chips.

I have used both, together with a no risk trial of the whole range of these "stickers".

So far, negatives need rebalancing of the sound with other types of chips or tweaks. Keep an open mind and tweak on.

The ic chips in my palyers shows no ill effects as described by yourself. But agree that too many same chips in a system requires a rebalance of the Sound by tweaking elsewhere or using a different chip.

What is that i found each chip doesnt have a different characteristic. The flattening of the sound imho, the cable chips which are easiest to use can sound flat and overly smooth once you have a good number in the system.

With one cable chil on each cable didnt work for me, the last interconnect beside having them on all pc's flattened the sound.

Heres where the lower chip comes in, it sound more bombastic and fleshed out. Now when i reintroduce the last ic with the cable chip, brilliant!

Adding another power chip improved it further. Now came the 3rd and last power chip i had. It added further to the solidity, but now the staging sounds more closed in and vocal show some grain and hardness. Here where i add another cable chip to the ic and this smooths out the sound again.

In regards to speakerchips, specifically adding a capacitor chip on the woofers cap gave it better lows and shifting it where the midrange cap is located, the midbass improve, likewise a transformer chip at the location of the woofers inductor was nice as well. These were place outside the speaker know the specific location of the parts.

I didnt experiment much with the fuse chips, besides the cdp, they just went in and i didnt notice anything detrimental. Their effect is nice but smaller compared to the larger chip. Size does matter! Maybe 2 or 3 chips per fuse brings more benefits.

Now, how many more capacitor abd inductor chips to i need. Its crazy so far. I just keep ordering, the total on each order makes me think again as the price add up so quickly.

Hey, i just done my last order of chips in 10's of the various kinds.

imo, dont, different chips sound different. I experienced the same problem from the cable chips on the wrong cable, details, yes, smooth but lacks dynamic.

I cut a large cap chip into quarters hoping to save some, didnt work-i may may messed that chip up. It just sounds different and lost the impact.

like i mentioned try the new power chip, it gives the sound a pronounced kick and yes i just placed them on top of the power connector. Way different from a cable chip. Go figure.

I am now just going take my time to experiment i have enough chips and will have some extras to tweak, dont bet on returning them. Ill just see where to fit them slowly . im sure they will fall in place.

An extra $200 worth of chip when i'm done (i guess) will be just to do fine tuning. I really don't need any more, it's already overkill with the number of chips i have now. Well, any of my footer cost that already. The best part is that when they work in the right place, they improve in a direction that doesn't mess up the sound as much as a wrong footer , cable etc.

I think the bigger the chip is better. I was short of 1 transformer chip and tried a capacitor chip on the same location on my other speaker. Didn't work for me.

I would recommend a mix of all various chips since they all sound different and now im talking about a correct mix of all of the various chips that brings synergy.

I encountered at each step, when an extra one starts seemly wrong (though still a having a very noticeable difference), adding a different chip elsewhere solves it (rebalances the sonics) and leave the sound at a new higher level.

I'm now looking into the Nordost Quantum QV2 /Kemp QA plug, im totally impressed with this nano / quantum suff. Freakly Amazin'.

I've retired a whole bunch of Oyaide plugs taken now, they just seem to make a too huge a difference and sometimes in the wrong sonic direction. The effects of these chips are pronounced but to me improves in the right or linear magnitude. It's just such a nice icing on the cake.

I guess these chips work fantastically as a final step when the sound of ones system is correctly done. These chips make taking the guesswork and headaches out of adding tweaks which may or may not make a nice difference and end taking wild stabs in the quest of perfection.

Just my 2 cents!

Ozzy,

Its as i have added another qol, more there with greater refinement.
The darn background hiss seems clearer and more appearent.

Did you encounter this as well.

Sorry, I meant it's as if i added another QOL.

Love what the QOL it does but the hiss does annoy me. The hiss has become clearer now that the chips are installed.

Agreed that power chip is the very effective but characteristic may make it sound more closed in i.e result of more focus. this may result in other chips tto come to play to open and smoothen the sound.

it soynd clearly more ballsy and full sounding than the other types of chips. thats way im going to have spare chips to fine tune may be the way to go. again system dependent. imo power chip may sound hard and harsh in a system that sound on the raw side already.

thats fasinating! How would you reckon the chip will work on say a grand piano with such size.

stick the instrument chip on the body, external, internal, on some keys. seems to complex to grasp where it would have its effect.

Sgordon, your TVs is clearer too.

Agree the powerful is influential on my system. Have another 4 on order. I'm going to try the too many approach but not take em out. Will balance out the sound by using other types of chips.

3 on my line breaker was very dramatic but closed in the sound. A byproduct of more focussed sound?

I got a quartzcrystal and some silk absorber on the mains coming into the house. Misteriously they have vanished!

I guess the meterman was wondering what the crap and removed them. Unknown the powerchip is to costly to risk that.
