WA-Quantum GmbH's Quantum Chips
Ozzy, it will likely be a while before I get a chance to play around with the WA Q Chips, unfortunately. I'm on a list. Ha ha. One can't help wondering, you know, with the reports of the sound changing over time, getting worse, after the WA chips ... 
When's enough, enough?
It all depends on what you are trying to achieve. For those with a little bit of sticktoitiveness there are really no limits. The only limitations are the ones you bring with you. It's an Old Wives Tale that your system, no matter how evolved, is ... 
Low Cost Accoustic Diffusor and Treatments
I like chimes, too. I also like those little Feng Shui fountains and Feng Shui one inch diameter clear crystal ball suspended from the ceiling by its red string. 
Oppo BDP-95 as a pure two channel audio source?
Oppo 95 mods are menu driven, i.e., you pay for what you want. The all-out, no holds barred analog and digital mods from EVS, for example, including the $400 Audio Magic Pulse Gen ZX and EVS's super duper clock - runs around $1800. Less than twice...

Ozzy, I have found when it comes to quantum mechanics you need to develop a sensa humor. I have, or have had, the Magic Ring, Ultra Tweeters (including the Delux version), the Soundstage Enhancer, the original Intelligent Chip, the Red and Blue In...

Fuses that matter.

Mapman, you must not have seen It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World. The money was buried under the Big W. Are jokes verboten here? With respect to all my questions, you're probably too young to remember the Socratic Method. :-)Did you have a ques... 
Fuses that matter.
Actually the fuse wire of the Gold Fuse is silver alloy, the end caps are gold plating over copper. The reason for gold for the end caps is less oxidation compared to copper or silver, obviously.

TRANSPARENT CABLE VALUE
"Try Purist much better value""My friend sent me pics some time ago when he opened one of their expensive cables. He is in computer business and knows Belden cables very well. Guess, what he found?"Uh, a computer? 
Looking for suggestions on a used Oppo
The Oppo DVD Player (not Blu Ray) circa 6 years ago typically sells for around 100 bucks in new or like new condition. IIRC you can get a new one on Amazon. 
Do you leave the Jeff Rowland Amp on all the time
I want Netflix AND good sound. I have a headphone amp so it looks like I'll be foregoing one six pack of Corona a month. 
Question About Tube Dampers
It is not always a performance positive. It has been my experience that most tube dampers actually hurt the sound, albeit subtly. They seem like such a good idea, too. Experimentation is the order of the day.

It would be very clever if the quantum material was contained in the adhesive. Of course that might represent a problem if the chips are moved from one location to another. The manufacturer recommends first trying the chips without removing the ba...
