Far be it from me to deny the audible advantages of a tweak, but we may be splitting the proverbial nano hair here.

Agreed. Synergistic also claims Quantum treatment for their fuses, but then what they do is they apply two million volts to it, not a sticker.

I received 2 quantum chips when I ordered 2 Hifi-Tuning Supreme fuses a few months ago.

Thanks Stephen,

As the uncomplete science mind (read as easily goggle boxed by ideas) can only rely on observation. The theme with the chips seems to be focus without hardening, early observation but they maybe lock into the fundamental nature of the gear they are used on and give it a stronger voice so when they are put on the Shindo it just sounds purer Shindo, the Maggie's get more Maggie 'you are there' real and on the Magtech it came even closer to having no easily discernible signature at all which is a quality I find with the Magtech anyway.

Small value changes, bigger qualitative differences, the sound shifts subtly but the music sounds better for it by a larger degree. All this is subtle but resulted in just feeing more at ease and in tune with the music, more alive and incisive... I just enjoy turning it on and it being a bit more instantaneously bit lmore obviously like the spirit of the music itself.

With your science background would really be great to see what you experience with these as well as what you make of the science as I just start completely drowning when I go there... brain built for listening and not thinking... Am also wearing the YMMV badge here as I am only a seven dot and not a black belt in the ways of the quantum.

Kev, as Mr Miyagi may say... perhaps I waxed on when clearly I should have waxed off :-) thanks mate... Next I'm going to have to be treating my system using weird circular gestures with my hands... Aaaaahhh... The things we do for transparency.

Graham.......Until we see a couple of these in your sound room, we'll hold off calling the men in the white coats.

At least no one can see the stickers.

Dan - will avoid the scary wavy wood thing but am reminded by the picture of the time I came home in the early 90's and a friend staying with me had kindly bought me a Madonna Lily in a pot and had decided that a Proac Response 2 made for a perfect pot plant stand... they had thoughtfully well watered the Lily and so nearly provided much extra dampening for my speaker.

I definitely waxed off that time.

Graham.......That would have lit my fuse.
