In defense of quantum products.

Inpieces,
I have over 15 Bybee products in my system. They do exactly what you say. They have transformed my system.

I've been fortunate to have had friends lend me tweeks, high priced wires, IC's, bricks, stones, elevators, and the like, and NONE of them made any difference in sound at all. I'm just happy I spent my money on better equipment. Adding subs, a different set of speakers, eq's, going from SS to Tubes and things like that will make a difference in sound, but to me all of the tweeks mentioned are just a ripoff. Nice to see RW got a refund, and didn't have to learn the hard way, or fool himself into thinking the tweeks were working. Just enjoy the stereo.

"quantum (kwntm)
Plural quanta
A discrete, indivisible manifestation of a physical property, such as a force or angular momentum. Some quanta take the form of elementary particles; for example, the quantum of electromagnetic radiation is the photon, while the quanta of the weak force are the W and Z particles. See also quantum state.

Quantum is a useful concept or paradigm applied in many scenarios from the common to the more esoteric in many disciplines.

But I would be weary of its use specifically as a marketing device to make a home audio product appear more sophisticated or effective than perhaps it really is. Impressive sounding technical terms can easily be used to obfuscate the facts as a means of justifying a higher price/profit.

Accordingly, I would be suspicious of the value proposition for most any home audio product that heavily uses the term in its marketing literature. It may work or it may not. The value proposition is what matters. Its a common trick in marketing in general to overstate the value of a new or unique product based on some proprietary "gimmick". Nothing new or unique to home audio there!

Name one. One that you actually have experience with, that is.

I grow weary of neophobes. Especially ones whose knowledge of quantum
mechanics is limited to dictionary definitions. Lol

Yawn...
