WA-Quantum GmbH's Quantum Chips

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.

Wa Quantum Chips and Musical Instrument Effects.
I have previously posted my results for the Quantum Chips at Audio Assylum-Tweeks forum. In summary on my two audio systems (1)speaker and (2) headphone, there was a significant change but not one that I cared for long term.

I also ordered an instrument chip and here are the results.
With the help of noted professional musician Jason Reed of the rock group the "Liars", the chip was placed on an acoustic guitar. Immediate and noticeable change. "The good gualities of this guitar's tone are made better with the chip attached". The chip was taken off the next day and placed on a second guitar and then the original test guitar. A decrease in effect was heard (which puzzled all listeners) with both guitars, but a lesser effect was still present.
Next the same chip was placed on the viola of Ron Smith of the El Paso Texas Symphony. A decrease in lower vibrations (bass) was heard but note decay was prolonged. He felt the chip might be useful for a soloist but would make a group player's instrument stand out.
For the past two weeks the chip has been on my son's viola (high school player). The viola's sound is shifted upward with a prolongation of note decay. He feels the effect the last few days has become stronger.
These chips are fascinating to say the least.

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.

"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."

Take something relatively simple, say a flute. How does the chip affect the sound? I.e., what is the operating mechanism? Or a bass drum - what would be the operating mechanism?

The WA web site states there is an audible change with pianos. I would put it on the piano's soundboard. Professional drummer Drew Hubbard just tried the chip on his drum set- tom-tom an audible change, the kick drum -no change.
Also interesting is the effect of Synergistic Research's Quantum Tunneling. There is a significant change to the sound of acoustic instruments when their strings are treated. I have heard the change on cello strings, viola strings, and Fender Strarocaster electric guitar strings..
