Extreme Snake Oil


This actually made me angry to the point I wrote to the retailer.

The more I read the higher my blood pressure went. It's just (£2000 of) shameless bollocks (sorry moderators)

Good news - if you are not getting what you need from the silver there is a gold one that costs twice as much. Still furious ..

Reading the description we see:

QSA products incorporate Quantum Science Audio's proprietary technologies, including Musical Metal Molecule Alignment Technology (MMMAT) and Metal Active Technology (MAT). These technologies aim to promote efficient electron flow and enhanced conductivity within the products.

So lets take that at face value and imagine that within the adapter plug, the electrons are flowing more freely with improved vitality, mental health and well being.

Then they hit your crappy, non-magic power cable and the electrons now flow as they always did.

They then say, buy our magic power cable, but logic still applies... the electrons will now still flow as they always did within the components circuits... so nothing gained.

It's like the debate the tax payers have in the city 40km from me.... lets spend a gazillion dollars on improving the motorways all so they can get to the unsurmountable bottleneck of the still narrow inner city roads *** a bit sooner.

Sure you save 5 mins on your motorway trip but it still takes 30 mins to get across town.

Peter

*** this issue can only be solved by either knocking down all the buildings along the main inner city routes and rebuilding them around wider streets or building tunnels under the city....both technically feasible but not at a realistic cost.

I wish them a very efficient electron flow from clouds through air to their factory.

A nice fat lightning hit is exactly what they deserve.
 
Mind the arrow: it gives you the direction (where the money goes to, and don't believe that narrative of AC goes an returns :cool: )
If the AC is sitting on a DC bias, then there would be no change in current flow direction if the AC peaks don't exceed the DC bias level. You'd just have variations in a unidirectional current flow. Nonetheless, the fuses are silly.
 
I have a weird Idea.

Have you heard of quantum field organisers?

I know is b.s., I don’t see any non imaginary way this would work.

I’ve seen also things people call shuman optimisers, basically a bulb that you just turn on in the “listening” room.

I’ve seen wooden blocks that discharge cds and mirrors and make them sound great.

I’ve never seen objective reviews of this kind of things to definitively show if they do something or not. Bu dismissing this things outright, we give them opportunity to say that we are close-minded blinders wearers and we should just listen and decide for ourselves.

No mofos, I didn’t only listen, I also have physical evidence to supporting my statement that any sound improvement you perceive is imaginary.

I would like to propose to test the pinacle
of German engineering:
Stein Music - Blue Sun Quantum Organiser.

Imagine if it really optimises quantum…. but we don’t listen to the quantum directly we listen to music and that can be measured :)

We do listen to the operations of quantum mechanics in the form of the input of varying levels of energy in the form of a shortage or excess of electrons into electronic circuitry that result in music output. In electronics if one desires they can calculate how many electrons pass a given point at any time. As per musical waveforms they cannot be measured in any meaningful way as compared to sine waves and square waves which are standard references that can be used to calculate with complex number systems and other mathematical operations that explain the waveforms.

We’ve had actual quantum optimization for decades! Transistors and mosfets rely on quantum effects for their operations. They’ve gotten ever more efficient and linear thoughout the decades.
 
The problem with this is that most of the audiophile hobby is highly allergic to measurements.
We maybe able to throw a garbage truck of evidence in someone’s lap…but a) you need someone who actually understands what you’re saying plus b) you will always get the good ol’ ‘science can’t know everything’ back in return. Always!
You can lead a horse to karate y’know.

I agree with most of what you said. I will still try to educate and inform the masses about what is in the electronics operations and why musical waveforms are virtually useless for explaining the operations of electronics circuitry. If they choose to remain in delusions then so be it but I still try. :D
 
There was a review here of something which IIRC turned out to be a bit of wire in a box of potting compound. Unsurprisingly it didn't do anything. Unfortunately I can't find it - maybe someone else can.
Then there's this EMI meter which wasn't much use for audio, and probably anything else given its lack of specificity.
If you're willing to buy one and send it in you can ask Amir if he's willing to test it.

I think you mean the audiophool part of the hobby. They are the ones allergic to measurements. They are easy to spot because they says things like "on a sufficiently resolving system" or "your system is just not resolving enough" when championing snake oil products they have wasted money on.
 
Anyone even considering spending 700 euros on a quantum organiser is already beyond help.

Years ago now on here Amir measured the Entreq grounding box, no surprise it does nothing, but they're still in business and people are still spending thousands on them and advising others to do the same.

Maybe it’s just me who is broken after having spent way too much time over sites like Head-Fi, but to me audiophile = audiophool. The mere word audiophile makes me a little queasy.
I consider myself a music lover that happens to enjoy good sound:)
