In defense of quantum products.

There are many audio products that have the word quantum in their name. The brand names Synergistic Research, Bybee and Kemp and Audio Magic come to mind. There are others.

Frankly, some of the explanations for these products are difficult for me to understand. I understand the general theory of quantum physics but when it comes to the details I often find myself getting lost very quickly. Are the explanations offered up by makers of quantum products accurate or not? And does it really matter? Is audio about understanding what manufacturers say or about enjoying the music?

Personally, I am only concerned whether the product works in my system. If the explanation is satisfactory but it does not deliver I could not care less about the theories offered in their defense. Happily, I have been lucky with products from Synergistic Research, Bybee and Audio Magic. I have not used any Kemp products yet.

What have your experiences been with quantum products?

Well, I did exactly that with Machina Dynamica's (Geoff Kait) Teleportation Tweak. He offered a money-back guarantee. I purchased the product and Geoff administered the tweak. The result? Absolutely NO change in the sound-quality of my system. I told Geoff of this and he immediately refunded my money. He ALSO removed his money-back guarantee. Now that's what I call standing behind your product!!!

Most of these wacky, way-out products are exactly that - a way to separate gullible audiophiles from their money. No thanks, I'm trying to quit...
