In Reply to: RE: Why would someone name his CD Transport Quantum? Nt posted by geoffkait on July 27, 2016 at 08:26:40
No you're absolutely correct , but who's to say that everyone who would be willing to spend this much on a transport really understands that there's more to building a great music system than just "throwing money at it".
I can think of any number of times I've been underwhelmed by music systems that were multiple the cost of my system. What's the old saying about judging a book by iIt's cover. For the most part I'm not so sure "Audiophiles" are that concerned with advertising copy.as they're not a group you have to go out of your way to interest them in this level of equipment.

Maybe I'm a dummy, But why would anyone be upset about the name Quantum?
This is a custom built Transport, and worth way more then the price.
I'm not rich, and this was a major purchase for me. I almost didn't get it because I really had to scrape my pennies together for some time. I built most of my system myself, and chose the designs carefully. And then built them with the best parts I could afford.
$3K may seem like a lot of money, but have you shopped lately for a dedicated transport? Good ones don't come cheap.
I just thought people would like to know about a new transport for 3K that has been compared to 10K units. I thought that is what this forum was for. I'm very sorry if I was mistaken.
He,he,,he........ I'm with you there, on the reasoning to be upset about what a product was
named !!! (It was Geoff whose wires "got crossed" over the name)..
I'm pretty sure there are several forum members here who are appreciative of your posting on this transport. I made the mistake of trying to "second guess" why it may have been named this. As the kids say these days "My Bad"
Quantum dots, Quantum Corp Electraclear, WA Quantum Chips, quantum tunneling, quantum teleportation, quantum superposition. Quantum Temple Bell. These products strike fear and loathing deep, deep into the hearts of audiophiles everywhere! Don't they?
;-)
Some are for real: Double slit experiment, Quantum entanglement

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_entanglement
Quantum CD transport is real as well.
Thank you very much for your feedback, Anthony !

I don't doubt that it's an excellent CD Player but why the word Quantum? Is there some significance? Do you have a double slit inside the player? Perhaps you just like the word. I am the inventor of the Super Intelligent Chip (quantum), the Ultra Clever Clock (quantum) and the Quantum Temple Bell (Quantum), not to mention the Teleportation Tweak (yup, Quantum. Those are real quantum.
I'm an optoelectronic engineer who developed a strong passion for astrophysics and quantum mechanics. I know, each of these is on the other side of the physics, but are in very strong relation.
Few years back we started to develop a range of amplifiers:
quasar, pulsar and supernova. Each name represent a characteristic of the amplifier. I'll not boring you with the details.
On the digital side we had quark and now we work on gluon. Gluon is a dht dsd/pcm dac in three "colours" (versions), that will make the link between quantum and amplifiers.
Well this is a short and rough explanation for Quantum name.
On other side, in every transistor, diode, tube or passive electronic component lies a lot of quantum physics. Entire electronic is driven by quantum mechanics world. So, why not Quantum ?
Why are you interested in a name instead of what make Quantum different from other CD transports ?

The cd laser is quantum mechanical too. I'm just messing with you. Good luck with your endeavor.
Yes, lasers are most used in quantum mechanics because of the photon duality, wave/particle.
Thank you !

CD lasers are quantum wells: Quantum confinement in Two dimensions. My Super Intelligent chips use quantum dots which are examples of quantum confinement in three dimensions.
