I tried putting a small Wima in parallel with the Silmic, and it sounded very strange, almost phasey on some musical tones. Never heard anything so artificial come from my system, hope to never again. The same small cap across a Panny FM had no such resonance distortion and did improve the sound a bit, but it was still pretty "edgy" and bright.
Okay, I'll bite: what the heck is a WA quantum chip?
By your "modified Wima," I assume you mean where you remove the steel leads and attach copper? What a pain in the butt! In critical signal areas, I just avoid Wima MKP altogether if I can. FKP is actually a decent cap, but limited sizes available. Amtrans caps are superb, as are most polystyrene's with non-magnetic leads.
Peace,
