Know anything about the BSG Technologies QOL?


Hi there, I just saw a local dealer advertising this on craigslist, They wont tell you anything about it except it works, it half sounds like snake oil and half sounds like it could be something.

They claim it is all analog and retrieves inner detail and has the "WOW FACTOR".

My guess after talking to the guy is is might be disgned around smoothing out microphone curves maybe? or sending out a ton of above 20KHZ info to do some pshycho acoustic/room type thing?

I'm just tripped out they wont tell you anything except, well set it up, if you like it awesome if not dont buy it.

I am genuinely intrigued to see if its truly real and if anyone has expreience. It would be nice to save a long drive to hear something or have something to look forward to on the drive.

The Audio Research SDP1 operates as a matrix unit in the analog mode. Ordinarily, you would take a preamp output and connect it to the SDP input. I used the second output of the Qol and put it into the input of the SDP. I am not using the front channel outputs of the SDP, but taking the Output 1 of the Qol straight to the basic amp. In other words, I am not taking the front output from the SDA1, just the rear channels.
This setup produces a believable illusion, and all the levels are controlled by the main preamp.
As an aside, I would say that I have been entering into all kinds of hi fi discussions on the net, and this is the first one where all participants are helping each other with a new, untried product. I am sure that the usual prejudices of orthodoxy will eventually creep in. I have already gotten some flack from the purists at the Sound Lab Owner's Group, where I first brought up the topic of Qol.
Preale: Like someone said earlier.. "stereo is also just an effect". That's so true, you have 2 speakers trying to create the illusion of the room. So now the QOL is also an effect, and apparently doing a nice job by adding to the 2 channel setup. I would love to hear it, but I wouldn't order one for the 30 day trial as I know it would go back because I can't afford it. I'm going to AXPONA in Jacksonville, FL in March and I hope to hear one there.
Speaking of Stereo and Qol in the same topic and the anticipation of naysayers...here is a hilarious video that was brought to my attention and I think it is quite appropriate for this topic of emerging technologies. Enjoy! :)

I'm convinced. Send the demonly QOL back, or better yet throw it on a bonfire. Oh wait... todays kids don't even have normal ears. They have big holes, or spikes in them. Maybe a QOL is just what they need. I'm not sure now... I will write my congressman. They will guide me correctly.
Great video. Actually, I was compelled to use monaural LP's when I first started teaching music at UCLA. The then Chairman of the Dept.thought that the sound was more "honest." (of course, he wore two hearing aids.).
