Anyone HEARD the qol 'signal completion' device?

Douglas_schroeder, I find your comments and observations direct and to the point -- very helpful. After listening to the QOL in your system, does this add up to a component you will consider adding to your own system -- or not?

Douglas_schroeder, thanks for letting me know. I don't have the QOL and have never heard it but I was interested in the talk about the phase. At the moment I am experimenting with inverting the phase using speaker wires in parallel. This makes quite a different vis a vis the sense of "being there". There is often a sense of flatness to the holographic sound images. I know this is paradoxical but it is as though the holographic images are not being heard at their full 3D potential. They are is a "rounding out" when the phase is inverted. The sound images have a heightened "there-ness" to them with phase inversion. They simply have a feeling of being more real.

I don't know if this makes sense -- it is hard to put this into words. But my system is at the point where you can discern these subtle changes.

Douglas_schroeder, I agree with you completely about not accepting marginal improvements. You can't get exceptional results if you accept mediocrity. Why waste time with inferior products? Unless you dismiss them quickly, it takes more time and effort to evaluate them that it does to evaluate superior products. I have tried so many cables, components, add-ons and tweaks -- as many of us have. Most are not worth more than a quick "hello good-bye". There is no reason to accept anything less than spectacular. It's like music. Why accept a mediocre recording when you can have a first-rate remaster?

Ozzy,

Douglas_schroeder stated:

"I conducted my assessment of QOL in my own room with multiple systems."

You state:

"I suspect you did't [sic] even try one."

What's up here? If you don't like someone's opinion then just say so. If you make this kind of inane statement then you open yourself up to having others say the same thing about you.

Douglas_schroeder, your comments are spot-on. Ozzy's reasoning is skewed and contradictory.

First he states:

"All you are saying is that more is less. That line we all agree."

Then he states:

"Don't discredit an item just because you have to add another set of interconnect cables."

In effect, he is saying "more is less" -- then is saying "more is more".

It looks like you hit a nerve. Disagreement is fair game. But Ozzy's use of the word "discredit" is clearly inappropriate. This is an attempt to discredit you by turning your observations and opinions into a personal matter.

Jon2020,
This is an interesting observation -- one that I had not heard before. Since I live overseas, taking their 30-day trial could get complicated -- and expensive, with all the back and forth shipping. Based on what you have to say, the QOL does not sound like it has the sonic attributes that would take my system where I want it to go. I was curious about the QOL but I will not let my interest go any further.

Jon2020,
Yes, my system is very resolving and has reached a level of continuity and holography that I really never thought it would reach.

Thank you for your observations. I find them very informative. In fact, they are so detailed that I wonder why they have never been reported in similar way before. Is no one else hearing what you are reporting here? Are your observations specific only to your system?

The only reports I have read about the QOL are either glowing ones -- with few specifics -- or vaguely negative ones where the individual decided to return the QOL.
