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.

Hello T.

Good to see you active on A'gon. Like Larry states, this is solid science.

As I offered you and I extend that offer to any of the A'goners in the San Francisco Bay Area, I would be more than happy to set up an audition of a unit in your system, at your home. As the SF Bay Area dealer, I am more than happy to accommodate.

Just give me a call to set up the experience.

Doug, Just an FYI... Larry is not one for blogging so most likely he will not continue in this blog.

What I can say is that Larry is a very impressive man and always willing to discuss technology the old school way...via telephone. This is truly his preferred method of communication as since it is an efficient method of communication, I would encourage anyone interested in this technology to contact him for an enjoyable conversation.

There is also much info on the BSG website www.bsgt.com about their Qol product and the company in general.

As well, I am available to discuss the product. For those Audiophiles in the San Francisco Bay Area, I am available for a demonstration, if you are an interested customer.

Do date, I have many many hours of auditioning the Qol product and here are some of my findings thus far.

1) The product truly adds to a music listening experience

2) It performs much more ideal with digital music and high quality vinyl. I am not refering to the recording era but rather the condition of the vinyl itself.

3) It aids much more effectively in lower to mid-grade high end systems.(I have not yet listened in a consumer grade setup) I am not saying it does not still provide a WOW factor in ultra high end systems. In such ultra high end systems (what most of us dream about having)the quality of music is already just so good that the Qol product just does not seem to have much more to do to capture the listener so possibly too much of a good thing may apply here.

So, if you are thinking about upgrading components, one should first consider adding a Qol signal completion stage as it may be much more cost effective and simplistic than going the upgrade route...oh, and most likely a more pleasurable listening experience in the end.

I am available for local in-house demos...

Douglas, i said ULTRA hifi.... say, $80k+ systems. If that is what you consider standard hifi, then you may have all the money and equipment you need already and the qol may or may not be for you.

But even in these ultra hifi systems, I hear an improvement so I think that says alot.

You should have a listen for yourself and see if that changes your mind. I have always beed a signal purist myself but after hearing the product, my thoughts about interjecting another component in the signal path changed 180°.

I don't think BSG is going to give anyone their secret sauce just yet so do yourself a favor and just have a listen....it just may put a smile on your face.

Feel free to call me as well....I am always available for friendly and optimistic conversation.
Phil,

As a technical person myself, I had many of the same thoughts and reservations you seem to have. I am not one for mystery but rather facts. I then did myself a favor and approached BSGT for an audition. Fact...I loved it and it did what it was supposed to do without diminishing the fidelity of the music. As a signal purist, this was extremely important to me.

I liked it so much that I immediately became a dealer and added it to my line of wonderful brands of gear and our line of custom music servers.

I have said this in a previous post and will say it again. I don't think BSGT is going to give their secret sauce to anyone, anytime soon. That said, do yourself a favor and have a listen. You may just be pleasantly surprised and inspired to listen to your entire music collection with Qol to hear what you have been missing all these years.

Ozzy, I am happy to hear you are loving the unit. That comment has not even started to get old to my ears.

If you or anyone is in the San Francisco Bay Area, I would be happy to audition a unit for you, at our shop or at your home. Just give us a call... setonav.com 510-279-2600
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! :)
