I owned the Qutest, until today, and have also moved up to a TT2. The Qutest was a very nice step up in a DAC and I knew it was special, literally from the very first song.
Yes, the TT2 is better an I am using it with Empy and VO.

I see you sail. Looks like the Gorge

 

[nwavesailor]

Yes, it is The Gorge and I do really LOVE to windsurf!

I (foolishly) thought I'd be out sailing by now seeing we are all WAY more than 6' apart, BUT the govt. types found it easier to just close all the WA and OR launches!

Hopefully these will open soon. Do you windsurf?

 

[Icenine2]

Used to. Kids and family. Sometime this next year I hope to take it up again. Excellent for you.

Not to divert the thread . . . but this is me on the Solway Firth in the UK.

It is a not very wide bit of sea on the west coast between England and Scotland. (You can see Scotland on a good day).

The locals there have a saying . . . . . . .

"If you can't see Scotland it is raining. If you can see Scotland it is going to rain."

NICE!

Gotta know..........Did you make that jump or was it an ugly landing? Sure make my jibe (gybe) look pretty boring.

Made it as far as I recall. It was pretty windy that day during the Christmas holidays a few years ago.

Do not undermine your gybe, there is nothing as sweet as planing all the way through a gybe!

Are you associated with NorthWave sails? Great stuff.

My only association to Northwave is having sailed their great sails for close to 30 years and they do give me a discount! Not a team rider.

Still being made in The Gorge, Oregon which is a pretty special. I ask my friends using other brands " What part of The Gorge is Sri Lanka?"

Hah! I sailed Sailworks for 15 years. Used to have Doyle hollow boards too

 

[nwavesailor]

Doyle's were GREAT boards!

 

[Icenine2]

Yes. Really nice. I had an 8-10 I just loved in medium wind.

I recall that in childhood I was engaged in fencing. Can I talk about this? Why not?

I fenced my Qutest to get a TT2 LOL

I hear ya! I used some 'Magical' thinking to justify the cost of the Qutest.

#1) purchase price of Qutest applied to TT2
#2) Sold SS amp and using the TT2 amp for HP
#3)Uncle Sugar's stimulus $$$!

ONLY $1300 'NEW' dollars. That is the 'Magical' justification part!
