Monday night I received an email from my Parasound dealer. He told me that we could meet somewhere half way between his location and mine on Tuesday mourning. It worked for me and I agreed to bring cash, since we were meeting on the road. It kind of made me feel as if I was on my way to make a drug deal.
I left 7:30 on Tuesday mourning for our 8:30 meeting. At 8:20 my cell phone rang and this was how the conversation began. "Where are you?" "I don't know, where are you?" "I don't know." I was shocked, because it only took us about five minutes to find each other after that call. I didn't expect that do to the way that intelligent conversation started out. I guess it was my lucky day. I thought for sure that I would be searching for him much longer then that. I guess he knew when to call.
Both of us ended up pulling off the side of a four lane highway just before a toll booth. He got out of his truck and was making his way through the knee
deep grass to get to me. I opened up the back door of my truck and he set the C1 inside. He pointed to a sticker on the box that said that the DPLIIx update was loaded onto the C1 at the factory. I then gave him the money and he began to count it right there while standing between my truck and the on coming traffic. He messed up the count and had to start counting the money all over again, so I told him to go sit in his truck to count it. He did so,
and when he was done counting we talked audio stuff for about a half of an hour and parted ways.
At 10:30 I placed it in the empty hole in my rack, and I had it wired up by 11:15. By 1:30pm I had been through all the menus and had it set up close to the way that I thought I would be leaving it. Then it took me from 1:30 to 3:30 just to dial in the aux. channels #9 & #10, which I'm using for my front effect speakers. I was now getting a little frustrated , because up to this point I didn't have to open the manual. I've been reading the darn thing on and off now for a couple of months. I down loaded the manual about a year ago with about 20 other processor brands. I must have it memorized by now.
I hate having to read the manual while doing a set-up. It slows me down when I want to be hearing what it sounds like. Another half an hour went by &
I felt rather good about the way I had the C1 set-up.
I want to tell you more about how the rest of the day went, but I'm nuts to be here now when I could be listening and tweaking. :W So, I'll be back in a day or two to let you know what I think. So far so good.
Thanks for discussing this processor with me over the last year.
