BLI Sound? You like it?

<p>My BLI B&O NW Switchers *There are two.. 9550 and 9512 are QSI version 7 running under manual 4.1 These chips are the best QSI can put in. RTC is how these two runs together all the time and they speed match each other perfectly after a few moments.</p><p>Ive had to place my E7 Passenger units under the older QSI Version 6 chips with 3.1 manual into Standard throttle control so that each engine's identical machanisms work together to maintain the same work effort minus the occasional track dirt or gap. I could upgrade these E7's AGAIN to version 7 chips and use the RTC and am thinking on it.</p><p>Keep in mind BLI dropped the QSI in favor of thier new Blueline. You probably can get earlier BLI engines with QSI from previous runs.</p><p>I must reinforce that PCM is usually LOKsound. The main difference to me was that loksound had a tape of a sort and played it's own length. You could not "Play" the horn and get a true "Short toot" as you could with the QSI.</p><p>There are other non QSI sound units out there, like MRC of Athearn/Roundhouse fame. It is my firm opinion that MRC should stay away from making decoders. No matter what you do with CV's to one extreme or the other the unit would stop like a brick wall or start like a horse slapped with a hot brand iron.</p><p>I still retain my video of the Roundhouse MRC for your viewing pleasure if you would like I can upload it again along with the BLI NW's.</p><p>Sound is wonderful but keep in mind that sometimes having three sets of desiels idling (With what? 9-12 seperate individual engines?) away in the new yard is very much the nap-inducing lullaby to a old driver like me. So the sound is off once in a while =)</p>
