Those first GGA's were a joke. I got the first two sets to test along with Gary Storms AT Pro. They gave me special instructions, don't mess Gary's machine up...I took the 2 sets of GGA's and threw them in the pool and let them set overnight, under 8 foot. We all know how that went...both leaked, the china factor swore it was because they were flown over in a non pressurized compartment on the plane. Doc's amp rocked in PP on the excalibur..If the "AQ" is as "Silent as they say Between the Skullie tubes and Doc's amp I know we can get a lot more out of it..... in all metal only. " check out my 2012 video of docs amp on a 8 inch excalibur..air test but it gives a good idea of what we are listening for when we swing...the target audio does not stop on deep target on the excalibur, they are there but way below our hearing range...a good set of phones will open up a area unheard with regular HP's..I'm hoping the same holds true with the Impulse "AQ".... Another test I want to run once we have a "AQ" is to see if it has any Hot spots on the coil. Checking the send fields reach and see if there are any blank/weaker areas of the send field. This test helped me realizing that the send field strongest point is kind of small on the excalibur....So to get the deepest targets coil control is very important in area's that have the highest chance of holding old deep gold. To hear the send field a Audiosears 2463 speaker is used only

Alexandre, Thank You, I will be excited to check out the changes on the detectorpro audio headset since I helped design and test them in 2012/2013. Originally designed for the Garrett UW series detectors I was more excited once Carter and Barry gave me the Ok to test them on the Excaliburs, which we sold 100's of them once we seen how well they worked. And Now to end up on the "Impulse AQ" !! Another set that I'll be excited about testing on the Impulse "AQ" for all metal hunting only. This is going to be fun...

Love to see something in that size range since digging deep holes while hunting in the water can be difficult Pinpointing .........with a big coil. One addition I would like to see is a right angle Souriau fitting which I'm in search of...thinking it maybe a little safer then straight one that comes with the "AQ"s 12.5 coil.........The 45 right angle connector would come down to the shaft where it could be tied off and more stable. Also something I can change myself once the 2 year warranty is over.

I fully agree, just as much treasure in learning and I see now this is the place. Thank You. And Thanks Again Rick, Alex, and LE JAG.

Thank You Rick! I like this Forum better Already and only been here for 24 hours.

No doubt the GGA ll's, a very good choice and I might say the best for what is out there.. Be interesting to how much more we can squeeze from the "AQ" with a set of custom phones. Maybe even running a Doc's Audio amp with the "AQ" in all metal. From watching the one video I sure see it working. Can't wait to play with it, not only tinkering but hunting.

I don't believe the rear cables will be a issue on the "AQ" if one is aware of them, Mine have been extended from the rear for several years now on the Excalibur. Never even though about it until I seen the post here. Thanks for sharing Rick!
