Just regarding the new Abyss42 regs I just bought. I dived them yesterday and found it pretty good
although the reg I was trying to improve on ( an Oceanic Delta 4 with CDX5 1st stage) I think breathes quite as bit easier than it.
That was a bit of a shame as I was led to belive it may have been a fair bit better. I was wondering if I am getting
the full performance straight out of the box or if they might need a tune.
thanks for any help
 
I would have the shop check the reg for proper adjustment. You should not be able to discern a difference. I recommend having the IP set to 140-142psi and the cracking effort set to 1.0-1.2". These two test take less than five minutes to complete.

I agree. Sounds like your regulator is just not adjusted properly. Most stores will bench test your new product prior to sending you on your way, incase they need a little tweak from out of the box.
I'm sure you will like it once it's tuned properly.
