Unfortunately you see *****ers like that all the time. He got what he deserved, and will get even more when the CHP and courts are done with him. Fortunately he didn't kill someone else, this time...

shaizada, When you get yours, I'd love to come hear it, or if you want to come up to Palmdale with it, I'd love to demo it against my SWP9.0SE Signature Modwright Stage. Cheers Pete

The DynaFet, Kevin Gilmore's latest creation (Dynahi successor) is currently the subject of a group buy/build somewhere

I was using a Denon DL160 with my receiver's phono inputs, and later with a CIA VPP1 (40 db gain?) with no problems.

Just purchased the Zyx Airy3 0.24mv output, with cryoed crystal copper coils, and silver base, to replace my Denon DL-160

Quote: Originally Posted by Rob N I went on the advice of the UK distributor - 0.24v with copper coils Do you need the silver or gold headshell weight? What if I use any old headshell weight? Do I need the Zyx one?

Currently have the Denon DL160, but I just bought an SME 309 arm, and I am considering the Zyx Fuji cart. Any thoughts on 0.24 vs. 0.48 mv, copper vs silver coils?

The SACDmods 3930 is a great source and you won't be dissappointed. This is the second Denon I've had modded by Matt Anker, and I have always been quite pleased with the results. Lots of bang for your buck, and the mods are much more thorough than typical cap, diode and resistor modders...

no, the dots should be rock steady..... Call Kevin and KAB!

The Bellari VP129 is a decent little valve phono (according to Stereophile) for relatively cheap!

In constrast my Denon AVR-3808Ci has a horrible phono pre.... You never know until you hear another phono, if there is something better out there for you.

The Denon DL160 has a wide soundstage, good transparency, great highs and lows (very neutral) and is very low in groove noise. An all around great cart. I don't think you would be dissapointed with it, I know I'm not.

Chucked the Saturn pretty fast Doc Looks like some parts replacements but the same topology for the most part, op amps for the balanced outputs. I would not expect this even comes close to beating high end sources, and certainly not worth its doubled price tag... The clock does improve...

I'd be up for a So Cal meet

Senn cable is sheit..... You are better off using some canare or mogami quad for your recable...

I put it in the flame of a butane lighter and that burned off the coating.

Try posting at headwize in the DIY/Dynahi amp thread

What gain do you have your Dynahi set at? If it is too low and you have a lower impeadance headset plugged in it could get unstable.

I have seen Cardas prototype Senn connectors. Hopefully they will soon be in production.

The Mogami neglex copper balanced (quad) mic cable W2893 (26gauge) or W2534 (24gauge) sounds very good, I like it better than Cardas.
