Dynavector P-75 mods?


Hi, I've recently acquired a P-75MKII, and I'm thinking of having it modded. Anyone had one done? Most of my gear has been done already by Dave Schulte, with great results. Just wondering how much can be gained by modding on something this good already.

Thanks all. Dan

Hey thanks, Cytocycle. I just had a look at your system. WOW! Did I see right, are those Wilson Alexandria's in the photos, or am I seeing things? And you are going to Maxx2's, right? What a hell of a nice system. All I can say is mine sounds pretty good for what it is, and I'm happy for the most part (part of the fun is scratching and clawing for a little better sound), but I'd be just as happy with your system. No, make that friggin' ecstatic! Congrats!

Best regards,
Dan
Got so excited looking at your system I forgot to mention that under the little Dyna are three Vibrapods. A little weight on top is good too, eh? The VPI SDS is on my wish list, maybe next income tax return (this one already earmarked for room changes and other house-related issues).
Islandmandan: thank for the compliments it's been 20 years in the making and lots of mistakes... I have Maxx 1's currently and I look forward to getting them upgraded to Maxx 2's this summer hopefully (Depending on how much vinyl I buy)
Are you sure the P75 weighs enough for the vibrapod rating? that's why I suggested something on top of it. I found that the vibrapods in my systems over the years reduced some of the detail.

another option for the SDS is a PS Audio PS 300 (you don't need the multiwave I or II, just the base model) you would just need to watch out for units that are too old (caps might be ready to pop)....
The Maxx I's may be taller in the top cabinet, at least I thought so, that's why I thought they were Alex's. I've seen and heard the Maxx2's at Definitive Audio in Seattle. Very impressive.
The Dyna weighs next to nothing. I thought a little isolation might help. I'll look around and see what I can use for a weight for it.
Thanks and regards,
Dan
I have a Dynavector P-75, and it had a broken RCA jack(cheapplastic). I replaced the 2 RCAs with Vampire cryoed, gold over copper, and cryoed single crystal copper and silver jumpers to the board. It not only fixed the problem, the difference in sound quality was amazing. I'm going to replace the 3 little ps caps with Blackgates ($7.each), and possible send the whole unit out to be Cryoed. Besides the mass loading and feet, i was wondering if a sealed lead battery would improve the sound. I know they say the external ps does not matter, but i would think that running "off the grid" should sound better, i haven't tried the battery yet but the unit is 12V so it will easy to try.
