With or without 'upgraded' power supply, I'm guessing it doesn't make a blind bit of difference, anyone tell me different? I got a G Slee era v jobbie, but Dino takes both mm and mc all in de one box, that's what I call music.

Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

I used to own a Trichord Dino with a Never Connected Power Supply and upgraded umbilical chord. Superb Phonostage and power supply which was only beaten by a vastly more expensive Phonostage.

I used to have the Diablo with NCPSU and upgraded cable, the ncps does make a significant improvement! Very fine phono stage but I now use and prefer the Puresound P10 and T10.

I'm afraid that, in this case, the upgraded PSU does make a BIG difference.

Are you talking about the Dino+ power supply compared to the supplied power supply or NCPS?
I bought mine second hand with the Dino+, I realised one day that it was not working so bought a standard supply with the intention of getting the Dino+ fixed. I then realised it had blown the slow blow fuse so it was only used briefly. I could try some comparisons and get back to you with my findings or alternatively send me a PM and we could maybe arrange a loan of my DINO+

Yep I had the Diablo and the NCPS, I'm afraid that I agree, it's a much better phonostage WITH the NCPS.

I've had a Dino Mk1 & 2 with NCPSU and also a Mk2 with standard psu all excellent but the NCPSU was much, much better. Last week I won an auction for a Mk1 with Dino + and it's also excellent.
Did you buy the Mk2 on eBay from someone in Brighton I did see that but knew I'd want the upgraded PSU to go with it so went with the Mk1. That was a good buy though at £185.
