Trichord DIno

[Mikeandvan]

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.

No, after everyone and their aunt saying the upgraded power supply was much better I gave it a miss, another one ending soon on ebay, fingers crossed.

Just won one on ebay for £200 posted, with Dino +, description was a bit brief, hope its ok! Where do I get this 'trichord cable' from?

Just use the standard supplied cable, the upgraded cable only makes a subtle differences and I mean subtle.

You will find a replacement cable off eBay for around £30-£40 IIRC, I looked at a longer cable for mine not so long ago to get the power supply further away from the pre but they were .75m I think.

Cable is missing, wondering how to get cheapy replacement.

Damn, my £200 Dino wasn;t such a bargain after all then!

You can sell the original PSU to cover the cost so It's still a very good buy Mike there's a company on eBay that sells a copy of the upgraded Trichord cable for around £40 or a standard for around £20.
There are a couple of MM settings on the Dino I find the low output one better with my Audio Technica MM you can flick between the two as your playing a record so it's easy to find out.

I’ve been moving towards more home made hifi (speakers, deck, preamp and now phono stage). Now my Bigbottle phono stage is working I have a Mk2 Dino and Dino+ sitting unused. If anyone wants to give it a new home let me know and I’ll send some pics. Any reasonable offer considered.
It may even have the upgraded cable, but I wouldn’t swear to it as I’m not confident about the difference.

HI Dom,
I have tried pm'ing you but not sure if your msg board is full.
