I noticed in the schematic there are two 'mods' that say "for Simulclass" and in both cases it appears to be an effort to brighten up the Simulclass preamp to account for what I assume is a darker power section. I'd love play an H and a D side by side before I buy one. I'll prob never have a K.Bxlxaxkxe":2ohip69e said:Never played anything that is quite like the DRG I have now.

And here lies the differences in our ears. I had a purple and a red stripe III, at the same time as my first SRG C+. Huge difference to me.

But recordings of the two were essentially indistinguishable to me.

FWIW the III has one of those giant power transformers. It was actually inherently brighter than the C+. Had to dial down the III to make them similar, but it got there to my ears.
Both IIIs were DRGs too. I have heard the early no stripes are closer due to the 105 PT. But without the proper RP/SP 10 pre board it ain’t happening.cardinal":bkmdcq7x said:Racerxrated":bkmdcq7x said:And here lies the differences in our ears.

Early black dot I'm assuming?
