PG Head Unit

martinkruit · Post by **martinkruit** » Fri Jan 18, 2008 11:34 pm

I saw on this forum somebody with a PG HU.

What is quality off this HU and does anybody know if they are still available?
If not is there a possibility to buy it used?

Only one made, Marko owns it.

It was similar to a denon z1

similar but not in the same league imo, the z1 is in the same league as nak cd700, top mcintosh's etc..

oh and mine won't be for sale any time soon, unless i find something that blows it away on sq

Well then i will keep on searching for a top HU, just blown 2 Sony's CDX C910RDS yjey sound great, (but could not handle the heat under my dash)
I'm going to try to repair the last one.

looks even nicer at night, those 2 little holes on the top left side have blue led's behind them just like the res of the TI line

They only made 1000 Z1's and they show up they usually go for big bucks.

I got a bunch of RFX-8250's they arent in the same league as the Z1's but they are made by denon and they do sound nice also. So if you wanted a cheaper alternative then get the 8250, the balanced is different though. It more of the zapco type of balanced (round), than the PG RJ45 balanced which the Z1 has

Jeezuz!!!!!!!!!!!

That is like two MS-1000, hehe...

Denon has the uglyest design ever, remember their HUs in the 90s....

what extras? as far as i know only cosmetics were changed, i know little about it myself other than it's based on the z1!

I saw there Balanced amps.. Denon. They do strange things that make me buying there stuff not so good of an idea.

does anyone have any experience with this denon deck??

http://cgi.ebay.com/DENON-DCT-A100-CAR- ... dZViewItem

I thought it was similar to the z1, but now im starting to think differently. Anyone use it?

nick-caper · Post by **nick-caper** » Sun Jan 20, 2008 10:41 am

I did have a old Denon headunit. I thought it was da shiznit. DCT970 I think. It was years ago. But it was really nice. Plain but sounded accurate. Thing I dont like about the balanced outs is that you cant use them with just anything. You have maybe 2 options. Denon amps or PG EQ's....

brenzbmr@sb · Post by **brenzbmr@sb** » Sun Jan 20, 2008 2:07 pm

iirc, it had numeous outputs for a complete balanced output, it had so many different jacks on the back of it that it would be a installers night mare to install in a tight location, looked to be usb type plugs with
other things. there were different processors in that lineup but
i was distracted by some guy when i was looking at it and never got to
investigate.

the one i have is no differant what so ever to a Z1 connection wise, don't know if they tweeked it internally or not but apart from the Ti cosmetics it's just a Z1....

specs wise, the Z1 seems to be much higher end compared to the nak cd700. I've got the nak cd400 which sound so good , cant imagine these babies.....

are the denon decks still in production....cant see them in the denon site ???

Also will cost you around $8k. Werewolf has said before this at any level in car audio, pro-audio, home-audio anything is the best head unit/proc. combo ever made. Better then the DEXQ.
