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?

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

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

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

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?

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....

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 ???
