PeteM Posted December 20, 2009 Report Share Posted December 20, 2009 Can anyone tell me if there is a difference in the crystal DSN supplies in his 127 or 217 ultimates to the gen crystal he sells seperately. Well he refers too it as gen I assume its Genlike? For $120 Amongst other things I refer to the shape of the crystal and the AR Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For $120 Amongst other things I refer to the shape of the crystal and the AR Thanks I know that there is different saffire crystals from DSN but I do not know what the crystal looks like if You buy one now!? Some of them is a little more flat on the top and some are "round" all the way! The distortion on the crystals seems to vary ( but also the genuine 127/217 crystals have DIFFERENT distortion according to frontpictures of genuine ones!) a lot! I know that the AR coating on the DSN is way to blueish but that is quite easy to remove Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteM Posted December 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2009 Thanks. I remember Lani mentioned the doming difference with the gen, I just wondered if DSN's Ultimate crystal was different to his seperately sold crystal for that reason but going on your reply its hit and miss! Personally I have found the easiest way to tell the difference from a gen to a rep with the distortion is the way the 9 and 3 reflect against the glass when you see a lume shot. I have never removed AR myself but I didnt think it was that easy, I know Chief advocated a mini buffer and some cream, cant remember name at moment (is it red something?) But I have read the CC will do it. I suppose it depends on whose AR it is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeteM Posted December 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2009 I can say now the crystals are the same, the ones in his 127/217 ultimates are the same ones he sends out as parts with same AR and shape Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
