Thank you for the advice. I'll make sure to change the headshell for the metal version before I mount the Dava.

DaVa FC-A1 a field coil contender

Correct idea, but insufficient solution to prevent your records from becoming crispy critters under the stellar radiation of a DAVA cart. There is a much more elegant solution from my PC building / overclocking days given the specific heat of water: 4180 J/(kg.K). My design also allows you to effortlessly run the FC wiring along the cooling apparatus. Please note : due to the heat generated by the DAVA which must be shunted away from everything not made of pure copper to prevent meltage/ignition, you will need a sizeable radiator.
Interestingly, the Lithuanian military has found a novel, non-sonic use for DAVA carts in cutting through heavy armour that requires obscene temperatures when thermite can’t get the job done. Large defense contract pending final approval, I hear. Typically military needs drive civilian applications, yet here you have the opposite where a significant engineering flaw turns out to be a driving innovation in the military-industrial complex. Go figure!
Semper Fi!

DaVa PS cubed.
Finished construction of 2 DaVa Field Coil damper diode PS's under difficult circumstances here while we go through some life events.
One is for my friend Rick Mak of Analog Magik fame and PT Audiophile, and one is for my other friend - the Canadian Kuzma distributor who has surmised that FC's add so much more excitement and energy to the experience he's adding the DaVa to Audio Note FC he received earlier this year.
I realized that I dislike construction now more than ever- the chassis work is a real pain if you don't have a machine shop.
The DaVa + safir combo is over the top.

NIce work! I do need to try a tube PS on my DaVa carts at some point soon.
If it weren't for all the diy required I'd get into a DaVa myself.
If only there was someone offering a complete installation in uk

No DIY required if you stick to the DaVa supplied pieces. The only thing you need to do is route the wires over your arm.
Darius will come and install for you, just ask him.
last experiment with the dava + Kuzma XL and Vpi Fat Boy…… a delight
Also note the ground wire not connected to anything without having any significant background noise

Silver yes for Darius’ , kondo Of course is all silver, Rada input is silver output is copper- it’s very good
Yes Dava needs a step up into Io- Etsuro goes straight in on the other input.
I’ve got major changes coming on the analog front so - I need to get these trials done before everything is different again.
New model from DaVa appeared on my facebook feed. Major.

7ohm impedance 0.5 output. Previously it was 025 mV out. Conical and alum cantilever, replaces A1 and reference.
