NeverSatisfied is getting a fresh d500

Here's part of the circuit if you want to build your own. *Forgot to add, the L10 is the non remote unit version* From what I've read, the circuits are the same other than the remote add-on. You may find the L10 at a cheaper price.
Very interesting circuit, eh? No opamps. Intriguing. May try this on a PL2000 sized board with Jim's idea of daughter boards for the pots. Much more research needed first.

All this Acurus talk is tempting me, how much better are they than the upgraded PL P3600? I have external phono stages so no problem without it built in.

Don't know about the 3600 but Joe (and possibly Lee) have had the Acurus put through the wringer and the Acurus can't be beat. You know it too when you insert the RL-11 into your system. The Carver/PL phono sections are very excellent designs (through the years have not changed by Bob), so finding a suitable quiet/sensitive phono amp was a requirement. There is some junk out there and the route I chose was tested thoroughly after the changes to the original. There are a few upgrades for the RL-11 but mine is so nice that I haven't given any of the upgrades a second thought. Ask Joe and Lee, they'll tell you about the Acurus.

Two questions:
How much for the remote kit?
What is the difference between the L10 schematic shared and the RL11?

From what I've read, the only difference between the two is the remote ability. I downloaded that schematic last year, and kind of temporarily gave up further research as I couldn't find a power supply schematic at that time. I have read that Klipsch will email the schematics if asked.

The price of the remote kits are about $75 but there is no paperwork, it took many hours to match up the parts to figure out where to hook them in and what posts to use on the kit..... A LOT of work
 
The kit has the capability of remote volume and remote power on/off but I don't hook up the on/off portion since it could be catastrophic if you hit the power off accidently while jamming and then panic makes it possible to power it back on and if the AMP is rocking, and you cycle preamp power you may suddenly find the legendary KABOOM we see sometimes.

Mine is bone stock and a keeper. All that I use for stereo listening. I use no faders, equalizers, tone controls, etc. in my lab system where I use the Acurus.
