I am looking for a Vintage Double Hose Phoenix 1st stage for my RAM. VDH is out of stock, so if anyone has a used one they'd like to sell I'm buying. It looks like this:

True, but the Phoenix also adds HP and LP ports. Which may be part of AD's reasons. An alternative is to use a RAM or Cyclone, in conjunction with an LP splitter off the hookah port and a valve with an HP port. Not as clean as the Phoenix, but works well for me.If you have a RAM you do not need a Phoenix 1st stage. The Phoenix replaced the 1st stage on a DA to make it a RAM.
Yep, turning a DH into a more useful regulator for day to day modern diving. I have a Voit Navy that I need to get into service and a Phoenix and HPR will go in whenever I find them, I wish I still had my Kraken with the cracked can because the Navy with the Kraken guts would be perfect.True, but the Phoenix also adds HP and LP ports.

I hate the thought of taking a perfectly good RAM and "bastardizing" it.
I would trade my overhauled/upgraded (by Bryan) DA (without a Phoenix) with a banjo fitting and gauge to him and take the RAM - to preserve the history.
