    DIN vs. Yoke vs. Online vs. LDS

    Oh, thats cool, i didnt know that. I'd probably trust a din at higher pressure than i would a yoke though. How high can you get din valves at? Any idea? I've heard that for *deep* diving din's are more reliable. Any truth to that?

    DIN vs. Yoke vs. Online vs. LDS

    DIN vs. Yoke vs. Online vs. LDS

    Blacknet says, "I do have to add that the spectrum/xr2 is a joke! It's a piece of junk that fails miserably with performance, reliability and design. I recently pulled one out of service because of the horrible problems I have had with the unit. When you get down to the bottom line the design...
