I just went to Romy the Cat's website and Stitch, AKA Syntax posted the same Omnigon photos on October 29th. There were some questions about motive which he answers.

Yes I think the same questions were raised here too. Otherwise cat's got my tongue.

Do not trust Daniel or whatever name using. read below the many swindled. Never know for sure parts or warranty.
he is simply dishonest.

Considering Dietrich sells all his products through distributors and dealers, there can be no such worries. He has been operating the last 4 years or so quite successfully it would seem with no issues with product or service. I certainly know the Aussie distributor has had no problems.
I saw the Avocator phono in HK in August. It looked very impressive and build quality was excellent, however I was more interested in the giant monolith that was his turntable.

Something new is coming from Dietrich Bakemeier and Acoustical Systems team. The EVOcator is Acoustical Systems’ all new full-feature reference tube RIAA phono stage implementing PTFE-circuit boards gel-cushioned for vibration isolation, pure silver foil in oil capacitors, premium grade triodes...
“With the EVOcator we complete our product portfolio as it was the last major component "missing" in the all analog front end chain.”
The EVOcator all-triode-tube reference RIAA phono stage features:
· full feature 4 phono inputs – RCA and balanced - w/3 selectable gain stages for MC
· 2 outputs – RCA and balanced – 600 Ohms studio pro standard
· front panel selectable load for capacitance and impedance for MI and MM
· front panel selectable load impedance for MC inputs
· front panel selectable phono phase 0° and 180° inverted
· front panel selectable Mono / Stereo
· separate power supply with tube rectification and
· DC tube regulated plate supply
· Selectable grounding route for zero hum
· Operates 100 to 250 V ac line – 50Hz and 60 Hz
· Highest quality connections: WBT (RCAs), Eichmann (RCAs choice) Furutech (IEC socket and XLR (choice)), Lemo (power supply to phono stage).
Made with PTFE-circuit boards gel-cushioned for vibration isolation, pure silver foil in oil capacitors, premium grade triodes, top-class RCA and XLR connectors and entirely non-magnetic high dampened alloy cabinets.
Entirely designed and made in Germany.

Here we have a scope screen shot of the output voltage (RCA socket) of an "Omnigon" preamp,
both channels. The output on XLR is the same, this is no balanced output. The pic was taken on
a phono input, but with line it is essentially the same. Frequency was 1 kHz. Output was loaded
with the scope only, 1 meg. What you see is independent of volume setting and input level (if
below clipping). Sorry for bad picture quality, I was in a hurry.

The ringing is probably an influence of the scope probe. As a first guess, try removing the ground lead, assuming it was connected.
Drats, my phono stage wasn't inspected by a university lab.

Gentlemen,
yes, this preamp has an "inductive" volume control (but not at the output - who would do it this way?).
The strong ringing is mainly caused by this.
There is no transformer or choke loaded output, this is an RC coupled amplifier.
No speculation and "first guess" - facts please.
No "scope probe" used here, but direct RCA plugs and cables.
How would you manage to get a ringing like this with an ordinary or special probe ?
Please show us.
Thanks.

"The Bavarian problem" - not sure what kind of disease this is ..
"A typical passive scope probe forms a resonant circuit" - is not
correct and a probe was not used, see post 136.
"With 600 Ohms Output?" - a thorough analysis of the amplifier
would be possible if somebody paid for it, I was just paid for repair.
