Subject: Re: regulators
I used to run a ScubaPro D400 off my Odin first stage when I needed a
DIN first stage.  I did it because I prefer the D400 to the Odin 2nd but
I didn't have DIN on my MK20s.  Now that I installed DIN adaptors on my
ScubaPro MK20s the Odin stays on the deco bottle because I like the
MK20s.

Anyway, I never had the slightest problem.  What are you worried about? 
The only variable I can see that would affect 2nd stage performance is
the intermediate pressure of the 1st stage.  Is there some other
variable that I'm forgetting?  Without having the specs in front of me,
I think that the Odin 2nd stage can handle a higher intermediate
pressure, something like 140-170 psi??? while the D400 specs say keep it
at 140 psi.    Help me out if my numbers are wrong folks, I'm just
guessing.  But, I think an Odin properly tuned to the lower end of the
recommended intermediate pressure range should be set perfectly for a
D400. --Kent Lind
