Give us the run down now that you've had some time to break the dynasty in. Was it worth the upgrade? You had the water cooled torch for the syncrowave didnt you? Does it work with the dynasty? Any complaints?

Shit, man - I'm sorry, I completely missed this thread.
No, my syncrowave had a standard WP17 air cooled torch - the popular one. It's also the same torch that the new dynasty 200dx came with.
I had a two-fold purpose for changing welders. I felt I was lacking in my aluminum abilities, so I attributed that mainly to not bieng able to adjust the balance and frequency like I'd like to - and it gave me a nifty excuse to spend a LOT of money on a new gadget.
The second, and probably just as important in the grand scheme of things - I needed more space and portability. The old syncrowave is as big as a medium sized dog house and wieghed in at nearly 300lbs. The Dynasty was about the size of 3 cylinder heads stacked on top of each other and weighed in at 45lbs.
The Dynasty had about 20' worth of leads and a generous whip that allowed it to sit stationary in my garage and me work in just about any position in the garage without moving the welder.
The adjustable balance and frequency are now invaluable. I would absolutely recommend it for a "above average" fabricator. For a novice, or hobbyist - I'd look into something like an econotig, or possibly the Diversion. It's REAL easy to get lost in all of the settings the dynasty has.
HTH. -

I was talking to Chad Claudner awhile back, and he said the their shop use to work with syncrowaves. He then switched to a dynasty....and it made the syncrowave look like poop! Whats funny is, the tig welder i use at HPP is one used to builld tanks back in WWI I started using ARH's syncowave 350 recently. OMG, i can't believe how much better of a welder it is than what I already have. First bead that i layed down looked like a marcella intake! If anyone has a lead on a nice used tig, let me know. I would prefer to stay with a miller
