I am curious as to how the DCR is very similar between the two. both have ceramic mags and very similar EQ specs. what are the similarities and the differences?
I went into this thinking I wouldn't be able to tell much of a difference in output. I can tell the difference, but's minor.
The D Activator is slightly less tight and it's got a smidge more aggression in the mids.
Take all of this with a grain of salt, because the D Activator is in a 7 string rosewood fretboard 25.5" scale guitar, but the Titan is an a 6 string ebony fretboard 27.7" guitar that has a much thicker body.
I took the unplugged sound difference into consideration when comparing the two pickups, however.

Yup. Pretty much exactly this.

Don't get me wrong, I love both. I might get another one of these guitars down the road and put a D Activator in it.
I can't really say one is better than the other, they're just different.

My gmail appears to be temporarily unavailable. Shit.
As Darth suggested, Take your time with small tweaks of the pickup height and poles.
I can't wait to hear the clip.

Well, the uploading process was simple. We'll see if I did it right! (Refer to first clip attempt post)

LMAO!! That sounded like my country ass at the end when you said "that should do it". Sounded great man. I've had a set in one of my Charvels for two weeks now, however my lazy ass just hasn't hooked the wires up yet. I loved the tight bottom end on that recording. Hopefully I won't get too buzzed up this afternoon. I'm also tired as hell from busting my ass all week. Anyways, for a somewhat crappy recording, I thought everything sounded great and perfect for what I've been looking for besides my Blackouts.

You'll dig 'em.

I am running Transition in the bridge and Titan in the neck. (I have a transition in the neck on my desk)
I love them man. I am highly interested in the Titan in the bridge.
I saw that you had issues installing them... I installed the titan upside down at first.... did you do the same thing?
I have a super five way switch wired to them. Bridge, inside coils together, Both, outside coils together (pretty), and neck
Awesome recording man. I always sit in the hallway when I record to leave out the pick attack and string jangs.
