Anyone heard of DK design group?

"he has Atma-sphere MA-1 tube amps and huge Dunlavy SC4 speakers. We put the VS-1 in place of the Atma- spheres and compared. Even my friend commented the lows and mids were better, richer, warmer, and more detailed. The only area the VS-1 lacked in comparison was the very top end."

Wow Ed, now that is a significant comparison! Especially when your friend agreed.

By the way, I spoke to Daniel Khesin and originally there were going to be no intenal changes to the MK II other than the removal of the loudness circuit, as Audiophiles were wary of this function appearing on a high end amp. As the loudness button does not interfere with the circuit when not in use I did not see a problem with this, however I suppose if you have to make a living selling these, you have to provide what your customers want. Daniel told me that in the end they did make some circuit changes to the internals that if he had to quantify them improved the performance of the MK I over the MK II by 10%.

Sorry for opening an old thread, I have the original DK Design mkii amp.

Was told that I was one of the very first customers…

Used it with great satisfaction for twelve years or so before I started upgrading my rig.

I have taken it out of the cabinet again and dusted it off, it still sounds wonderful, I still have my Mullard tubes in it and the amp is working fine.

The remote is more of a problem, unfortunately when I was changing batteries I noticed that the inner battery had had a leak, and unfortunately changing battery did not make the amp respond.

So I thought I would take the print plate out, but that is when I hit a problem, while trying sliding the print plate out at the top the buttons got jammed, can only move the plate a little back and forth.

The question I have, is there anyone here after all these years that knows the codes that the remote uses? Or maybe a way to take out the print plate.

Thanks.
