DarTzeel’s new direction


Looks like DarTzeel is looking to start producing more affordable equipment. After reading a statement by the man himself he has decided to shift from ultra hiend to a more affordable alternative to his designs.

I am suspecting (reading / hearing) also saturation of persons prepared to have red and gold kit. {acknowledging some will say it is beautiful). Also agreeing on the only so many $250k amps, is this a case of want to or have to? I love red and could have had my Vitus in red, but they are black.

Interesting that his reaction is to produce ’more affordable’ than try "the black edition".

In regards to Dartzeel. To me the really good designers are ones who can design equipment that surpasses their cost. Take the knowledge he's learned to this point, and make $8,000 to $50,000 preamps, amps, and integrated amps.

He may very well find that a lot more people would be able to enjoy his designs, that to me would be more satisfying

Actually I think he realizes his equipment at its price point has too much competition. Other competitors are producing products without limits and he’s not going to keep playing that game. A lot of people think his equipment is butt ugly but the execution of his topology is second to none and he wants that to appeal to a broader market. I think he’s only the beginning of what other manufacturers eventually will do: come to their senses and look to produce at a lower cost.
