Decware - any substance here?


With such a nice and extensively detailed website, I've long been curious about Decware. But with little in the way of genuine reviews, and not much in the way of discussion here, I always wonder if they are nothing more than that, a great website. They clearly have a dedicated fanbase, but my problem with the fanbase is this: most of them (not all of course) seem to have limited experience with products besides Decware, as if they stumbled upon Decware and never bothered with other brands. Maybe this is positive, that once experienced they don't have the typical audiophile itch to try other amps. I'm specifically struck by the new Torii MKIII push-pull amp, which in description and looks is just beautiful. So does it interest anyone here? Has anyone actually heard it, or it's previous incarnations? If so how does it rate amongst the other quality tube amps, whether Blue Circle, Cary, Vac, Almarro, Atma-Sphere, etc...?

They were just announced this week and since Decware has a two month wait, I would guess that no one has heard them outside of Decware. There is a DecWare Festival in a few weeks if you live in th Midwest.
Hi Morganc, the website say the soul superfy's use the Zu260FRD/G4/HO driver. That is the old one, right?
Forgot to add, I had my Torri built with 16 ohm and 8 ohm transformer taps. While the 8 ohm sounds good with the Zu Superfly's the 16 ohm adds more weight and dynamics.
Yes the HO Drivers are the ones that I had with my Omen Defs. Those paired very well with the Torii.
I have never heard the Decware amps but I do have one of their very basic Pre-amps, it used to be available as a D.I.Y. Kit and was personally built by the main guy there at Decware and used in the ads and manuals.

It is one of the best Pre-amps I have ever owned, have had it for years and have never had an issue. I bought it so when I build one of the kits my self I know how it should sound. I have not built the Pre-amp yet, it's on my todo list.

I love the look of Decware gear, with all those tubes etc. very classic styling. I would like to buy one of their headphone amps.
