I have had my DK Amp for a short period of time and it is paired with Von Schweikert VR4 Jr speakers and a Lector CD player. I find this thread interesting as I have been using Audience AU24 Interconnects between the amp and CD player and Audience AU24 speaker cable also. I have Telefunken 12AT7 Tubes in the Cd player and Amperex 7308 Orange label tubes in the DK amp. I use Audience Powerchords. I had been breaking the amp in and felt that I was not getting the richness from the Amperex that I thought I would hear. The system had much resolution and detail but the sound was a tad thin through the speakers.
Today, I switched out the Audience AU24 Interconnect and put in the DK Interconnect. This has made a drastic change in the sound. It is much more full bodied and has much of the richness that I thought I would get from the NOS Amperex tubes. The DK cable seems to be quite smooth and quick and also full bodied. In my system, it added some very nice characteristics to the Von Schweikerts sound. I have only had the DK Interconnect in for a short time and plan to go back and forth with the Audience AU24 interconnect. So far, I have not noticed a loss of detail with the DK interconnect but have gained in the other areas as I mentioned. Audience AU24 is known for its detail and resolution and natural musicality. I plan to have the DK interconnect in my system for a period of time so I can hear more of my collection and how the music is effected. After a period of time, I plan to go back to the Audience AU24 and do another comparison by listening to that again. So far, I am very impressed with the DK interconnect as the system is quite enjoyable to listen to. I love the richness to the sound and the smoothness through the midrange. What are other DK amp owners doing in terms of this issue? Stephen
