DK Design Group vs. Boulder


Has anyone here compared DK amps with Boulder amps? I am currently using the Wilson Watt Puppy 7s with the DK VS-1 Signature with great results but I have been thinking of switching to the Boulder 1050 monoblocks and the 1010 Preamp. Will this be a meaningful upgrade worth the extra costs? Or should I leave well enough alone?

When I spoke to Daniel Khesin about my own DK MKII (alas, the DK amp is no longer with us, has gone to a happier home), he advised to use the standard inputs as opposed to the "balanced" inputs as they were installed as a convienence for people with only balanced available and not the best input configuration sonically for the DK. Iv'e heard other so-so "integrated" amps with a decent preamp going into the standard inputs with the volume turned up to 3 o'clock or max and they always sounded better, hhmmmmmm.
Regards to you all, Mike.
