Well it is interesting to note that other magazines will be publishing their findings on this ampplifier.
However I do find it rather amusing that we have to have 'experts' tell us what our ears should be telling for oursleves. Don't we trust our own judgement?
I for one sold my Audio Research SP16 and VS55 for the VS1.
Why? Because it sounds better. To my ears. And that's what really matters.
The only real issue will still be one of long term reliability and service. Who knows if DK Design will be around in 5 years time? But if the quality and sound of they equipment is anything to go by, I would imagine YES.
The lack of "Name brand" seems to be a bit of a phobia. More so among audiophiles who seem by nature to be rather conservative.
Anyway, I am willing to bet that the magazines will only confirm my own ears.
