DK Design VS.1 Reference mkII - Optimization

Try HIFI Tuning Fuses! Four inside you have to replace, I
did and got very good results! You can see more into the
soundstage now. Highs are better also, but this is not the
shot in the arm you maybe looking for. You need good cables
with this amp! The Power cord plays the major role here,and you can't use bright sounding cables at all here. I had planed on getting a new amp up to this point. Not anymore! I'm going to try the fuses with my Black Cube's power supply next. They did great things for my Kora tube DAC.

I have changed the CAPS in my DK amp also, to Auricaps 3.0!
they sound a hell of a lot better. I my mind the highend
fuses working with the CAP upgrade takes the amp to even
higher level. I don't get the un-even sound anymore. Once
the amp is hot and ready to run, she runs! I have noted that the highs sound a lot better now after the change. They still sound a bit distance. The total job cost me about $100.00. $40.00 for the caps, $60.00 for have them
put on the boards. Beats buying a new amp!

I have changed all the RCA connection and the binding posts on the amp. Added WBT's, this was also a great upgrade to the amp. The sound is much clearer now. The highs have a little air now.

After adding the WBT RCA's and Binding Posts and Cardas wiring to the Amp, the sound just took off!The service tech had a problem with the WBT RCA's, they had to be cut or drilled to fit. I used Cardas 19AWG wiring to the Binding Posts and changed or upgraded the connections to the pre-amp. The Tech did the same for connections from the Amp to the pre-amp. The higher performance level from the my upgrades were so great!The Amp's backgound runs a black you can feel, the high end is so much better. Running the DAC and Transport from the Amp now I can do my serious listening. I still love my vinyl too!

This time I will remove the opamps from the amp and replace them with much better sounding ones.
