Just upgraded to the DK VS-1 Signature

I just traded in my VS-1 Reference for the VS-1 Signature. There is a $2000 price difference between the two units. I was already in heaven listening to the Reference, however, the Signature definitely takes the performance up to a new level. In a way that I cannot explain there is a certain glow and a certain airiness that is musical in a way that reminds me of single ended tube amplifiers and yet coupled to a rock solid bass foundation that can shake the room with no transient overhang. The high frequencies are also stellar, that seem to extend out to infinity with a pitch black background. In my opinion, and I might start another shark feeding frenzy here, the Signature outperforms every amplifier that I have heard under $20,000 - making it a true breakthrough for the price.

Any other opinions on the new VS-1 Signature?

Please tell us all the amps you've heard under $20,000 so we know what you are comparing this to. Also, what is your other equipment? For example, speakers, cd player, turntable, cabling, etc., etc.

Respectfully Procalc, both Tvad & Guidocorona are explaining most members here take into account what equipment was associated and compared to, in which helps get a better idea of just what strengths the "reviewed" product may posses. Without any of that info, is similar to me buying a Corvette and stating it is the best sports car I have driven under $100,000! But I don't tell what I've compared it to, because I would be bad mouthing other cars? By saying that, I would assume some people may think all I have done is read a lot of Road & Track Magazine.

OH - this is not tied in with you Procalc and I am sincerely happy you are satisfied with your sound. That is what we are all striving for, and why comparisons help others.

I WILL GO ON RECORD and PREDICT:

there will be a DK VS-1 STATEMENT

lets say, approx. 3 months or so from now...

(just feeling a bit prophetic tonight...)
