Repair issue is a valid concern but believe dartzeel are serviced in the USA.
In any event, Herve is very hands-on and will return messages super fast and of course so will jtinn
My Lamm amp was straight outta Brooklyn but my dealer was hard to find and the lamm always had a bug right before vladmir went on vacation or was going to a show. Vladmir is a nice guy but when my lamm amp had an intermittent noise and sent it back to him, he could not find the problem and
Insisted that the problem was in my other equipment or my room
After returning the amp, I diagnosed the problem myself and sent back to vladmir who then was apologetic and fixed it. This process took 6 months and finally I gave up on lamm even though the 2.2 amp was pretty sweet
As much as I liked the 2.2, the dartzeel just sounds better. It is picky about speakers preferring an efficient one but so what you only need one pair of speakers and then it will Sing! the synergy of the preamp with the amp is what makes it super special. The combo reduces me to tears sometimes it's so magical.
I agree that if someone put a gun to my head and made me sell one, I
Would sell the amp not the preamp. The preamp is so profoundly great and tested a lot of other preamps and nothin came close. At gunpoint, I could live with be forced to get a tube amp. But nothing would pry my hands off the preamp short of perhaps jessica alba (joking)
