restocking fees
Boa2, My point is that those companies I mentioned in my last post create a climate that will make it difficult for high end manufacturers to demand restocking fees. I doubt that consumers willtake the risk when they have so many other options inc... 
restocking fees
Understood. I would expect nothing less than a company owner acting in his best interest. In some cases, that may be finding a way to get rid of tire kickers. But the model for no obligation returns is out there. Circuit City, Sound City, Amazon, ... 
restocking fees
Boa2, I see your point, but this "chump" isn't giving away anything if I buy the cable. Maybe he is sure of what he has, and knows it's much better than the competition. If it's a losing proposition for the manufacturer, I trust he won't make the ... 
restocking fees
Onhwy61, Shoppers are potential buyers. I'm both a shopper and buyer, and I'm afraid I have the bank statement history to prove it.I was looking for a cable recently and budgeted $150. I narrowed my choices to 3. One manufacturer bragged that his ... 
restocking fees
I don't like to work for free either, and manufacturers shouldn't be expected to work for nothing. But would they have more sales if they didn't charge the fee? If they really believe in their product, and think it's better than the competition, w...

Plato, Thanks for the info. Do you run the Monarchy 24 directly in to your amp? I would be using it with an integrated so I wouldn't use the volume control. Have you tried it both ways?The Benchmark is excellent and does many things well. It's a g... 
DK Design Review
Dougmc, Actually they offer 3 integrateds. The Standard at $3200, the Signature at $6000 and the Statement (which is just being released) at $9000. I have heard all 3, and believe they are all good values at their respective price points. The Stan... 
DK Design Review
The good or bad news, depending on your perspective, is that the journey never ends. Things change in time, and today's great product may be tomorrow's above average gear. I've been seriously "updating" my system for the last 20 years, and have be... 
DK Design Review
Drubin, No doubt that Reina likes Creek, and that he said some nice things about DK. We might disagree about the review being "luke warm at best, but it certainly isn't as positive as Martin DeWulf's review of the DK Signature. I don't trash other... 
DK Design Review
It's fascinating how the mention of DK evokes such strong anger from some who haven't heard the products. No amount of positive reviews or recommendations will change their minds. They have no interest in actually listening to the integrateds, but... 
DK Design Review
In the new Bound For Sound (www.boundforsound.com) Martin G. DeWulf writes "I have been working with the DK VS1 Signature (tube, solid state hybrid) for a while now, and I can say without fear of contradiction, that the VS1 Signature totally wipes... 
What new amp for my Merlins
I have to join the others in suggesting that you upgrade your speakers before considering anything else. 
DK Design Review
jmcgrogan, Have you heard the new products? No apologies here! I think the amps and speakers are wonderful, and I have no doubt that reviewers and audiophiles will agree when they hear them.Perhaps one reason that DK owners haven't responded to th... 
DK Design Review
It's good to see the amp get the kind of press it deserves. The company has been expanding it's offerings with a new Signature and a new Statement Integrated, as well as several speakers under the LSA Brand. I have the Statement Amp and LSA2 State...
