DK Design Review
Snofun, clearly the reviewer says that based on the performance and the build of the amplifier, "I figured I was listening to an amplifier that would retail somewhere between $5000 and $7000". So, what is your beef? This is definitely an outstandi... 
phono preamp for DKVS1 MK11
Any phono preamp from Naim is awesome. 
Anyone hear Dk Design VS1 Mk. 2 with Hyperion 938?
Its awesome. You simply can't get a better amp for the Hyperions then the DK. Also, many dealers set up Hyperions with the DK and I often see this combination at shows. 
Does DK Design actually design and manufacture?
You guys should also check out this link:http://www.shengya-audio.com/en_product.asp?id=695Looks suspiciously like Gryphon from Denmark doesn't it? The fact is, there are all kinds of products being offered in China, especially with China having s... 
Does DK Design actually design and manufacture?
DK never made any secret of the origin of their amplifier. My VS-1 says "Made in China" on the rear of the unit. In fact, their initial campaign was promoting that they have a factory in China where most of the assembly is done and this was the wa... 
Tube Rolling on DK Design MKII
yes, a CV2492 replaces a 6922 
Clever Little Clock - high-end audio insanity?
Zaikesman, the test with your girlfriend does not have the visual element taken out as I had explained above, since obviously she was not blind folded. And the result of her conclusion, only further proves my point, she preferred the cheaper pre-a... 
Clever Little Clock - high-end audio insanity?
Zaikesman,I think that your proposed test of 3 clocks is just as flawed. This is because all 3 clocks will look visually identical.Suppose something else for a moment. Let's say I take a Boulder 2008 ($40K) phono pre-amp chasis, take out the elect... 
Tube Rolling on DK Design MKII
Cryod Mullard CV2492. Absolutely kickass! A little costly, but worth every penney. This was also the tube that DK used at the HE2005 show with the Von Schweikerts. The sound was legendary. 
Clever Little Clock - high-end audio insanity?
Zaikesman, I think that Miklorsmith made a very valid point. In fact, I was part of an even more baffling experiment. This was a system with VTL monoblocks, a VTL Reference preamp, and Wilson speakers. Everyone was floored by how amazing the VTL p... 
Best Integrated for JM Labs Micro Utopia BE
Try the DK Design Group VS-1 Mk.3 or the VS-1 Signature. The sound is extremely warm, but very controlled, with excellent dynamics, slam, and detail retrieval. Also, killer 3d soundstage. Your Utopias will sound better then ever. 
Lamm ML1.1 & ML 2.1
Guys, you are forgeting one very important amplifier that competes head to head with the ML2.1 - the VAC Phi Beta 110. In some ways, I feel that the VAC is even better then the Lamm. Both of these designs offer out-of-this-world sonics.Has anyone ... 
Clever Little Clock - high-end audio insanity?
Zaikesman, please do post the response to Dave Clark. I think the issue we are discussing is of huge importance to high end audio in general. I think if we keep on, we may end up somewhere and perhaps make progress. I am sure that influencing Dave... 
What is a better value speaker -- Kharma 3.2FE at
You just have to be crazy comparing the VR4jr to the Kharma. There is no comparison. While the VR4jr is a terrific speaker for the money it just doesn't have the musicality, clarity, dimensionality, and the purity of the Kharma. It's like comparin...
