DK Design Group vs. Boulder
I didn't inspect the back of the amp... was definately a DK and it was in the "mode" with the two "digital renditions" of an analog meter on the front...The only thing I can imagine in this case was the guy was running the preamp into one of the i... 
DK Design Group vs. Boulder
Oh- my memory slipped yet again Audioaril - I can't recall what you said the rest of your system was? 
DK Design Group vs. Boulder
Perhaps it was a Mk 3. Who knows, they have a new model every other month... I will find out next time I am there. There was a preamp running just the amp section. Whether that is model 2, 3, 4, etc. I can't keep up or better yet just don't care to. 
DK Design Group vs. Boulder
Yes, or at least I beleive so... as I controlled the volume to the Aesthetix via remote. I heard the system with just the DK as well as the Aesthetix just driving the amp section. With the Aesthetix driving the DK, it sounded much better. I don't ...

Best monitor under $1000
I would also suggest looking into the JM Renaud Twin III's. The only thing I didn't like about them was they were made in France... I heard them in a much larger room than they should have been in, and they sounded great. I think the sales guy may... 
Electrostats
Yes and no. For the most part you are correct. As there have been improvements in dynamics and such with the ML line, I still think one of their most musical sounding speakers were the SL3. Depending if you have a moderate sized room, and with the... 
Future of analog controlled class 'D' amps?
I would say yes, if done correctly. 
The West Coast is currently blowing out other area

Electraglide Epiphany -X VS Shunyata
Tvad has hit the nail on the head. For what these cables sell for on the used market, buy both, and take a couple of weeks to see which fits your system best. Sell the other for what you paid. Best synergistic fit with peace of mind... 
Katie Melua, has anyone else bought her new LP?
Yes, I have this album and agree she has a great voice. Will have to find that CD now... 
Overpriced Tube Amps
Thanks Viridian. Two fine analogies, along with a great laugh! 
Clever Little Clock - high-end audio insanity?
What a joke. Question of the day:Does anyone have this listed as a component in their virtual system?:)
