Anyone heard of DK design group?
Kimballcorson,You might have those CCa's tested. I've purchased three pairs that went bad quickly. Incredible tubes IMO, but hard to find good ones.Great review, by the way.All the best,Howard 
Broke and still not happy
I think I'm taking this thread in an unrelated direction, so I'll write to Superhonestben directly.Good luck, Gellis1, and please post what you decide on. 
Tube integrated amp less than 12" in depth?
I've heard this amp on a speaker (non-horn) with 89dB efficiency, and it drove it just fine in a room that was around 14' x 15'.To reiterate what Swampwalker said, with the type of music you want to listen to, and at the stated volume, I think you...

Sorry, the Harmonic Tech should have read ProSilway MKII.

Music is not music, Ben. If that were the case, then we'd all be running the same components. I would piece together a system that would play Diana Krall just as well as it would Metallica, and then insist that all others match my standards for to...

Obviously, all cables are system dependent. That said, in our highly transparent SET/horn system, we ran the gamut of the following interconnects:Signal Cable Analog 2, DH Labs BL-1, Analysis Plus Solo Crystal, Audience AU24, Harmonic Tech III, Ve... 
Tube integrated amp less than 12" in depth?
If you can turn this sideways in your closet, you might have found the ticket. The Audion Sterling runs 12W of SET power, and runs in ultralinear mode at a certain volume output. Thus, you get a smooth midrange and a punchy bass response. Excuse m...

I agree with Larryb. Most high end is not great for rock music. Resolving and revealing, airy and transparent, these are generally not the ultimate sonic goals of a rock-oriented system IMO. I went through this process, and ultimately decided that... 
tube amps SET,psuh pull ,hi power whats better ?
With those Khorns, Ben, I would definitely have a listen to a SET amp. They will really sing. Howard 
Any heard/heard of Whest DAP.10 R processor?
Thanks for posting the exchange, Mark. I also just received a private e-mail from Robm1 (posted above), and he said the same thing: just listen to one. He had the Audio Aero Capitole and moved to the Prima + the DAP.10 and said that in every way (... 
Planet 2000 upgrade question...
You might look here:http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?ddgtl&1089656383&read&keyw&zzplanet+bel+cantoBut why not sell the Planet for $500 or so, and with $2000 as your ceiling, you have a host of excellent one-box options: Audi...

Superhonestben,Please excuse my inability to get technical in this realm, but hopefully this description (along with those from others) will help clarify some of the differences.If I remember correctly, you have Klipschorns, yes? They are a perfec... 
mcintosh & big $ interconnects
Bigjoe,Given that you can't hear any difference between cables, you are not likely going to hear any between speakers either. So send me your address, and I'll be straight over to trade my La Scala's for your K-horns. I promise, there is no audibl... 
Any heard/heard of Whest DAP.10 R processor?
Ghostrider45,I told James (from Whest Audio) that you might be writing him. He has thus far responded quickly to my e-mails, and always in a refreshing and friendly manner. I look forward to hearing his response to your questions about the unit. 
Any heard/heard of Whest DAP.10 R processor?
Denf,If the dap.10 is as good as they say, I can only imagine that it would turn your Capitole 24/192 into a turntable.Shazaam!
