Designers -who's been around the longest ?
Are you talking about electronics? All around? Bob Carver, still alive and still designing. James Martini (JBL & Altec) + James B. Lansing. I personally don't like Nelson Pass because he bought ALL the extra Sony V-FET transistors. People like...

Have you heard darTZeel Amplifiers
Thanks for all of your feedback. Have all, or a few of you actually heard a darTZeel amplifier? What was your impression of the sound? Are the string instruments detail as good as the specs suggest? Particularly the attack, pluck of the string. Ha...
