| Lone Star Audio Festival - Dallas 2011 I'll be there demonstrating Dennis Deacon's D-Sonic Magnum 500S ICEpower stereo amp. Other equipment will include the new Oppo BDP-95 universal player, a Parasound P3 preamp, and a high sensitivity (95dB) version of the AudioKarma EconoWaveguide s... | |

| DIY speakers vertical array a la "pipedreams" syst The full range driver is a viable option, but I'm skeptical about getting one to sound good with an open baffle. Fostex drivers and the like have so little X-max (0.6mm for the FE-167) that they can easily be driven to excess distortion levels wit... | |
| DIY speakers vertical array a la "pipedreams" syst I'm not aware of any open back line array plans. I had tried to build a pair using ten Parts Express 4.5" Vifa "buyout" woofers with a single tweeter and they sounded terrible, but that's probably a product of my design incompetence rather than a ... | |
| Can DK design MKII drive the Magenapan MG1.6 well? I have owned and driven both 1.6's and 3.6's with my DK amp. I found it was a very good match - lots of power to drive a very inefficient four ohm load. It offered equally good midrange plus better bass control than my Sonic Frontiers Power 2. I s... | |

| Great Plains Audio Fest I'm planning to drive up from Houston. This will be a great opportunity to hear several products I have been wanting to hear for some time. I'm expecting a good turnout because Dallas and OK City are such an easy drive, and as Duke mentioned there... | |
| DK Design users check out Writers Choice Awards OK, now I've seen it all. They're offering couples therapy on the DK website to help us win spouse approval for expensive audio purchases. Notice the woman's facial expression in the picture; I have seen that exact expression on my wife's face. Se... | |
| How good is the midrange in the DK Design VS-1Mk2? I replaced a Sonic Frontiers Power 2 (Svetlana KT-88's, Jan Philips 6922's) with the VS.1 MKII and find the midrange is not too much different from that of the SF amp, VTL amps, and other large contemporary design push pull tube amps. The bass is ... | |
| Anyone heard of DK design group? I don't believe the cover positioning is a misake. The cover probably is positioned with the holes toward the front to provide convection cooling for the two power transformers. Convection cooling for the tubed preamp section is provided by openin... | |
| Anyone heard of DK design group? The top cover is a thick aluminum panel with four holes near the front over the power transformers. Under the cover is an identically sized black mesh screen. You can remove the cover altogether and use just the screen, which lets you see the tube... |
