DK Designs VS-1 Mk II Drive Carver Mk IV's?
The ribbon moves such little air,(that is it does not punch the air in the manner, or distance of a dynamic driver) that its sense of 'dynamic volume' is very limited, hence the seemingly low output.Having said that though, my Sound Labs, (mylar t...

No,Actually, because of it's untimely death, the ABA died after the Ky Colonels were sold in the dark of night to, Baltimore (?) which never happened. The mystery man is none other than "Little Louie" Louie Dampier of the University of KY Rupp's R...

I spoke to Daniel personally, and he tells me that this is not the case. This IS the Mark II after all, and represents whichever refinements they have been able to incorporate into the new piece.Early adopters usually take the price hit, a negativ... 
Krell Kav 300il or Arcam FMJ A32
After months of not reading this thread, I visit only to find a vast majority, (vast with three people) well, a majority, likeing the musicality of the Arcam.Have you listened to the DK MKII? For $3000. It sets a new standard, better than my Gryph...

Lloyd,The new Musician 2 is wonderful, but that is heresay. I have yet to put my hands on one.I know this, the DK is remarkable, and for $2995. almost ridiculously low price.I am NOT a downward price justification person either. Better is better, ...

Great product it is.I have been in the industry for 25 years; and I would go as far as to say publicly that it is unquestionably the most revolutionary product at or near its price, and given that it's an integrated, only makes it more compelling.... 
DK Designs VS-1 Mk II Drive Carver Mk IV's?
We are now in to a subjective realm which can be dangerous.First, my room is 23x20 and is 18' high--and open to the kitchen through two casement doors, and open on the other side to a loft, overlooking the room.This amp will play very loudly, but ... 
DK Designs VS-1 Mk II Drive Carver Mk IV's?
I drove the, some would consider them hard to drive, Sound Lab A-1's with NO problem.This may truely be the most underrated product in the audio kingdom.Somehow, though, Daniel can't catch a break. Every time he offers something fair and reasonabl... 
How long does cable technology take to 'turn'?
Break in, a little appreciated or understood concept...Some four days later these cables are more natural and smoother,I wonder if anyone, including Robert Lee would hazzard a scientific guess. My inclination is to think that, in part one becomes ... 
How long does cable technology take to 'turn'?
I got the hybrid copper/silver. It's funny, the cables are so stiff as you might imagine, that during the course of hooking things up I moved my speakers out further into the room (one of the reasons for the new cables) only to accidentally hook t... 
How long does cable technology take to 'turn'?
One of my points here, which no one has chosen to address, is the "I am sure that, now I know it all....again." The ongoing 'quest' for that audio Nirvana is fun and exciting. One has to be careful to note that which is just different, and not bet... 
Dk Design VS-1 mkII what tubes are you using??
I am using the Russian tubes which were used in the MIG fighter craft (6H23N-EB Vacuum Tube).They holograph noticibly better than the original--and I do not consider soundstage changes for the better, to be ANY form of coloration, so long as it do... 
How good are the B&W 801...Series 2 Speakers ????
They have very notable colorations for those who notice such things.The drivers, all sound very different than each other, dynamically, texturally, and I find that disconcerting.Before doing some research, I thought the crossover was at fault--but... 
hi I'm italian
Wow, I'm Native Born American, and I hope ten or twelve jerks don't answer questions like this if and when I try for an answer from some Italians. 
Definitive sub with Thiel speakers?
Shari at THIEL recommended another subwoofer?There had to be extenuating circumstances beyond what is told here. Such as I would really like one, but can't really afford it, or some other really compelling reason.How would I know this? I worked wi...
