what is the REAL deal with DK
If you all know that dk is being run by a reputable man now, what is the problem?

Charlie101, thanks for your input and I will look into those you listed, do any of them happen to be hybrids? 
what is the REAL deal with DK
charlie101, if you don't agree that it is the best integrated than what is? I am really trying to find out. I would like it to be a hybrid, if not it has to be a tube integrated with some slam or a ss with it's normal attributes along with a nice ...

Still wondering why the two magazines gave the dk such impressive praise? I guess what everybody is saying is that the marketing got in the way of an outstanding product? I have a Cayin ta-30 integrated and was looking for some more power along wi...
