Amp for Verity Parsifal encore
I preamped my Parsifals with an Aestetix Janus, and the sound was superb. Detailed and rich (but not syrupy). I first ran Cary V12s and now Parasound JC1s.This very Janus is now for sale on Audiogon.Happy holidays.Steve 
BAT VK-75, McIntosh MC 275 or Sonic Frontiers ???
In terms of bang for the buck, a used SF Power 2 or 3 is very hard to beat. 
Does DK Design actually design and manufacture?
Here's a truism that happens to be true: you get what you pay for. 
Does DK Design actually design and manufacture?
Larry:Thanks for that honest and enlightening response. It's good to know that DK is now in good, professional hands. And the work you're doing with the DK products sounds promising and exiting.What prompted this post was the suspicion, which I fi... 
Does DK Design actually design and manufacture?
http://www.cav-audio.com/Products.asp?Pid=7&id=54Check out this link to CAV Audio, a chinese company. The shot of one of their amplifiers, especially of the innards, will look familiar to you DK owners. And check Audio Asylum for DK discussion... 
Does DK Design actually design and manufacture?
Uppermidfi:I most certainly do not have the answer, which is what occasioned this thread.DK Design puts out really splendid looking components. Friends of mine have told me how great these products sound, too. I've even heard one of the DK amps an... 
Does DK Design actually design and manufacture?
No Eldartford, if they appropriate existing designs and simply redbadge them or place them in a fancy-looking case, they are not like other manufacturers. So answer the question. 
Verity Audio
To my ears, the best speakers out there. 
Gabriel Gold IC's are they really this good?
I've found the Gabriel Gold ICs to be first rate. In my system, they beat Harmonic Tech and Cardas Neutral Ref, which I consider to b a tough wire to beat. The Gabriels brought out dynamic textures without adding brightness or glare. A terrific wi... 
Bel Canto EVO4 gen II vs. Sonic Frontiers Power 2
Owned the Power 2 for several years as well as EVo 2 monblocks. While everyone proclaimed that the Evos sounded "tubey," I didn't find that to be the case. To my ear, they sounded typically soild state–a little dry, and a little flat.The Power 2 h... 
SET amps with cajones and finesse
Cary 805's, of course. They provide SET magic and a bigness to the sound, to boot. 
Pre- / Amp for Eggleston ROSA
They're a fairly stable 8ohm load, so they actually don't need gobs of power. I've run my Rosas with tubes and SS; currently, they're making beautiful music with Cary 805 monos (not exactly a Krell).The Rosas are very tansparent, so your issues ma... 
Help Where to start with jazz?????
Easy: Kind of Blue. It's the album to start with…and stay with. 
Best Pre Phono for a Colibrì
The Pass XONO is as refined and quiet as they come, and is almost infinitely flexible with regard to load adjustments. 
Sonic Frontiers line 3 vs. AR 25 II
The SF Line 3 is my favorite alltime preamp. It is highly resolving yet also highly musical. I use it with a SET amp (Cary 805s) and the synergy is great: tube magic that's also highly revealing. There are other tube preamps that impart more bloom...
