| Solid State Preamp w/ PHono and with tube sound Dartzeel | |
| DartZeel compared to Pass Labs XA-160/200's I have had the Dartzeel for about 3 months and it came broken in. Only recently have the full potential seem to bust out. It extricates more music than any amp I have EVER owned. The Dartzeels 100 watts sounds more dynamic and powerful than amps w... | |
| Worst Name for A Piece of Equipment How boring is B&W. | |
| Dartzeel amp lives up to hype Has anyone tried different power cords on the Dartzeel amp? Which on brought out the best. | |
| OK WILSON OWNERS. HERE IS YOUR CHALLENGE I listened to the chimera's awhile back and while very musical they were not a full ranges speaker in my opinion. An extremely rolled off bass. If you like the upfront midrange they are the speaker for you. I prefer the top to bottom control of th... | |
| The best audiophile "gag" gift for X-Mas Did you allow the "Intelligent Chip" to break -in? Any responsible dealer should have told you that it needs 40000000000000 hours to sound its best. Maybe yours wasn't cryogenically treated. I am waiting for the upgrade at a higher price. | |
| Power Cords I used a Shunyata python on the Manley 250's. I also used harmonix. I never heard much of an improvement on the overall sound compared to the stock cord. Minor subtleties if your trying to hear something. | |
| Dartzeel amp lives up to hype The other amps I can compare the Dartzeel to are Manley -250,Wolcott Presence,Rowland Model 6, Cary slm-200. These are the most recent in my system which presently is Manley Steelhead, Audio aero Capitole II,Nottingham Anna/Hyperspace/Benz ruby2. ... | |

I watched the fedex clerk drop an audiomeca cd player from counter to floor. Box said handle with care highly fragile electronics. Her ... | |
| "Off" vs. "Standby" and tube life How's that for concrete anaysis. I had many of the best tube amps over the last 12 years and had an over abundance of tube failure. Probably 6-8 times per year!Some very dramatic with capacitors going as well. Most manufacturers always complain th... | |
| Is my system bottlenecked? Vr4 jr's is a better choice of speaker. Easy to drive with your gear and much more full range. | |
| Need advice ono a Tube preamp Manley Steelhead is an excellent choice. The phono stage is killer and bested the CAT ultimate IMHO | |
| Is Martin Logan goin to Big Box stores? Martin Logans have been sold in the Sound Advice chain store for years. Krell is also sold there. There are times when they have clearance sales when they have 70% off retail | |
| Best midrange on a high current SS amplifier Tireguy, I found the Rowland 6 to be the best amp I have owned. It drives the Schweikert VR7SE's to perfection with a total balance of the total bandwidth. Stay away from the tubes unless its VAC | |
| Whose sorry now? Sellers remorse from selling amp. Selling Cary slm -200's. That is the best tube I have ever had. Bought a Wolcott Presence amp with the money and had total remorse with that sound |
