Dk Design VS-1 Mk. 2 Amp with Von Schweikerts?
I spoke to Daniel Khesin at DK and asked about this volume problem at low levels that some people reported, since I did not have this problem on my unit. He told me that this problem was isolated to about 20 units that left the factory without bei... 
Anyone heard of DK design group?
The DK amplifier is a terrific amp and I am very happy with it. I think that the rumor about Conrad Johnson is complete nonsense. By the way, I have also tried contacting Blue Diamond Audio and no one answers the phone and I never got a reply to e...

Krell KSA 50 vs. todays ss amps?
I think that the older Krells like the KSA50 are better sounding then the newest Krells being manufactured now. The older Krell has a very sweet sound with lots of presence and midrange warmth. It delivers the musical goodies. In comparison, the H... 
Conrad Johnson 350 vs Pass Labs X amp
The CJ has a very layered and rich sound with a very wide and deep soundstage and focused images. The Pass has a livelier sound with better extension at the frequency extremes and larger images. So its like trying to decide between blondes and bru... 
Dk Design VS-1 mkII what tubes are you using??
I got my VS-1 Mk.2 a few weeks ago. It sounds so amazing that I decided to splurge on some very exotic tubes. I bought a matched pair of Siemes CCA (the early 60's version) for $300/pr and a pair of the Mullard CV2492 for $160/pr from PartsConnexi...
