DK Design VS- Reference vs Signature
I have spent the better part of a year with the Mk II and about three months with the Signature. The Signiture has more impact top to bottom with a clearer and better focused midrange. The bass on the Signature is tighter and cleaner as well. Ther... 
PS Audio's new "Gain Cell" Amplifiers . . .
I remember the Quatre Gain Cell and it was "the" bass amp for Fried Transmission Lines. I remember it being very powerful but sounded much like the GAS (great american sound) amps of the day. Not too refined. PS Audio has in my experience and reco... 
Regarding DK Design Vs.1 Reference Mk2 amp ???
Newbee:I really didn't come into this with an opinion on the manner in which the product was marketed. My original post addressed the question of why so many of the the VS-1 Mk II were being sold. Daniel Khesin is a great guy who made a great prod...

Best amp for Rogers LS3/5a + AB1 subwoofer?
Yes!I sold the LS35a for a number of years. I wish that I had purchased a pair when I could have gotten them half price. Consider the imprudence of separates and the compromise of putting all but the very best interconnects between them. Buy an in... 
Best Integrated Amp, Price no obstacle?
The DK Design VS-1 Mk2 with a tube preamp stage and a solid state output stage is liquid and crystal clear with a rather pellucid presentation. It is also a beautiful design and built like a tank. I would be very surprised if anything at any price...
