Dartzeel amp lives up to hype


I purchased a fully broken in Dartzeel about a week ago to drive the Von Schweikert VR-7SE. I was concerned about the 100w power rating and was put to ease when I switched it on. Powerful tight bass and the sweetest midrange and delicate highs one could hope for. Transparency is way ahead of all other amps I've had. Definitely lives up to the reviews.

thanks on the remote info...as there are no formal reviews out there was under the wrong impression...I am too lazy to do without one and the feel the sonic impact of the purist approach of no remote is not meaningful...one reason why despite their stellar rep, have no interest in Lamm pre-amps etc.

On the Dart pre...perhaps Jtinn can help can educate us but given what you and Mike have said on production of so far...when are we going to see more economies of scale production and commercial availability? For those who are interested in auditioning but living in places (me: Hong Kong) this is something to consider...one can wait only so much!
Earflappin....Can you provide a bit more "color" on how the DARTs differ with the Linn Klimazz Solos...the latter which I currently use? I have been considering "upgrading" amps and your exp with both would be most helpful...thanks in advance
Thanks Earlappin ...very helpful. The Linns I like due to the exactly same reasons u suggest; slam, tight and controlled bass that is deep yet not muddy, and overall smoothness and consistency across the spectrum...yet I do know it lacks that tonal color and density as you described well and having been trying to think what to do for awhile.
Jtinn....a novice question: I have been considering to purchase the NHB combo....(I live in HK)...but the power amp placement needs to be in front of a ceiling to floor window....given its transparent top, is this a extremely bad idea for the NHB?
