I own a Decware system.I am currently using the select monoblocks[purchased in 2003]with the cce upgrade.Also the CSP preamp and HDT speakers.I own an Orgin Live Calypso turntable and use the Decware phono section with remote power supply and adjustable on the fly gain control.I use the Decware Z-box[a tube output stage]with my Cambridge Audio 540 Azur CDP and get an improvement that far exceeds the cost.Finally,all my interconnects,speaker cable,and main power cords[amps,preamp,and phono section]are Decware as well.This system is an emotional experience every time I spin a record,offering reference sound without the corresponding price tag.I had onwed a Naim system before, the main piece being the NAP 250 amp.The Naim system doesn't hold a candle to this decware system and I really don't care what you think.The lack of smugness and elitism with this company is the first clue.Hearing is confirmation of this.In closing,Decware products more than anything point out the lie of overpriced inferior "mainstream'audio equipment.
Decware - any substance here?
With such a nice and extensively detailed website, I've long been curious about Decware. But with little in the way of genuine reviews, and not much in the way of discussion here, I always wonder if they are nothing more than that, a great website. They clearly have a dedicated fanbase, but my problem with the fanbase is this: most of them (not all of course) seem to have limited experience with products besides Decware, as if they stumbled upon Decware and never bothered with other brands. Maybe this is positive, that once experienced they don't have the typical audiophile itch to try other amps. I'm specifically struck by the new Torii MKIII push-pull amp, which in description and looks is just beautiful. So does it interest anyone here? Has anyone actually heard it, or it's previous incarnations? If so how does it rate amongst the other quality tube amps, whether Blue Circle, Cary, Vac, Almarro, Atma-Sphere, etc...?
