DK Design VS-1 versus 300b sound


There has been a lot of discussion about the merits of the DK Design VS-1 MKII. I am curious about how lovers of the seductive sound of 300b tubes have felt when listening to this amplifier and whether this amp truly can bring together the bass slam of solid state with the warmth and musicality of the 300b.

Could we turn down the hostility? It's fine if you love it or hate it, but why not show a little respect to other people on the thread. I would hate for things to get to the point where somebody who wanted to learn something was afraid to ask a question.

some of the DK claims may be over the top, but this industry is filled with hype like "giant killer," "beats everything twice it's price" etc. etc.

I think we will all know more about how good DK is when more people hear the product, but why bash something you haven't heard? Why attack somebody who likes the product? If the amp sucks, word will get out quickly, it will just be another flavor of the month, and they will go away.

I've had a chance to listen to the amp extensively. At the risk of angering many of you with my opinion, it's a very good amp! I'm not a dealer, and I don't care what you buy, but I think many of you might be surprised at how good this thing is. High end gear is getting better and cheaper, and I think that's great!

It's not for everybody, and it may not be for you, but how about listening to the amp before you decide if it's any good? Dk dealers will give you back your money if you don't like it, and that's about as fair as you can get.

Thanks
