Anyone heard of DK design group?

The top cover is a thick aluminum panel with four holes near the front over the power transformers. Under the cover is an identically sized black mesh screen. You can remove the cover altogether and use just the screen, which lets you see the tubes glowing in their cages near the back of the amp. It also provides better ventilation, although that's clearly unnecessary as the amp runs very cool.

I don't believe the cover positioning is a misake. The cover probably is positioned with the holes toward the front to provide convection cooling for the two power transformers. Convection cooling for the tubed preamp section is provided by openings in the rear panel.

Hello, Telescope trade

I also have the HPS 938 and am interested in the DK.
Do you use biwire or single? And what speakercable do you have?
Thanks from Holland

Does anyone have the physical address for Blue Diamond Audio in Nevada---a dealer for the DK-VS1 Mk II integrated. I need to send them something, and they won't return my calls.

They do not list their address on their website.

Yep, I find Blue Diamond Audio a pretty suspicious outfit.
They claim to sell all kinds of high end gear (Levinson, B&W speakers, Krell, McIntosh, ARC etc), but are NOT listed as a dealer on any of those manufacturers sites! When you call them, they will tell you that the VS-1 smokes all this other high end gear that they sell. Hmmmmmmm.

A lookup on Whois shows that Blue Diamond Audio uses the exact same webserver as DKDesignGroup.com Hmmmmmmmm.

Blue Diamond Nevada itself has a population of 282 people.
Anyone care to check what actually lies at 912 Village Lane in Blue Diamond Nevada?

Of course it all may be legit.
