I am almost sorry I asked the question ... but it has been amusing seeing the responses.
It would seem as though some of those who switched from the Kharmas to VR-9 were efforts to improve the dynamics for playback of rock music. Which goes back to one of my previous questions regarding the Tenor/Kharma/emm lab combo for alternative rock and whether it was an appropriate consideration for this genre. I will have to answer that myself with serious listening.
In terms of the switch to DarTZeel from Tenor, I wonder how many people were anxious just to give up tubes. On the other hand, I also wonder whether some of the switchers have had equipment failure problems with their Tenor equipment. Are there any quality control issues with the Tenor equipment or is their any financial viability issues with Tenor Audio ?
