DK Design VS- Reference vs Signature

I heard a system with Consonance Droplet CD player, DK integrated (mk. 3), and Kharma speakers. The sound was just out of this world. My friend told me he had never heard Kharma's sound this good.

>Signature exhibits the classic solid state glare that we all know and love(not easy to do though)<

Yeah, that's a sound I reeeeaallly love. So much that I have had no desire to live with a SS amp for years now......

Oz, my post meant to read "when driven into hard clipping, which is hard to do, considering the outstanding dynamic capabilities of the amp, it (signature) exhibits the same solid state glare that we all know and love (I am being facetious of course). This last statement was targeted at tube cognoscenti like you to illustrate the point that though it is indeed a solid state amp (as evidenced by the above caveat) unless forced beyond its considerable limits it sounds wonderful, and in fact exhibits some of the best qualities of tube amps. I'm like you, for about the last 25 years, my system consided of primarily tube amplification. Conrad Johnson PV-6 and more recently the Melos SHA-1 preamps, Michaelson and Austin TVA and Moscode amps. There will always be a place for tube amplification for me, in fact I'm tracking down the best tube integrated for an office system to use with Totem Arros for closed miked, more intimate works with the occasional orchestrated piece (any suggestions?) but the DK Mk III looks like it's going to be a permanent fixture in my living room.

Larry, do you plan to have a room at CES?

Artmaltman,
We have two rooms at the WCES in Las Vegas, Room 2002 and 2004 at the St. Tropez Hotel, which is next door to the Alexis Park.
We have new products that we are introducing at the show, so it should be an exciting time for all of us at DK.
Thanks for your interest.
Larry
