Decware: a worthwhile option?

I currently have a Decware Phono stage and a Torii JR in my system. My speakers are 96dB open baffles. The Torii JR is not one of their flea watts. It’s more like a hybrid SET / Push Pull. That beings said, I think their 2 watt would have been fine in my system. At design line voltage, the volume never goes above 2. Speaker sensitivity is key. I use a Bob’s Devices SUT for LO carts. I wouldn’t let the accessories dissuade you. They are generally geared towards folks that need to boost a DAC because they don’t have a line stage or who want to dip their toes into Tube gear. I see a lot of people on the Decware forums who buy them but then resell because they were not needed. Be aware that if you go down this road, every weakness in you system will be exposed. I thought I had a quiet system until I got into high sensitivity speakers. I would also look at the bass in your system. I found that I had to introduce a subwoofer with the Decware amp / speaker combo. I was getting volume but not room pressure. This could be my NOS tubes, SET circuit, or the amp. I’m really not sure.

I wrote to Decware several days ago about a product and haven’t heard anything back as of yet so I get what dvc27 is saying.

You're better off giving them a call. Steve is a busy man and is more apt to have a phone conversation than an email one. I've spoken with him a couple of times and he's very friendly (as is his staff) and won't oversell you. I believe they're backlogged with orders for 5-6 months at this point. 

I've always had an interest in their amps, but never pulled the trigger.  On various forums there is a a lot of positive chatter for Decware, and when one goes up for sale on the 'Gon, it's usually gone in a day or two.

I got a super zen triode amp about a month ago after waiting 6 months for it to be built. Well worth the wait and a great value and I love that it’s made by people who care in the USA. I have many amps and this is as good as anything I’ve heard. It has it’s quirks and might not be the end all be all to all listeners, depends on what kind of listening you do. The quality of sound you get for 1000 bucks is unreal and in many ways it’s as good as amps I have and have heard that are 10X as expensive. Zen is probably a good name for it because it’s those chill and zen like moments when this thing can really connect with you. If you don’t play super loud and have decent efficiency speaker then yes this could be your amp and if you only have 1000 bucks to spend it’s a no brainer.  When a company has a long waiting list to get their products and you hardly see them used it's a pretty good sign

Anyone have any experience with their pre-amplifiers?

If so how would you describe the sonic chararacteristics?
