DarTzeel’s new direction


Looks like DarTzeel is looking to start producing more affordable equipment. After reading a statement by the man himself he has decided to shift from ultra hiend to a more affordable alternative to his designs.

Never heard of Dartzeel that I can remember. However, kind of interesting since I will be in Geneva next week. He is in Plan les Ouates, just a couple miles away. May pay them a visit if feasible. 

@jasonbourne71 I don’t think bragging rights are why, an

exotic sports car would definitely be better.

He isn’t abandoning his statement products but looking to offer a glimpse of what they can do to a wider audience. The true test will be are they going to be high value at their price point. Remember most companies that produce statement products tend to trickle down that technology into somewhat more affordable products. 

Dartzeel puts a disproportionate amount of time, effort, and money into developing their casework to jewelry like standards.  This is reflected in their price.  Dartzeel could “easily” put the same circuitry into a lower cost casework without sacrificing performance, thus lowering the price.  

I’ve heard that Dartzeel integrated amp/streamer one box set up at the audio show a few months ago and it’s fantastic .. not sure how much it costs, but one of the best one box setups in the world I would think.

Personally I love the gold finish, I only want black, wood panels, champagne or gold finish on my gear... Whenever I see hideous bare aluminum or silver is the only option it goes straight to the crap  I’d never buy part of my brain.
