Let's hear from previous owners to see why they sold theirs. |
more to the point we would wish to hear from owners of the Mk II that have upgraded to the Mk III |
That's an easy one: The best amplfier on the face of the planet just got better! Now it's even better than the best. It's the bestest amp ever...PERIOD....all friggen bets are off! Likely will be for a good long time too....until they release the Mk IV. Then it'll serve better use as a door stop or a boat anchor. By then you'll be sure to see those Mk III's at the highway exits in big city's with cardboard signs reading, "Will Amplify for Small Change...God Bless" Sheeit, there's even a Mk I turning tricks down in the Central District! I ran into an Audiophile at a meeting who'd succumbed in a moment of weakness and got some rash that he can't get rid of now.

it was just a matter of time when somebody had to take a jab at dk. if somebody can't stick to the subject, they shouldn't chime in at all. personnaly, i thought it was a good question. i would also like to know why there are so many selling their vs1 mk2. |

A brilliant and insightful question no doubt. One that is asked ad nauseum
on practically a daily basis about any given component that has miraculously
been succeeded by something better, faster, cheaper, prettier, more modern,
using the very latest technology has to offer, thicker billet, more blue lights,
please your wife in bed with a bigger johnson, blah, blah, blah. Watch your
hard earned dollars turn the gears of capitalism! Effective advertising and
promotion....and DK has thus far been a master at that. I have nothing
whatsoever against them or their amps, or their mastery of promotion, but I
think the fervor that kind of advertising and promotion causes is hilarious.
That kind of crap is so easy to make fun of because I deal with it in my work
every day. I'm not really making fun of DK as much as the folks who buy into
the steady stream of upgradidis. Hey, I speak from experience. I went
through the program and got help. Had the shakes and cold sweats
something fierce for what seemed like weeks on end. Finally busted out of
Betty Ford when the Chief put a hole in the wall with that big-ass sink. Now
I'm back here making fun of the pushers and the junkies while I shoot up with
another fix of silver speaker wire and NOS tubes.
It's a damn fine question, and I'm sorry I didn't think of it myself. Why the
heck are you guys selling off your DK amps? Was it that recall about the
exploding gas tanks on the Mk 2? Maybe it's because the new amps come
with a half dozen drool buckets you can hand out to your friends when they
listen to your system! No more cleaning up those pesky puddles of drool like
there was with the Mk 1 and Mk 2. In addition, the buckets are large enough,
and engineered in such a way that they can actually catch their jaws before
they drop and hit the floor, for which your friends will be eternally grateful.
