Regarding DK Design Vs.1 Reference Mk2 amp ???

Never heard of it!

I had a yellow Chevy II Nova in high school that I sold for $400 They sell today for between $12-$20,000. I obviously didn't know what I had.

Audio Gear is a commodity, just like anything else, and if someone can make a quick profit on a piece and leverage the purchase of a newer upgraded or more highly touted piece, then they will. It all has little to do with the intrinsic value of the item in question and more to do with a percieved illusion of value.

Many of you, I'm sure have sold equipment at some point that you had regretted losing. When everyone who really wants one for its intrinsic value has one they will stop becoming so readily available.

The DK Design Amps will have a very significant place in audio lore when the dust settles and people realize that even at retail, this is one of the most significant audio values in the last 25 years(My years in the business).

By the way, I was offered a mint stock cherry Dino Ferrari for $25k in the 80s. They go for as much as $100k today.

If you were able to snag a DK for ridiculous discount, you might just want to hang on to it. It has all the makings of a cult item.

Let me sum this up....

You sold an old Chevy Nova for $400 and its worth $12K to $20K.
You Didn't buy a $25K Dino thats now worth 100k.
You now recommend we buy DK's because they will be a collectors item!

By your own admission you missed two opportunities. Doesn't logic dictate that two mistakes are more likely to be followed by a third mistake?

Actually, because of the cost of amps available on the 'gon you could probably buy them all, get a corner on the market, and someday be a millionaire! Or not.

Our 1978 Klipschorns retailed for just under $1600/pr, and are now worth around $2-2200. I think putting some cash into GE stock would have offered a slightly better rate of return, but no cowbell.

Something I read once in the Seattle newspaper: if you had purchased a home on Capitol Hill (a pricey neighborhood in Seattle) when they cost $1000, you'd be a millionaire. Well, actually you'd be dead. Your descendants, on the other hand...
