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

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...

MORE cowbell baby !

Money, money, money. Hey, there are things more important than money. How about having a big DK?

I didn't recommend that anyone buy a DK VS I Mk II. I did recommend that if anyone has one that they might want to consider hanging on to it for its intrinsic value not its investment value. My post was targeted at audiophiles who may not realize what they have and would lose out by selling it because of how the product is denigrated by a community of people who for the most part have not even heard it. Do you know of anyone who has actually heard the amp that did not have good things to say about it? Does anyone out there who has actually heard it know of better sound and quality of construction for the ridiculous price of $1500 or less? Get real.

Assuming that the only investment choices that I have had in 30 years as an adult were the Nova and the Dino, your logic might hold water. Citing examples of successful trades wouldn't have made my point would it?

By the way, I just sold a Dynavector DV-501 for about what I paid for it in 1987. Rogers LS35as went for about $750 in the late 80s and go for upwards of a grand today. A Fidelity Research FR1 Mk IIIf just went for over $500 and in the 80s sold for about $350. The Denon 103d sells for more today than it did new. I've seen Dual CS-5000s go for more than their original selling price. Lots of stuff!
