Dartzeel amp lives up to hype


I purchased a fully broken in Dartzeel about a week ago to drive the Von Schweikert VR-7SE. I was concerned about the 100w power rating and was put to ease when I switched it on. Powerful tight bass and the sweetest midrange and delicate highs one could hope for. Transparency is way ahead of all other amps I've had. Definitely lives up to the reviews.

Congrats, Snook. The DartZeel amp is one of the best audio purchases I've ever made--albeit an expensive one. I've heard and owned some of the best amps out there, regardless of price, and the Dart is the best I've heard. I was scared that there would be a backlash once all the positive reviews came out, but thankfully doesn't seem to be the case. It's pretty hard to argue against Herve's baby. I'm getting his NHB-18S preamp in the next few weeks or so. That should take things up another notch or two!
Sounds good Snook, but you should post your system with some pics so we can all drool. Happy listening!
I would find it very difficult to not have a SET. Do any of you have efficient enough speakers to use triodes and compared the DartZeel with one?
Norm,
I just got the DarTZeel... it's breaking in on my Exemplar horns...I just got the DarTZeel today.
My initial impressions are extremely positive.
I've had Exemplar 300b's, Border Patrol 300b's Tenor OTL's,Audiopax 88 mono's, Custom Wavelength 45's, Custom Fi 2a3's, Brooks 300b's, Verdier 845's luxe se's, Komura 845 SETs and probably a few others on the Exemplars in my room over the last couple of years.
I'm heading out of town early next week for a few weeks so serious listening will commence in the New Year.
These most definately sound like keepers so far!
Very nice~ I have never read anything negative on this unit. Would sure like to hear it.. Enjoy!
