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.

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!

Glide3, do you have an update on the darTZeel amp now that it's had a chance to break in? I just bought the amp and pre-amp myself. Expect the amp to arrive next week and the pre-amp in late January / early February.

Thanks
