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.

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!

Chris
Thanks, Glide3, I very much appreciate your evaluation. Please keep us up to date.
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
I heard the Dartzeel and VR9 combination at the CES 2006 and was very dissappointed with the soundstaging and tonality. The dynamics and bass were staggering on rock/pop, the walls were shaking..just like a rock/pop concert. Traditional instruments did not impress.

Please post any further opionions of these products especially how they compare to the CES sound. I am considering the VR9
