Dartzeel amp lives up to hype

Thanks Earlappin ...very helpful. The Linns I like due to the exactly same reasons u suggest; slam, tight and controlled bass that is deep yet not muddy, and overall smoothness and consistency across the spectrum...yet I do know it lacks that tonal color and density as you described well and having been trying to think what to do for awhile.

I want to comment about the Dartzeel failure at my home a couple months ago. When it blew a channel, we were swaping pre amps trying to see which pre was most synergistic with the Dartzeel. On initial power up a Dart channel blew. At that point I removed that pre amp, which hand never given me any trouble, and went back to the Supratek Grange. Because I alredy new I liked that one best with my current amp. But recently I put that old preamp into my system, and it blew a fuse on my power amp on power up. So mabey that pre was the caused the channel to blow in the Dart. I say mabey because, mabey the Dartzeel damaged the pre. I don't know for sure. However, the pre was a old pre and I suspet that it caused the channel to go out in the Dartzeel.

I Just wanted others to know that may be considering the Dartzeel.

Dlanselm: Certainly a single call to me could have given you the answers you are looking for. I do not even know who you are. Where did you purchase the amplifier?

It sounds to me like your preamplifier has a problem and sent DC out to the amplifier. The fuse in the amplifier did it's job.

If you want more help, please give me a call or email me.

Jtinn....a novice question: I have been considering to purchase the NHB combo....(I live in HK)...but the power amp placement needs to be in front of a ceiling to floor window....given its transparent top, is this a extremely bad idea for the NHB?

Jtinn,

I was trying to state the DARTZEEL is NOT prone to failure.
I don't own the Dart, I was auditioning one.

If you read post 2-15-06 in this thread your will know.
