"I'd have to say that most owners are probably listening to music and not writing about the DK."

"Keep telling yourself that."

LOL!

Excellent Brian..

Ellery, I looked at your system and I believe you should refrain from making comments as the only standard set by the makers of your amplifier is the company going out of business!

Jim,

Actually, NOT TRUE. Electrocompaniet was acquired and is doing quite fine Jim. Do your research before you make bold statements like that.

Gunbei, here is the link you are looking for:

Kid, the statements by Jim are true. Electrocompaniet has filed for bankruptcy in Norway. Per Abramsen, the lead designer at Electrocompaniet has formed a new entity called ECS Holdings, Ltd. which is now responsible for the manufacture of all of the Electrocompaniet products moving forward. So, do you think a company is doing well if it has to declare bankruptcy?

This may be very hard for your die-hard DK bashers to swallow, but part of the reason Electrocompaniet got hit so hard is because DK has become one of the most popular and sought after amplifiers in Norway and other nearby countries...

Want more proof? Home Studio Magazine in the Netherlands (many times larger and more influential then Stereophile) declared: "It is the best amplifier I have ever had in this house and it is my new reference."

So, DK bashers - its Game Over for you. And if you keep feeding the flames, you only inadvertantly spread the news about DK products to other people, thereby making it even more popular.

The manufacturer's response to Brian's review reminds me how all too often it is forgotten that no one product is the best and everyone has different tastes.

I'm glad DK has found a market.
