DK Design Review

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.

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.

OMG!!!...problems at Electrocompaniet? C'mon...tell me something OTHER than LAST YEARS news.

And you know how much I care? NADA...cause it's just sitting on a shelf now collecting dust.

But the real kicker is that even for a company that is having/had problems...whatever...the depreciation hit is still far less than for the DK's.

Go ahead...make fun of my system all you want...booo hooooo.
