Anyone heard of DK design group?

Awesome!

Where is this amp made?

This amp is made in China.

There's a slightly used one listed on AG right now.

The owner seems to suggest that it leans a tad more to the tube side than the SS side which can be good if that is where you want/need to take your system.

I was lucky enough to get their VS-1 version (exactly the same as the VS-2 but slightly different in appearance ogf the front face-plate only) and their HT-1 (their home theater/multi-channel integrated amp) at the great intro/test price a few months ago. I have talked to Les at dkdesignsgroup and they are extremely helpful in suggestions of which components/cables to use.

Happy I got them when I did. Personally, I prefer there initial more clean/suttle faceplates than the current one.

Actually, the VS-1 and the VS-1 Mk. 2 are quite different electrically from what I got from DK Design Group. It is not just a different looking faceplate. The VS-1 Mk. 2 uses better quality transformers, higher quality transistors, better wire, and there have been several capacitor changes on the circuit board among many other modifications. Also, I think that the new VS-1 MK. 2 has a much cooler and much more futuristic look to it.
