Regarding DK Design Vs.1 Reference Mk2 amp ???

I still say the answer to the question is that DK Mk II amps are being sold off because the Mk III has been released. Either dealers are dumping their Mk II inventory, or Mk II owners are dumping their amps to move on to the Mk III. In any case, this thread doesn't appear to me to have anything to do with shilling for DK.

I agree Tvad, here is

Shilling for DK and everyone else

See, there's no mention of the DK Shilling anywhere in that link!

Where's "Betterthencrack" when you need him?!?!

I'm turning blue here holding my breath, and now there are sixteen Mk II's
including two auctions. Three Mk III's too...maybe you oughta ask them as
well!

In comparison there are four Bose 901 speaker sets for sale. There are three
PrimaLuna amps which have also undergone a popular and rapid sucession of
their line (Prologue One, Two and Three...and one other as I seem to recall).
Jolida Amps...there are currently five used ones for sale...two 202's and three
302's. There are a buttload of Pass Labs X series amps currently for sale,
which exceeds the number of DK. What's it all really mean in the grand
scheme of high-end audio, as far as you, the individual user is concerned?
IMNSHO, absolutely whatever you want it to mean. You can speculate till the
cows come home. It still will mean the same (no)thing!!! Judge the stuff with
the two ears you got, and all three if you've got an extra! Make up your own
damn mind. No doubt DK has a product worthy of your consideration, in
whatever encarnation. So do a whole gaggle of other amp manufacturers (is
that "gaggle" or "herd"??!!).

Many people are selling the DK Mark II's as TVAD said, simply becaue the Mark III is out.
It's the search for the better and best, I guess.
Three obvious changes, Better Caps, the Cardas,a variable output for those who want to use a sub (this may be a reason for many to move to the Mark III) and better binding posts.
Most of the audiophiles I have known through the years are just looking to improve their system, and this is a move forward, not earth shattering, but only $200. more at the retail level. The changes were in response to customer input.
Thanks, and I hope this answers the basic question.
Best,
