| Douk Audio. Any experience with any of their products? Ok, this is a different model than I thought you were talking about. This is clearly an active preamp, and does indeed have vacuum tubes. And yes, it is not passive. They would do well to get someone with stronger language skills to write these... | |
| Douk Audio. Any experience with any of their products? The cylinders you see are the transformers. There are no tubes. | |
| Douk Audio. Any experience with any of their products? It's passive since it uses transformers, rather than active electronics. This one is pretty cheap for what it is. The alternative is an active MC head amp. These can get quite expensive. | |
| Is anyone still using kimber 4pr? I've still use Kimber 4PR to this day on my office system. 4VS on the main system. I still feel that Kimber is one of the most transparent speaker cables, especially for the money. | |
| What drugs do you use to enhance your listening experience? Really appreciate some very funny posts. Some others take this just too seriously. Take a deep breath. I often listen just as I am. Maybe a cup of coffee or tea. Pot on the other hand, is an amplifier on its own. With a beer or two, it makes for a... | |
| Douk Audio. Any experience with any of their products? I found some images of the Dartzeel amp. Looks amazing, but I don't think there is any connection with the audio kits and components sold on ebay under the Douk name. | |
| Viva, no longer a fan I have no experience with Viva at all. So, not necessarily a comment on them specifically. I have however sold and serviced audio gear for nearly 40 years, and see this as a big warning sign. I personally would not support a product from a comp... | |
| Speakers in the 5-6K$ region & their components I have owned, serviced and sold many pairs of speakers over the years. I can tell you without a doubt that measuring a speaker by the total cost of the drivers is a mistake. I would use some specific examples, but I don’t want to step on any toes.... | |
| When will we ever hear turntables demoed fairly? Having worked a time in audio retail, this is just not practical. This is such a costly business to operate. Unboxing and reducing the value of even more components, and the additional work of actually switching arms out just makes it an even lo... | |
| Douk Audio. Any experience with any of their products? This is one of several pieces that interested me. For a single ended tube amp of this sort, the price is dirt cheap. I did notice that what appears to be the same amp on Amazon, received several good reviews. One thing that did put me off was t... | |
| Turntable Advice I second the SOTA reccomendation. A step up from REGA (IMHO) and definitely available used in your price range. A Sapphire is much closer to a LP12, if not superior. They sometimes show up in your price range used. | |
| Douk Audio. Any experience with any of their products? The Chinese tubes themselves are bound to be the weakest part. Western NOS are best in breed, then the (former?) soviet tubes, and finally Chinese. It can be quite surprising as to what a difference this can make. Seems the chinese electronics ... | |
| Douk Audio. Any experience with any of their products? Thanks Bill. That's great to hear. New components go through a break in period, so it's understandable the sound improved over time. It's great to actually hear about the sonics of one of their products. They seem almost too good to be true f... | |
| Douk Audio. Any experience with any of their products? I do appreciate the info on ebay feedback. What I'm really looking for is any experience with the sound of their products. | |
| Douk Audio. Any experience with any of their products? Thanks for the responses. Glad to know they make good issues with failed products. I'm really interested in finding someone who actually bought either a tube kit, or a completed tube amp product from these folks. While they appear to have some ... |
