My system has changed significantly with the addition of my ne Singlepower Maestro headphone/pre amp. This has totally taken the system to the next level. Much more spacious presentation than the Dared and certainly more detail. It's also a little smoother which is always nice on the ears. I'll post pics soon.
Unfortunately, I don't have anything to rate the Dared's against. They are actually my first pieces of tubed equipment. I really like the sound. I have never heard such sweet midrange in my life. I'm sure there's a lot better out there but being that I'm coming from solid state, it's a major step up. I do wish they hade a little more power though. My speakers are only 94db, which isn't bad but it's not great either. I think SET amps were made for horns.
