Bad review time. The Raysonic SP-100 gets hammered by SoundStage! in a comparison to DK Design's beastly VS.1 Reference Mk II. Now, the DK is $2995 while the Raysonic is $1799. That's a difference of a massive $1200. Combine that with the VS.1's 150 watts of solid state power to Raysonic's 40 tube watts and this review is anything but fair. The DK killed the Raysonic? You don't say...

There is a second opinion from another reviewer who likes the Raysonic when compared to similarly priced tube gear. Really, though, any comparisons to DK's way-too-cheap hybrid giant seem just a bit unbalanced. I don't know why DK was sold to LSA considering they were a young company with tons of great press. But if the stunning sound and massive industrial construction is any indication, DK couldn't have been making the margins needed to survive.

LSA does produce parts of DK's stable but I'm told they've been tweaking the hell out of DK's goodies since their acquisition which strikes me as strange considering how well all their products were received in the first place.
