    Dared Dv-200 parallel PP KT88 help.

    My first post here so point me elsewhere if I’m wrong. Brother in law brought me the above monoblock in bad shape with no schematic. Could not find schematic so went ahead with repairs using the “good” monoblock as reference. Determined a coupling cap had shorted internally and taken out a...

    Dared VP-845

    Hey fellow AK members, I have a Dared VP-845 amp that has recently stopped working. Tubes are lighting up but no sound. Not getting any reading on ammeter when hooked up to a variac and also appears the plate voltage and bias for driver tube and preamp is missing. I was wondering if anyone...

    Contact info for Dared audio?

    Hello all - Does anyone have a suggestion on contacting Dared Audio? Messages through their main website (in Hong Kong?) go unanswered and I’m hoping someone her can direct me to a North American source (distributor, dealer, etc.) so I can get some info. The remote on my SL2000 preamp has...

    Dared SL 2000a tube preamp remote replacement?

    Hello all - I recently put this preamp back into my office setup and found the remote (the small blue one that looks like it goes on a keychain) to be non-functional. Replaced the battery and the red light is now continuously on. Tried to use it and the preamp had a squealing electronic sound...

    Dared SL-2000A w/ SS Amp Help

    Hey y'all, So I recently just bought my first tube preamp, a Dared SL-2000A, really excited to get it up and running. I set it up the other day with my SS Amp, a Yamaha R-S202...I know it's not a good amp, and I knew before buying this preamp that I might have to change the amp out eventually...

    300B tubes running cold

    I'm a very happy owner of a used Dared SET 300B pair of 'quasi-monoblocks'. But neither of the 300B tubes get hot or glow red. And I mean they are room temperature to touch -- I had them on for about ten hours yesterday, checked them in complete darkness -- no glow or heat. I haven't opened...

    The Dared VP-16 nightlight!

    Aside from the obvious (glows beautifully in the dark), this integrated amp sounds marvelous...smooth, lush, full-bodied, and is extremely dynamic and detailed. His '94 Klipsch KG 3.2s are more than efficient enough (94dB @ 1W/1M) to be driven by this 12 watt amp, and imaging and soundstage are...

  8. My brother's last tube amp (for now anyway...)

    My brother's last tube amp (for now anyway...)

    My brother's most recent buy, a 2004 Dared VP-16 12 WPC PP integrated tube amp from mainland China, consisting of 4 stock Chinese military 6V6 output tubes, and a pair of 6SL6 preamp tubes. Wants to do some NOS tube rolling very soon. One of it's rather different (if not garish) features are the...
