New Factory, Same Ambition | Michael Fremer Tours darTZeel

[@jorgeareyzaga504]

I hope future videos of factory tours include more details on product design, listening rooms or what they do differently from other manufacturers, and not so much time going through huge warehouses, empty rooms and endless discussions on faceplate finishing.

a 2 hour documentary about the volume knob is next

Love this brand. Can’t afford it but I sure love how it looks.

[@spacejaime]

As of two months ago, the new facilities are sure "work-in-progress". Not even a single listening room (at least not yet). Testing with Klipsch speakers, well that is a shock given this guy is a genius in music electronics design!

[@billarmstrong5568]

Very interesting to see the factory and its surroundings. Thanks for all your efforts Michael, have a great 2023🎶

Beautiful gear! I sit here in my $900 motorhome, listening to this video through an $8 Class D amp, a pair of smashed-up Yamaha thrift-store speakers and a cobbled-up old Paradigm powered sub, but I'm not complaining! We live in an age where even very cheap gear can be VERY satisfying to listen to...

[@DarronBirgenheier]

I don't even believe (subject to being proven wrong) that the high-end analog gear even sounds better, but I'd still own some, if I ever come into SERIOUS money, just because it's fascinating stuff.

[@koblongata]

Learned about this company because some company on Taobao proudly claimed they stole the design and made exact copy for 1/10th of the price XD

[@spacejaime]

On your next visit, stop by Vacheron and get me an Overseas Self Winding in pink gold.

Just wonder how sound get better with red color aluminum or with laser printer text on front panel. Seems that they are going off the road now . Any explanations??

[@saulzamir8709]

I dont think Mr. fremer will ever reply to you on this issue, as he can't admit that the laser printer on the front panel got nothing to do with getting a better quality of sound from the amps while more than 60% of his coverage was about that issue. It's true that the type of material and design of the frames can influence the quality of the amps sound [ vibrations, magnetic ] It also can help the average audiophile to get his wife's permission to the crazy cost of the system and allow them to put it in the living room. and also we know that some audiophiles buy those amps with their eyes and forget to listen using their ears.

How many dealers currently sell Dartzeel in the US? How many by the end of 2024? Thanks.

Loving the content guys! Very cool tour! Can you work on syncing up the audio/video just a bit better? Teach Michael to clap for your editors!

[@jochen3068]

What percentage do you get on the devices if you are an employee?

[@AGK-l3s]

This is an office n warehouse tour. After this, I will click “Report” Misleading

[@crisbravbr]

The way he talks about faceplates… it’s like all they do is the finish of the product. I was hoping they talk about the technology inside, not the looks.

[@amcore6281]

ich habe mal nachgeschaut..die Mono Blöcke kosten in Deutschland 220.000 Euro...dagegen sind Boulder ,Vitus und CH ja richtige Sonderangebote ;) Ganz ehrlich..irgendwo sollte der Spaß auch aufhören und der gang zum Psychiater selbstverständlich sein . in diesem Sinne 👍

[@franklindrebin00]

Die hören sich trotzdem der Wahnsinn an. Die Geräte sind wirklich richtig gut mit sehr speziellen Schaltungen. PS. Die gibt's mit Recherche auch wesentlich günstiger.

[@NackDSP]

I just don't think the cabinet is thick enough on these. One or two inches thick is a minimum to avoid noise. I would like to see more second harmonic distortion. Tastefully done by the most expensive components possible. Balanced inputs and outputs are so last year. High end would be three phase audio connections with custom milled connectors and two inch diameter cables with magnetic levitation lifts.

[@saulzamir8709]

Hello Michael, I want to ask you on two points about the coverage, first, why cover the same company twice in such a short time ? after all, we have other high-end companies that I believe many audiophiles own and be interested in covering their production facility. The second point, I want to believe that even you noticed how much attention time, and money is invested by that company for example in manufacturing the face plate of their products. after all what is really the connection between the beautiful face plate and how it contributes to the quality of the sound. besides being able to charge and justify by the look of it more money for the product. after all Rolex watches you wear on your wrist and is able to show the "poor people" on the streets how big you are. but shlepping Dartzeel to the streets realy...??

[@dougg1075]

Really? I’m broke as a joke but I still like to read about expensive cars and audio.

[@AccuphaseMan]

He hasn't covered DartZeel in three years? DartZeel is his reference amplification, you would expect him to have an interest in the company. Highend watches are statements of craftsmanship and quality. When you walk in the street, how many people do you remember wearing a rolex watch? Personally, I've never been that close to a stranger for more than a second, let alone long enough to admire their watch. On a side note, Rolex is a non-profit whose parent company is one of the largest charities in the world. For DartZeel, it is also a statement piece highlighting the craftsmanship of Geneva, the faceplate just happens to be what they were working on at the time. You're clearly trying to make yourself feel better by belittling brands that you can't afford.

[@saulzamir8709]

@@AccuphaseMan He just covered DartZeel first time just couple a of months ago. What the craftsmanship of Genev got to do with good sound ? We want our money to be invested in the highest quality circuits possible to create the best sound within everyone's budget, what has a pretty face plate got to do with it ?? How do you know what I can afford or not ?? the name of the game is to enjoy the music !! that is what makes me feel better not looking at a box and saying to myself wow it sounds great because the face plate is made of gold. We are listening with our ears not with our eyes !!
