No, but knowing DarTZeel, I'm confident it sounds amazing.
Other suggestions would be the Hegel H590 or H600 and the HiFi Rose RA280, but...neither of these are a DarTZeel, obviously.
So, if it's in your budget, I would go for it.

I own it. Watch our YouTube videos of it.

Used to own Nagra separates. Currently own Accuphase Class A. Read and heard great things about Dartzeel. Only concern is whether pairing with Sonus faber will be too warm/soft/slow.
I watch all your videos. Wasn't aware you have one for the LHC-208?

Yeah, you don't need to worry about that. McIntosh with SF? Yeah, I could see that.
Dart? Um....no. I'm sure Mike has experience that will prove to be informative, as well.
My personal view: if you have the budget/"discretionary spend" funds to get DarTZeel...get it.
Cheers.

The best I have ever heard with SF was being driven by Jadis. I've heard Sonus with several brands the Jadis combo is the only one I'd actually could listen to. Personally I feel Mac & SF are not doing either favors by showing together.
I have not heard Dartzeel.

I've also heard (and owned some) McIntosh, AVM, Naim, Gryphon, Accuphase, Nagra, and Audio Note. The best so far are Audio Note Cobra (tube) and Nagra Classic stack (tube preamp).
Do you remember which Jadis you hear the Sonus faber with? Was it high power or low power flavour? My room is quite small at 13" x 13". Bigger tube amp might be too toasty.

I don't recall the model it was a couple years back I do recall the integrated was around $10k USD. I did a quick search but didn't find anything on the room, however, I did see there are a couple YouTube videos showing the Jadis/SF combo. My guess the Jadis had to have a good amount of power to drive the SF properly.
I'm with you on Nagra. They were stellar with Stenheim

It might have been for a used Dart CTH-8550 integrated. I've seen some of the orginal Mk I units selling on AG in the price range of $8500-$10K. WONDERFUL integrated, and absolutely amazing-sounding; one of the top-3 best-sounding audio components I have ever heard.
Mike is now carrying DarTZeel and recently posted a video on YT of the CTH-8550 MkII playing with the Clarisys speakers.
I’m also interested in this piece. I looked on YouTube and couldn’t find clips of the LHC-208 mkII. Please say more about where to find. Thanks in advance.
