I have no firsthand experience with the brand, so I can't speak from experience. However, there is a YouTuber I follow whose channel is devoted to ultra high-end audio (Wilson, Magico, Gryphon, Boulder, Pass, etc.), and the members-only section of his website includes a video in which he discusses brands that have a reputation for reliability issues. I would recommend checking it out. The channel is Jay's Audio Lab. By the way, you would think that any insanely expensive audio gear would last a decade or more without issue. That's what I thought too. Two equipment failures and Jay's video changed my mind.
Reliability of Dan D'Agostino equipment
I'm considering a purchase of one of the D'Agostino preamps, and eventually, an amplifier. I have learned from hard experience that high end brands, that should be bulletproof and reliable, and often anything but.
What is the experience of folks on the forum with regards to D'Agostino?
How often have you encountered problems?
Have the problems occurred within the three year warranty or out of warranty?
How long do repairs take, since if you place an order for a new item, the delay is three to six months for shipping?
Many thanks in advance for any responses.
