I feel like amplifiers that get into the five and six digit range especially, should be covered by a warranty that’s longer than that of a vehicle. One of the brands that really stands out who put their money where their mouth is, is Bryston. A 20-year warranty that is transferable speaks volumes about how a manufacturer stands behind their product. I have owned and still own a number of Pass Labs amplifiers and can only comment on what I’ve owned. I have never had an issue with my x-600 monos or my X150.5. Ever. The D,Ag products are certainly one of the most beautiful looking amplifiers I’ve ever seen in my life, especially since I am a meter guy. I cannot say that I have yet auditioned their new amplifiers but I did just buy a house out in Arizona and would love to go check them out. DS
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.
