    As a person who has been an audio enthusiast for 45 years or so, it still took my breath away when this opened up with the Wilsons standing there lording over the room. I would dearly love to spend some time in that room.

    I for sure followed the old Krell brand to the new D'Agostino brand by adding the Momentum Phonostage to my big Krell system, and what a match it was - Just amazing! Thank you Dan for your amazing amplifiers! All the best from Jk in Sweden.

    @Michael Fremer, i know you have the same speakers i see there and you use the darTZeel mono 468. Witch sound do you prefer? I’m also client of Wilson and darTZeel but in a smaller size 😅 I have the 8550 MK2 and the Alexia 2. I prefer the sound of the darTZeel instead the integrated of DA, its more musical to my ears.

    With $40k into a strong Mc amp, Revel 228's, an audio-technica MCC cart, and the RIGHT ROOM, I'm probably at 95% of this setup. Don't get me wrong though, I'd still like to hear that DD/Wilson audio jewelry.

    I'm trying to figure out, what would be the name of the flagship amplifier that will eventually follow the Relentless Epic? I'd suggest DOMINANCE. Then the upgrade, TOTAL DOMINANCE. Next upgrade, ABSOLUTE DOMINANCE.

    • @scottwolf8633
      @scottwolf8633 10 месяцев назад

      "True high end", can be DIY, money, moot. I now prefer OTLs both Class AB and Single Ended, so I build them from Kits. Same with DACs. Loudspeakers, well the Lowther DX 65's, Raal 140-15D's and Jordan JX 150 ND II's cost me 4500 bucks. "Sweat equity", a little, 3rd semester Physics, Partial Differential Eqs, JAES empiricism, soldering and power tool familiarity, and watching Michael and His take on the state of Industry. Or pay others to build for you and the cost is a bit ridiculous. But, "Hate"? No place in the hobby. Its about the joy from the Notes.

      I'm sure it's a perfectly audibly transparent amp, as are many other amps for a fraction of the price. They definitely look cool. I love how after an 8 hour upgrade their flagship amps are so much better that it is instantly recognizable. Of course after 8 hours and the anticipation bias effects it sounds so much better. I'd like to see all these different levels of performance put to the test in level matched, time synchronized blind comparisons. We all know what will happen to these big break throughs under proper comparison conditions. They disappear like magic.

    Working with a copper is not worth mentioning for such price level product, obviously nothing elese serious they can bring up as a price explanation. The same is valid for electronic components, why not building ones and build a huge stock as Audio Note does and then no excuses to hear. I don't like nor take any company seriously when hearing excuses. Excuses are incompetence or lack of willingness to make things right.

    The fact that D’Agostino doesn’t have a clue about how EMI/RFI interference doesn’t impact SQ is enough to know that they don’t know much about ultra high-end audio. Pass.
