Dan D'Agostino is back with a new line

Only 42K in a down economy. Maybe somebody willing to shell out that much for an amp still has the cash.

OTOH it is a good looking amp. I wonder if it is the statement product or the entry level product?

The top of the heat sinks look identical to my Boulder 1060.

Yeah, "one of the world's...." would have been more appropriate and accurate - not sure he would sell one more amp by claiming the crown. Yet, a very important designer he certainly is, and good to know he is staying in the business with a new venture. I would hope anyone willing to buy a $42,000 amp is well beyond the vagaries of the up and down economy.

That is UGLY. It's like they took the MX-R and handed it to a blind man for aesthetic "upgrading". Orange/copper? Really? And what a blowhard; it's almost as if he's trying to convince himself that he is still relevant.

Have to agree with you Bar81. The high end is getting like art - absurdly expensive and worthless if no one wants to buy it.
