D'Agostino Interview

Home theatre geeks just did an interview with Dan about his new company and amp. They've already done interviews with Nelson Pass, Bob Carver, Kevin Voecks, and Mike Fremer. The interviewer on all of these is Scott Wilkinson, who used to write for Stereophile, so they are audiophile-oriented conversations. You can also subscribe to the podcasts, but those are audio only.

One highlight of the D'Agostino interview: Dan was talking to a friend with military connections about cooling solutions, and the method used in the new D'Agostino amp is definitely one way to do it ;)

Other breaking news: Dan says (probably for the first time in public) that Krell amps make many rooms "unmercifully" hot :)

When I spoke with him 2 years ago he said he was using Nordost cables at home. I did not ask what model.

3 years ago at CES he was using Valhalla speaker cables [kind of a budget cable] as far as hot running krells my evo 400 monos are fairly cool running when chainging a CD i feel more heat coming off my plasma than the amps. I wonder what speakers and cables he will be using at the ces next month?

When you are involved in the industry, many a times you are forced to use the "soap of the day" menu to appease those who play.

Dan seems like a really cool guy and tells it like it is.

I'll never forget his first KSA series at a local dealer running Apogee Scintillas, I was hit so hard with the hobby from that point on.

pure copper heat sinks on his new amp seemed to me nothing new to me. Anybody in higher end game pcs know this trick since all high priced upmarket cpu fans made with pure copper heat sinks.(I have one and has even led mini red lamps:))
I remember once we have discussed in DIY audio Pass forum, upgrading someones pass amp with active water cooling system sourced from pc market.
