Anything SS sounds better than D'Agostino ?

I never heard his amps, but some writers say just that - nothing transistor sounds better.
What do you think ?
I listened on youtube a few systems with D'Agostino amps and preamps and liked a lot what I heard.

I will say hearing Luxman and D’Agostino side by side I was really happy to afford the Luxman. :) May I ask which Luxman and D’Agostino model which you heard side-by-side? Personally I own the Luxman L-590AXII and it sounds splendid in my system. I didn’t have the luxury to compare the Luxman to more expensive offerings such as D’Agostino though. The D’Agostino Progression integrated looks promising but it costs twice the price of the Luxman integrated with some spare change..

Price aside, I wouldn’t consider the gear based on the looks. It looks ugly to me. I have no idea how it sounds like though.
