boulder and d'agostino

reached out to boulder who referred me to a dealer
called dealer told them my 2060 amp wanted a 2110 preamp to replace my arc ref 5
suggested a dagostino preamp ///??
just trying to understand that line of thinking have previously had krell gear and moved on
in fact had boulder 1000 series years ago and previous dealer (when i upgraded)suggested krell which i bought and had later had numerous service issues with -- but it was sonically great --and now I have went back to boulder/arc but want to try all solid state.  any ideas why that(dagostino) would be recommended over boulder 2110 for a 2060 match from a dealer who sells both>? not trying to start a debate but was a bit puzzled. TIA

Would hope boulder 2110 would be an endgame.  Big step from arc 5 or 6.

i am fixated on a tubey preamp.  Ss preamps like boulder and dag seem limiting.

plus these ss preamps bypass and dont impact ht sound, tube amps do and its well worth it.

is it an issue going from tubes to ss?
