Dagostino hd momentum, is lack of rubes a problem?


Kinda disappointing that dagostino doesnt do tubes. Is lack of tubes in their hd momentum preamp cause for concern when paired with a ss amp?

yes, rubes in title sb tubes.  Cant edit descriptions. So rubes appears.

I’m not sure if everyone could give a fair and honest answer about mix matching a tube preamp to Krell or Dan Dagostino gear. If you read some of the stereophile articles pertaining to how SS & Tube equipment tests on a bench, you will understand to not get caught up in the numbers. It’s great and all to quote stats but at the end of the day it’s how the equipment sounds to you. I have a Cary Audio SLP-05 Preamp with the Ultimate Upgrade and the Cardis wiring and it sounds fantastic with my Krell along with any of Dan’s new stuff. Tried and tested with thumbs up from everyone who came and listened to my rig. It’s an incredible match and it can be done. When it comes to sound quality, it competes with the best and so called best. At the end of the day, it’s just our opinions. Hope this helps.
