Dan D'Agostino Momentum amplifier- which preamp?

Anyone run Dan's amp (or amps) with linestage pre from other manufacturers?

I tried Dan's gear (integrated and separates) with my Rockport Aviors. Amazing in many ways, but lacked the palpably real presence of "vocalist in the room" that the best tubes provide. Anyone run Dan's amp(s) with a tube preamp?

Thanks, looking for that last (or at least the next last) final system.

You guys are breathing air at a higher altitude than me, but what is the problem with the D'Agostino Pre, apart from price of course?

I have heard the D'Agostino amps on a number of occasions and the best demo I have ever heard was his Pre and Monoblocks with Wilson Alexia speakers and I am not a Wilson fan. People were looking at each other, wide eyed with awed astonishment. I am sure better systems exist, but I haven't heard them and I have heard more expensive ones with Magico speakers and Dartzeel amps, for example, I really did'nt like.
