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.

First your Aviors are fantastic speakers. I assume you have them properly set up and your room treated if necessary?

I've heard my dealers Aviors with a Nagra Jazz tube pre and a Nagra Classic (ss) amp. Absolutely fantastic. Transparent cabling.

My Rockport Altairs sing with my Robert Koda K10 and Ayre MXR's. Again Transparent cabling.

Not sure what cabling you're using...but this maybe be a key ingredient with your Rockports...
