| D’Agostino Progression integrated vs Gryphon Diablo 300 whipsaw; that's a high percentage bet and I agree, but it is influenced by your personal preferences and biases regarding the sound you are looking for. | |
| D’Agostino Progression integrated vs Gryphon Diablo 300 have not heard the Gryphon, but I heard the Momentum and then was able to find one used. It ended my search for the sound I was looking for. "mike drop". | |
| Anything SS sounds better than D'Agostino ? I have been running my D'Agostino Momentum with my Sonus Faber Amati Anniversaires and outboard EMM DAC for two years now and am never less than thrilled with the sound. The D'Ag replaced an outstanding Accuphase integrated which I loved before I ... | |
| cost no object integrated amps You probably would be satisfied with any of your candidates, but my auditioning stopped at the D'agnostino Momentum. I was immediately impressed with the fine grain resolution and the pure natural sound, even at low loudness levels. The soundstage... | |
| D'agostino amplifiers: where's the beef? after having owned many amps, i now run the Dagnostino Momentums and my "sound dreams" are fulfilled. My wife says, finally a piece of equipment that looks as good as it sounds. No regrets here on the cost. I have also found the company to be very... | |

| shifting soundstage> the speakers are in phase. | |
| shifting soundstage> Movement is slight and subtle, but the soundstage is normally very focused and dimensional making the shifts noticeable to me.Regarding my hearing, a valid question since I am 80 years old. But, if I can hear those subtle movements, how bad can it... | |
| shifting soundstage> thanks for the test CD suggestion. the recording is certainly a leading suspect which is why I am wondering if many others experience the same malady with high quality recordings. If it is related to the recordings, I would expect that many are ex... | |
| shifting soundstage> thanks for your thoughtful responses. 1. no tubes in the signal-path; all SS high-end equipment.2. Room acoustics were a suspect, but as you alluded, nothing in the room changes when the soundstage stability changes. It seems to occur more with in... | |

| Best DAC to go with Aurender N100H? I also run my Aurender (ACS10) thru an EEM DAC2 and it delivers all I could ask in terms of sound; it is the combination I was looking for. The Aurender Conductor software provides flexibility and the built-in TEAC drive for ripping is convenien... | |
| What is the best solid state amplifier you have ever heard? 1. I also highly recommend Robert Harley's "Complete Guide to High End Audio". A consummate guide.2. I have not heard many of the fine SS amps alluded to, but I can isolate the impact of the new amp in the system as I replaced my excellent Accup... |
