I never heard his amps, but some writers say just that - nothing transistor sounds better. What do you think ? I listened on youtube a few systems with D'Agostino amps and preamps and liked a lot what I heard.
I have actually heard D'Agostino gear in person a couple years ago, it is quite good. It also has that cool Captain Nemo look that I really like. That said, I own ARC Ref gear. It did not make me want to change. But I doubt I would be happy with any solidstate gear long term.
You can learn nothing by listening to gear on Youtube. It is hard enough making judgments while listening to gear at a dealer. The only way to truly compare is at home in your system.
Let's not argue about youtube listening. "Better" might be both subjective and objective, it is complicated. We are not talking about tube amps. I bet, something like top of the line VAC or Wavac would sound..well, incredible.
