Anything SS sounds better than D'Agostino ?

D'Agostino amps are some of the best equipment out there.  Regardless of whether they are solid state or tube.  

To say that tube amps are best is not correct.  To say that solid state amps are best is not correct either.  

A great tube amp is just that, same for a great solid state amp.

Basically a great amp for your speakers regardless of solid state or tube is the issue.  

Just like the classic judgement in Paris in the 70s for wine.  hide the equipment and play recordings.  See if people  really can tell if it is tube or solid state.  and also judge if one is better than the other.  

if it sounds great.  that's it.

enjoy

I’ll never buy anything from D'agostino. Below is a copy and paste from his facebook site, 06/04/2021. I don’t care about his politics, I do care about the way he would potentially treat a significant subset of his customers that might have a different opinion. Prime example of narcissistic personality disorder.

"I am closing my face book account

Patriots unite close your account

No Trump no face book

Goodbye to all"

Never signed up for Facebook. Waste of time. I dont know what Trump has to do with Facebook. Some on it like him and some hate him. I wouldn’t let those statements by D’Agostino influence me on whether or not to buy his gear. If I LISTENED TO IT and liked it and thought it represented good value versus other options, I’d buy it.

i would bet most boutique audio equipment designers/manufacturers are either independent or liberal to some degree. Disqualifying them for that is a mistake.

I am sure that is real bothersome to him.

Yet you will support companies that support a government that oppresses, murders and tortures an entire subset of their culture and population.
