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.
How, on earth, you can judge the sound on youtube? D'Agostino amps are very good (according to reviews), but extremely expensive. Better question (for most of us) would be "What sounds best for the $"
If you have heard D’Ag gear, it is good, but it is also one of the products that is designed for the a’phile who uses his eyes possibly more than his ears alone. There are a number of competing ss products that are, depending on your system make-up, going to be as good or even better. The synergy between components has to be considered. IMHO.
This thread is not about cost and best value. Besides, there are other extremely expensive brands. Other things being the same, one can get some ideas by listening to youtube. Your DAC, headphones and hearing must be good.
