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.

I use a Krell two box Phantom preamp with my Momentum amp with incredible results. I would think the one box version(222) would excel as well. I was actually guided to my unit by a top Agostino employee when I inquired as to what Krell preamp of recent past was really special. The Phantom has looks, ergonomics and superb sound. FWIW the dealer I bought it from suggested that the ARC Ref 5 wasn't in the same class and he's an ARC dealer. FWIW.
