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 know CKKeung on WBF runs an ARC Ref 40th Anniversary preamp successfully with his MC2 S1400 mono's. They're pro amps, so I'd expect them to be fairly neutral. The Ref 40 pre is very nice if you can find one.
@David12, Dartzeel make lovely amps, though they're not the best match with Magico. Vitus and Soulution in ss, Tenor in hybrid amps & CJ Gat/Art and Absolare in tubes are best match imho ;)
