Thoughts on VAC preamplifiers to drive D’Agostino power amplifiers? Thoughts?

Thanks for that, ebm!

VAC is superb stuff!
only able to demo at a shop near me, amazing quality and build!
  If it’s in your wheelhouse, get a piece.
or check out the new SMC AUDIO preamp and amps.
   Great stuff!
 Unsure of reliability, but I would take VAC over Mac (maybe) those 2K monos are my pipedream amps.     Or some max upgraded platinum+platinum SMC monoblocs!!! With matching preamp!

 Or, the full Conrad Johnson top of the line components, with .....


  now, you have me shopping................

cheers

@audiobrian I've been using D'Agostino Classic Stereo amp with a tube preamp for a few years and the result is excellent, but my preamp is not a VAC. I recommend sending an email to VAC asking if D'Agostino is compatible with your specific model preamp. I think impedance mismatch is the only thing you have to be concern with.

The VAC preamps employ a transformer output that has a low impedance and can drive any well designed power amp (tube or SS).  Used my VAC pre into an Ayre VX5/20 for many years and it never had any issues while it added a little of the VAC personality to the beautiful sound.   

you would expect any top shelf preamp like a vac or cj to be able to drive any good top shelf amp

that is one of the main functions of a preamp

to be sure, call kevin at vac or dan d and ask... they will for sure know of the top of their heads
