Best Sir,

Bob
I am sticking with my ARC Ref 10. I love the synergy they make together. I have said before the "best of both worlds"! The Ref 10 and Progression amp is popular as the demo in Los Angeles was the same IIRC? I will always choose a tube preamp over solid state. No slight against D'Agostino preamps as I love the Momentum combo the dealer has in the store. The Ref 10 is my 7th Audio Research preamp/linestage. Hope that finally answers your question Bob?
