The difference between the Momentum's and my 1.2k's was significant otherwise I wouldn't have purchased the D'Agostino's. From my experience the 601's are competitive but not better than the 1.2k's and a great value. Jim |

Thanks SRT10-Viper, Turntable and Serge. I've had a chance to hear the Lamm 1.2s v Dags with Sashas but with a VTL 7.5 pre, not my Ref 40. I was very impressed with the Dags as well, best solid state I've ever heard. Hopefully, I'll get a chance to test them both along with Ref 250s in my system.
SRT10-Viper- Are you thinking of making a switch from Lamm to Dag?

Wondering the same thing. With Dag monos at almost double the cost of the ref 250s, I wonder if the stereo Dag is worth a comparison? They retail at the same at the ref 250s.

With only 24 hours on the REF 5SE - I am wondering if your sessions would be different if it was fully broken in?

Good point. ARC gear changes quite a bit with break in.

See what listening to my Momentum's and X2's started? It was just as bad for me since I purchased the Meridian 808v3 after hearing his in my system. |
