It is like night and day if you ask me. MSB don’t add things to the music it just show how the recording is and I have never had a amp before there can do it like MSB. MSB forever for me very easy. Best Henrik ---

I owned and sold the D’Agostino m400 monos and the momentum hd preamp. I sold them off and moved to the s202 with a premier Dac. There was no loss of fidelity for me. In fact the s202 is my preference here. I want to move to monos soon. ---

I had a D’agastino momentum integrated (400 watts/ channel) and replaced it with two M500 monoblocks. Can’t believe the difference in detail, blackness, and soundstage. I will never go back. ---

I think a better comparison would be with the D’agostino Relentless 800 mono blocks or the Momentum M400 mxv monos. ---

Couldn’t agree more, Scott, that there are several D’Agistino amps I have heard, but the D’Agastino I had was the only dirsct comparison I could make. David Schlotterbeck [dschlotterbeck@cox.net](mailto:dschlotterbeck@cox.net) 949 275 0688
