This is for Georgehifi especially but others can chime in.

I am buying Dynaudio C-1 Platinums and would like an ideal amp. Which would you choose? I prefer solid state. Separates or integrated. If you could recommend a few optimum choices that would be great. Based on my short couple years on here you strike me as very knowledgable on the subject. My dealer wants me on Pass Labs. Incidentally right now I have the Devialet 400 and I’m pretty sure you are not a fan of this type of amp. Any of your wisdom is appreciated. Thanks, Mike

@audiotroy 
I'm calling BS. The sound of a tube comes from it's transconductance curve characteristics. Tubes require high voltage because they're very high impedance devices. What you're saying sounds like a lot of sales brochure ad copy pseudo-theory.

Surprisingly a Schiit Vidar

The Vidar would be a good choice also for much less money, but the OP specified only two amp to choose from the Pass Labs and the Devialet.

Cheers George

looks like someone told the truth so the mods removed his post
Actually, it was @onhwy61  post and mine directly after that was removed. And yes, there was nothing but truth stated. Keep in mind it was just opinion anyway.

I believe (not sure and could be mistaken) the reason the posts were removed had something to do with an erroneous determination on audiogon's part (likely programmatic with non-human intervention) that the posts were spam related.

@georgehifi I am open to any suggestions. I have a dealer who sells and loves Pass Labs. Frankly it’s one brand I can’t remember anyone badmouthing at all. @mapman I have owned a Bel Canto Preamp and liked it a lot. The Ref 600 intrigues me and my dealer sells them  so maybe I can demo them also.
