Folks who ask for a reccomenadatio laways do themselves a di serive but not also listing what other components they have (in this case Speakers) but also a budget.What comes to mind first is tubes as the Aragon is a cool performer.Maybe BAT 3Ki?As little as $12000 used and they can have phono and remote.I think Rogue makes and excellent product and I am thinking of nuying a 99 Magnum.Lie the company because when you compare feature to feature specn to spec they have prices new that aren't as insulting as rest of industry.Then think about scourinf roeccomended sites for vintage equipemnt.I saw a used pre here pn 'Gon with some NOStubes in it that they wanted $575 obo.Thay new piece would be $2K if anything today.With money you save you could ADD Xlr outputs get NOS or replece Caps that have reached there end point at 15-20 years and get some Hovland or Blackgates etc and have fun re-building a and older piece.
Aragon 8008-BB...what balanced preamplifier to use
A friend bought one of this amplifier and all his system is balanced with the exception of the preamplifier. He ask me for help but I'm not sure what to reccomend. His budget is limited to not more than $1K and is willing to buy used (AudioGon for sure). So, what brands and models are you considering worth to look for?
Gracias to everyone.
