Aragon 4004 mk2 vs Adcom 555 mk2

Reason i asked was because i own the aragon which retailed for 1895 and i know the adcom retailed for 900. Yet in the used market there seems to be only about 100-200 dollars difference in price. I was just wondering if the popular adcom was just as good as my aragon. Also if its not in the same league why has the aragon fallen so far in the used market? And why does the adcom seem to hold around 500 used? Thanks

Kool39,
Most likely it is the marketing...
Adcom was most peoples first exposure to separates.
Aragon on the other hand you needed to look a little deeper to find. IMO
Regardless, in the used market the 555 is still able to be used to bridge to mono and I believe is rated at higher wattage than the Aragon... like that matters.

Thats basically what i thought was happening here.Its like the mass market effect. Thanks Joe and all for the responses. Not to change the subject but i would like to publicly thank Bigtee for the Audible Illusions L1 owners manual he sent me. Just shows what kind of community audiogon really is. Its really amazing how people will go out of their way to help a fellow audiogoner. Thanks again Bigtee. I am very impressed with the way my aragon sounds mated with the L1. What a great synergy i have found in the two components. Thanks again all. And happy listening.

There is much more trade in Adcom than Aragon,so it has
brand id in its favor like Bose.Try Aragon vs Adcom 5500
or 5802 fairer price level comparision.

Like Bose? Have you gone absolutely mad?
