Aragon 8008bb/Mk. 2
Sounds good.  The LS 17SE is indeed a great piece.  Some would say the LS 27 is a bit better but mot that much for the extra money. I agree balanced is the way to would go for ARC.  I noticed Music Direct is offering AQ Colorado interconnects for ... 
Aragon 8008bb/Mk. 2
I'm thinking about a LS 17SE pre amp with the A21.  I hear that the Kimber power cords are very good for the money  Pretty neutral.  In order to really get top performance from Shunyata you have to buy the Alpha series and up.  I have not heard po... 
Aragon 8008bb/Mk. 2
Thank you for the follow up.  I have heard good things about Clear Day and WyWires as well.  I have owned AQ in the past, but I think AZ offers allot of performance for the money.  My pre amp will probably be an Audio Research although the JC 2 Ha...

Thank you for the feedback.  I appreciate it.  I'm looking at a Parasound Halo a21 as well which I think might be a more refined musical amp?  Also, any experience with either Acoustic Zen or Audioquest?   
Any experience on these 2 cable brands
Thanks John.  I assume the Hologram ii would be similar in presentation to the Satori and Double Barrel then?  Have you used the interconnects from these brands as well?  Wow ii, Matrix Reference, Columbia, Colorado?

Thanks George for the feedback and additional detail of the 3.0.  The Aragon has a huge power supply.  Bigger than the A21 and is stable into a 2 ohm load.  The design is a bit older than the Parasound though.

My mistake.  Good point.  I have SF Venere 3.0.  I will upgrade to a larger SF Model in the next few months.Thank you.  
Is the move up to Parasound Halo A21 worth it?
I have heard very good things about the A21 as well.  Curious how it might compare to an Aragon 8008bb? 
Aragon 8008 mk2. or Parasound A21
Thank you for the follow up. I have a Cary CDP 1cd player. My cables are a mix of Purist Audio and Audioquest 
Plinius integrated or McComack seperates?
Thanks. I've heard so much about the Plinius 8200 integrated that it works well with B&W. It sounds like the new McCormack stuff was alot better. What is the rest of your system like? Also, any feelings on Plinius seperates?Andrew 
Power cord suggestion for Plinius 8200?
I have this amp and think it's a big step up from the Krell KAV300i. I use the Sidewinder Gold, it's great match.
