Fellow Audiogoner's I had my Aragon 4004 Mk II amp tested by a tech and it only produces 203 watts @8 ohms and 380 watts @4 ohms. I remember this amp able to produce more rated power specially when it is driving difficult loads. Any suggestions or comments are welcome.
I'm the second owner of this amp. My tech ran 1k hz sine wave. 120v input voltage. The amp I guess is about 18 yrs old. What components inside could degrade in time?
thanks for your responses. I'm still trying to know if a simple repair will restore this amp. I know there are other Aragon vintage amp out there but does electronics degrade and changes the quality/sound of the amp?
Thanks, everyone, especially Al. I had suspected about the power Caps to my Aragon amp. They are the direct voltage supply to both channel boards. I will try to locate the caps. You can treasure a product and still keep it going unless something major breaks. I will certainly try to keep my Aragon in good working order.
If I have to replace these 4 power supply caps, Can somebody know an electronic supplier who carries 19,000uf, 80v screw type Electrolytic caps. These are hard to search even in the net. Your help will be appreciated. I located some electronic parts supplier but a minimum is required to order ie 100.
Thank You everybody who contributed their knowledge regarding possible solutions to my Aragon 4004 Mk II amp. I will follow up this tag when I get the parts replaced and amp tested. Thank You again, Art
