Aragon 28K - what changed with the Mk II

I'm pretty sure my daughter's preamp is pre Klipsch. I bought it from a former Aragon employee after they went to Klipsch who "happened" to have a few around after he left. I'm willing to bet that it's a Mondial product too, 'cause I would have remembered otherwise. It's built like a military piece, is black and matches my other equipment. That guy made me a deal I couldn't refuse for a new Aragon Preamp. My daughter loves it.

I appreciate the information, but it looks like the 28K Mk II is going back. I got it today, pulled it out of the box and .... no remote. I've gotta quit buying stuff on ebay. Now it's going to be a fight over who pays the return shipping.

Back to shopping.

Just happened to stumble on this thread. I have an original 28k, and I can tell you that it is a very nice piece. I found it on Audiogon about 2 years ago. I think I paid around $450 for it, but it is clean and perfect. It sounds very nice and has motorized noble pots for both volume and balance. I bought it because it matches up very nicely with my 8008BB. My only complaint is that it does not have any balanced inputs or outputs, but I can live with that as my amp and pre-amp are located close together. I don't know much about the MK II. I feel your pain about your purchase, sorry that that happened to you.
