The Aragon’s were and are really good amps but they’re not the most neutral or refined amps.
^^^ this captures my recollection of the aragon 4004/8008 amps, brute force minimal subtlety sophistication of sound character
Aragon 4004 mk2 (D’Agostino) vs Nakamichi PA-5 (Nelson Pass)
I’ve been running an Aragon 4004 mk2 & just ran across a Nakamichi PA-5
Anyone have experience with / opinions of both?
I’m going to be comparing...
Aragon 4004 mk2 (Dan D’Agostino design)
Nakamichi PA-5 (Nelson Pass design)
I’ve heard the Aragon is better & the PA-5 is more like an Adcom or Acurus. It’s similar to the Threshold design though.
I’m running a VTL 5.5 preamp.
At some point I may upgrade to VTL or Manley tube amps.
Suggestions on other amps to consider for the next level?
Thanks,
