Get a used Byston BP25 and use it in the balanced mode. That's what I did for my 8008BB and it has been a happy marrage for the past two years or so.
Aragon Amp Owners: Help With Pre-Amp Synergy
Would appreciate any input from Aragon amp owners or those of you who have owned them in the past. I'm interested in trying a tube pre amp to mate with it. I recently bought some new speakers which are easier to drive than my previous. 89 sensitivity as compared to 86 respectively. Now my pre amp seems to have too much gain, Volume is approaching too loud at around 10-11 o'clock. My Aragon is a 8008BB and I have a Musical Fidelity A3cr pre amp. Can any one suggest some pre amps that match well with Aragon? Also I like the fact that both my power and pre amp are dual mono. Would I be losing something if I bought a pre that was not dual mono? Another possibility would be to match a Musical Fidelity power amp with my pre amp but I would hate to give up the Aragon. What do you folks think? Thanks in advance.
