Best budget preamp for Aragon 8008bb and Thiel 3.6


I am rounding out my "new to me" system. So far I have Thiel CS3.6's. For this very hard to drive speaker pair I have an Aragon 8008bb on order. Next are the preamp and source. The vintage and costs of the previous on the used market should give you some idea of where I am price wise.

I am not particularly interested in looks or bells and whistles. Sound is what counts. I once called myself a "connoiseur of the most for the least". Well, that's not quite true, but if I can get it done for less my wife is happy, and when my wife is happy I feel like a King!

I once again turn myself to those more expert than I (that means you)!

Thank you for any ideas you may have on a preamp for me,
Ron

Starsandseas,

I have an Aragon preamp 24k ips with the same amp that you have. It sounds excellent and it is only several hundred dollars. There are similar Aragon amps on Audiogon. You might consider these.
