Help: Aragon 2004 MK II - Powers up but no sound
When you turn the front switch "on", does the green LED light up, and a few seconds later, do you hear a relay click?Are you SURE the preamp is working?The older Aragon stuff was pretty reliable. I'm not saying it "can't" be broken, but it's not l... 
Power cord for Aragon 8008 mk.2
I cannot understand how "upgrading" the last three feet of 120 volt A/C could possibly make an audible difference, unless you aren't using the supplied power cord--and what you have is undersized.I CAN see that with a high-current draw amp, having... 
Aragon 2002
The 2002 is the 2-channel version of the more popular (I think) multichannel 2005/2007 family.The 2000 family has had some really good reviews, and they are fine-looking amps, too. It would be a good upgrade.My personal preference is the older 200... 
What 5ch or 3/2 to match Aragon 8008bb?
I have a pair of 8008BBs and a pair of 4004s that power my 7.0 HT. (No subwoofer...yet)This required running four 10-gauge power wires from four new circuit breakers into four new duplex outlets (the $3.00 kind, not the $50.00 kind.) Since I have ... 
proceed vs. aragon vs. parasound preamps

Difference betweeen Aragon 4004 Mark I and Mark II
Another difference is the use of a bias system that adjusts itself to changes in line voltage in the Mk II. This is the first I've heard of flaming resistors! 
Pre/Pro comparison on these please.
Bryston has no video switching. Would make no difference in my system, I go direct from DVD to projector anyway.I don't think any of them have Dolby IIx, but I also don't know how much difference IIx makes. 
Aragon 4004II vs 8008st
They look a lot alike on the outside, they look a fair amount alike on the inside. BUT, the 4004 series uses 4 matched sets of 4 metal can power transistors, (16 altogether) while the 8008 series uses non-matched plastic case Hitachi power transis...
