Aragon 28K Solid State Preamplifier

This remote controlled preamp from Aragon is a serious piece of gear.  It's in good shape and sounds very good.

Here are a couple reviews from on-line (www.audioreview.com):

Summary:
"After auditioning several preamps in the $1000-$2000 range, I went with the Aragon unit for its sheer power and drive and soundstaging. Its active stage was much better than the Adcom 750s active (The Adcom in passive mode was nice) and overall smoothness was better than the Forte. The Audio Research is a nice unit but the bass had less definition in my opinion.  The Aragon works flawlessly and is very quite. The build is solid, the output RCAs are nice for a product of this amount. The ability to adjust the balance is a feature I didn't think too much about unit I realized how often many recordings are tilted off balance. I really like it a lot.
The sound to my ears is very transparent for a $1500 unit, though I have heard better resolution in a passive design but with less drive, bass and soundstaging.
Overall a very good active stage without spending your savings on it."

Strengths:
Quiet, dependable, sweet yet transparent. 2 pre-outs, build and price

Weaknesses:
No phono, no center detent for balance. No balanced inputs or outputs.

Similar Products Used:
Forte 44, Audio Research LS9, Adcom GFP750, Bryston B20

Here's a snip from another one:

Strengths:
"Clean and neutral sound. Deep bass with little or no coloration. Highs were crisp with very little grain. Overall very pleased with the sound of the unit. If you are considering an Adcom or B&K I suggest you audition the Aragon 28k you will be impressed."

New this exceptional preamp for $1,500.  Our unit's Sale Price: $595.
