My Birthday present from my Wife and Kids.
« on: February 27, 2011, 08:07:40 PM »
My Wife and Kids got me an Aragon 2004 power amp for my Birthday!!   8)
Great Family that I have, I am truly blessed.
  Anyhow so far it is a superb amp!!  Now I will probably have to sell one of my other amps, as I am out of room!!!  A good problem to have...  But, Now I need to get the matching pre-amp!!!  Wonder who got it...
  Here is a pic.

Yeah about the preamp...

The Aragon matched with those Infinity's, Melos pre and a CD80.  Audio bliss.  I hope its everything you expected.

Nice amp. I've had an eye out for an Aragon amp for awhile. I've read about how nice they sound, but it's not just about the sound... They look freakin' awesome!
I am confident that an SL-1200 is capable of outperforming turntables of much higher expense with minor modification.

Very nice Mike!  Congrats!

Too bad the previous owner hit it with an axe.  What's with the V notch? :P :-*

Mike,
I had a buddy in Erie, PA that had an Aragon power amp. Not sure what model but it was VERY nice. Congrats!

BTW .. Can we rent out your wife to train the rest of our wives on how to treat husbands afflicted with audiophilia nervouso?  ;D
