Thoughts on Aragon Soundstage Processor

The Soundstage is a great sounding piece and when compared to the price of it's competition it's a no brainer. The Soundstage is a wonderful 2 channel pre-amp and does movies quite well. In May you can trade in the Soundstage for the new Stage one plus $1500 or upgrade it for $750. Bear in mind the Stage one does not have balanced outputs and most don't think the Stage one will sound as good as the Soundstage.

Tmoore - I second Badbenzz's remarks. I have used the Soundstage for over a year, and it has performed flawlessly.
I (newbie) initially needed some assistance w/ the setup, and Aragon's designer/technician, Adam Gershon, couldn't have been any more helpful or personable. I run it balanced to a Sim Audio W5 amp, and am quite satisfied w/ 2 ch stereo direct mode, and when it's time for the movies, HT modes are killer. Programmable remote also is very user- friendly. A solid performer, and at today's prices ... duh.
Best regards...

The Soundstage was the most underated Pre/pro out there.Build quality,true analog preamp acceptebality of DVDA make it a great buy.Go for it.

To all, is the SoundStage an Acurus ACT-3 base? Same company, any issues that followed the ACT-3's?
