How does Aragon 24k/2004 stack up to modern equip?

I just picked up an Aragon 24k preamp/Aragon 2004 amp for a good price. I put them in my system where my Cambridge Audio Azur 840a resided and I must say I am VERY impressed. These are my first separates that I've owned, the speakers are JM Lab Cobalt 807's, speaker cables are Monster M1 mkII, and mains power cable is Straightwire Blue Thunder. Interconnects are MIT MI-330 series II. Like I said I love the sound, just wondering how these components stack up, and if anyone has cabling suggestions?

I first purchased a Aragon 8008 bb Then upgraded to a Livingson 332. Some times I think that was NOT money well spent! But I was less impressed with the matching 24K pre and DID upgrade to a VTL pre. Man was I happy for about nine months..... then that bug bit.... you know that bug.....yea that one right there..... its on your shoulder....

I think you answered your own question. As long as you are happy, that is what counts.

Best,

I feel the need to clarify something here. It is true Dan D'Agostino was involved in designing Aragon, but Aragon should not be confused with high end products such as Krell and Levinson from the same time period. Aragon is an inferior product and has more in common with NAD than Krell.
