  Audio Research and Aragon
Does anyone have any experience matching an aragon 4004 mk II with an audio research preamp. Would an LS3 be a good match? Would the LS3 have enough gain? I have been told that the LS3 is a fairly warm preamp for solid state. Also that it is quite dynamic and images well with no loss of the low end. Looking for thoughts and advice.
Thanks all.

4004II+ls-3 was my setup once.
First, IMO, ls-3 is not warm but very analytical, maybe a little bit cold pairing with 4004.
Second, changing from L-1 to LS-3 will not change the sound evidently.
Third, if you own either L-1 or LS-3 or smae level pre, upgrading 4004 or perhaps the speakers (?) might be the better move in terms of quality or flavor.
