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.

I had run ARC tube preamps, SP-10 & LS5 for 10+ years through a number of solid state amps, and never had a problem with shutting the amps down. A tube preamp can bring on warmth and 3 dimensionality to a system that can often be a great match with solid state amps.
