conrad johnson v. aragon amp

Hello,

Looking for thoughts/inputs on this. I purchased a used Aragon 4004 (200 wpc) amp and need a preamp to get going. I am looking for a good match as I've heard this amp is strong but can be "cool and lean". I am considering a used CJ pv10a (tubed) pre to warm things up. Also from the same buyer is a CJ mf2100 amp (100 wpc) that is available. My question would be-how would the CJ rate vs. the Aragon and would it be better to keep the two cj's together?

The Aragon Aurum pre does not have a phono stage. I have one along with an Aragon 8002 power amp. The Aragon 47K phono stage with or without the IPS would be required if an all Aragon system fits the bill. Just got one here with an IPS last week. Nice uprgrade from my previous phono stage. Re Steve at Aragon, he's a great source of info on Aragon stuff.
cheers,
rob
