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?

Hi all ! Hate to say this..but the Aragon 4004 mk2 was the worst sounding amp I have ever owned . As far as sound quality goes my little 40 wpc Rotel sounded much smoother .

Hi all ! Roscoeiii...... it was paired with a melos sha-1 pre , carver 390t tube cd player and KEF speakers , I think they were the 102.4's or 103.2's ....just dont remember , they were about $2200 retail in the '90 s . Thought the melos would help tame down the grainy mids but all it did was make the sound darker overall . Putting a smaller rotel amp in the system was much better .I could never make that amp sound like i wanted it too . Some guys have great luck with this amp tho .
