Preamp to match with Aragon 8008


Category: Preamps

I recently bought an Aragon 8008 amplifier and a pair of Energy Veritas speakers. I was wondering if anyone could offer some feedback as to which preamp and Cd player I should match with these components? Should I be looking for an Aragon or Acurus preamp? Right now I have an Adcom GTP-400 preamp and would like to upgrade and an early Philips CD player. Should I be looking for a tube or solid state preamp?
Thanks

I have had the Aragon 8008BB for many years mated with Aragon 28K preamp (think there is one used at the moment in classifieds) It has been a great combination. The only problem was that the 28K is 19inches wide where most equipment is 17inches so I had to make a custom shelf. Talking to the Aragon people they feel that thier Aurum preamp was the best preamp they ever made, so it should also mate well.
