I have been running a pair of 2a3 ppp Hammond amps rebuilt for home stereo,with a digital source,Aragon 24k sp preamp, Silnote and Goertz interconnects, kimber cable 8tc speaker cable,Oasis Audio 816a speakers and a pair of Polk audio psw202 subs set to blend instead of boom. BUT-I just swapped a nice turntable for a Nakamichi 610 preamp-which is in the system right now and pretty much blowing the Aragon out of the water.-I am in Bear lake Michigan -49614. Know what you mean about the vintage gear-world class and now in our old age.....affordable!
