Other Notes: "The Aragon 18K preamp is dedicated to the preservation of the original signal that enters the inputs. The dual chassis design allows for a large power supply, while protecting the source signal from its influence. The 18k has over 20,000 microfarads of storage capacitance and a dual mono DC power supply to provide the utmost in channel separation.

The exceptionally large circuit board allows for the groundplane to cover a large surface area, thereby protecting the source signal from rf interference. The size of the circuit board also allows for optimized component placement. This means that the components on the board can be seperated from one another so that they can not interact un such a way that would pollute the original signal. To further preserve the signal, our exclusive design has only one switch contact from input to output. Preamplifiers which provide a so called 'bypass' mode, have at least two switch contacts in the signal path even while in 'bypass'.

The circuitry is fully discrete Class A with matched transistors from input to output. There are no output capacitors, thereby providing direct coupled operation. This allows for output below 20 hertz without phase shift."
