HI-FI SHOW: Aragon Tungsten High-End Preamp Southern Hemisphere Debut
Indy Audio Labs, owner of the Aragon brand, will premiere its highly anticipated 2-channel preamplifier, the Tungsten, for the first time in the Southern Hemisphere at the 2023 StereoNET Hi-Fi & AV Show.
New to the luxury-audio Aragon Elements Collection, the Tungsten preamp completes a two-channel audiophile-level listening experience when combined with the Iridium monoblock or Titanium dual-monoblock Class A/B amplifiers.
The Tungsten preamplifier is a new addition to the luxury audio Aragon Elements Collection, an extreme-performance 2-channel listening ecosystem for discerning customers. The Tungsten is packed with a generous array of both analog and digital inputs, supports both analog bypass and an internal DSP engine, boasts powerful and pristine DACs, and has tri-amp capability.
The Tungsten preamplifier is housed in a beautiful industrial design that perfectly matches its companion Aragon amplifiers - a combination that expresses beauty in its visual presentation and aural reproduction. Representing the ultimate in performance audio design, all Aragon models include features in their core architecture that take these precision instruments to new heights of performance and authenticity.
Ted Moore, CTO of Indy Audio Labs, Aragon’s parent company, told StereoNET:
The Tungsten 2-channel preamplifier is the lynchpin of our Aragon ultra-performance offering. With its advent, we have the vital third piece of The Elements Collection, and our customers now have a complete Aragon audio solution that will give them a uniquely emotional listening experience. Our goal was to create a special and unabridged group of audio products that will endure and be worthy of collecting, all the while producing some of the most visceral and transformative listening experiences found in the high-performance 2-channel world. The Tungsten 2-channel preamplifier is the next piece of this amazing heritage.
Australian distributor Jay Vee Technologies, is demonstrating the Tungsten and Iridium in room M4. Jay Vee Technologies will also be exhibiting Aragon’s sister brand, Acurus, which includes the 2RU MUSE 16-channel processor and M8 8-channel amplifier, at booth C1.

applause awards
Each time StereoNET reviews a product, it is considered for an Applause Award. Winning one marks it out as a design of great quality and distinction – a special product in its class, on the grounds of either performance, value for money, or usually both.
Applause Awards are personally issued by StereoNET’s global Editor-in-Chief, David Price – who has over three decades of experience reviewing hi-fi products at the highest level – after consulting with our senior editorial team. They are not automatically given with all reviews, nor can manufacturers purchase them.
The StereoNET editorial team includes some of the world’s most experienced and respected hi-fi journalists with a vast wealth of knowledge. Some have edited popular English language hi-fi magazines, and others have been senior contributors to famous audio journals stretching back to the late 1970s. And we also employ professional IT and home theatre specialists who work at the cutting edge of today’s technology.
We believe that no other online hi-fi and home cinema resource offers such expert knowledge, so when StereoNET gives an Applause Award, it is a trustworthy hallmark of quality. Receiving such an award is the prerequisite to becoming eligible for our annual Product of the Year awards, awarded only to the finest designs in their respective categories. Buyers of hi-fi, home cinema, and headphones can be sure that a StereoNET Applause Award winner is worthy of your most serious attention.
