Aragon 28k mk2 or Adcom GFP 750 preamp?


I'm looking to match up a preamp with a new Aragon 8008 mk2. The Adcom has balanced outputs, the Aragon pre does not, although the Aragon amp does. Strange. The cd palyer will be a Cary 308-single ended, and the speakers will be the new Paradigm Studio 100v3. Any thoughts? Thanks.

FWIW I owned the Aragon Pre-amp and found it to be a good piece. At one time I had the pre-amp mated with the 8008st amplifier. I did not keep the pre-amp very long (I bought a used Krell instead) but the amp stayed for a few years.

I have never owned the Adcom, but I have heard people nearly rave about it. It is line-stage which should not matter unless you are planning on buying a turntable soon.

If I were you I would buy the Adcom. It should be a good match for the other pieces you already own.
