Does GFP-710 sound better that older GFP-565


I am currently using an Adcom GFP-565, which, if not mistaken, was Adcom's top-of-the-line preamp when it came out. I recently, on an impulse purchase, obtained the current GFP-710, which is one model under the 750. Is there any reason I should think that because this preamp is much newer, that it would sound better than (or even as good) as the older high-end GFP-565?

Thanks,

If you have both Adcom preamps, why don't you just compare them for yourself? Also, for what it's worth, I had an Adcom GFP-565 many years ago (before I really invested in this hobby), and, compared to most of the decent preamps made in the last 15 years, it's pretty awful. Any Audio Research, Pass Labs or Classe preamp, for example, will eat its lunch. But listen for yourself. Cheers. -- Ron
