Quad 99 better than Adcom GFP-750? Enlighten me


Hello all,

Christmas is coming, and I'll buy my pre-amplifier in the next few days. The time to make a decision has come, and my choices have been narrowed to the Quad 99 and the Adcom GFP-750. The latter is $200 more expensive, but I'm willing to pay it with no hassle, should it be a better choice. I'm looking for good music, I'm still a begginner at high-end audio, so I can't realize many differences in detail, transparency, etc. I just want something that won't be taking me to my EQs all the time looking for improvements. I heard good things about the Quad 99 in this forum, but I ask you to take an objective point of view, if that's possible, and post an opinion.

The pre-amp will compliment a system comprised of:

Mccormack DNA 0.5
Dynaudio Audience LR120+
Rel Strata II subwoofer
Adcom GFP-750
Van Den Hul cabling

Thanks in advance.

Why do you prefer the Quad to the Adcom? Do you agree the Quad sounds less HI FI? In other words does the Quad remind you more of music?

thanks,

Phil
