I don't think Adcom preamps sound very good. I had a GTP-400 and it was meh.

Looking for a well matched Preamp. Pls advise!
Currently using my Marantz as my preamp. No longer needing for surround etc.
my current equipment is :
Adcom GFA555ms
KEF LS50 50th anniversary.
MHTD Orchid tube dac(used for streaming Roon).
Oppo BDP105. (Occasionally for CD transport)
SVS PB12-NSD Sub
Victrola Carbon with Ortofon blue
So I’m looking to replace the Marantz with a proper Preamp. Need to drive the sub as well as a Phono amp(in case I move on from the Victrola)
Looking for suggestions! TIA

How is your sub connected now? Both the Schiit products have an XLR and two RCA outputs. My preamp is another brand, but I have both of my subs connected to XLR outputs and the two monoblocs to the RCA outputs. Works fine, so it should not be an issue IF your sub is self-powered. Another option would be to look at the preamps from Audio by Van Alstine, although they are strictly single ended (RCA). Their three models are highly rated and run from about $1000 to $2200, although adding a phono circuit would be another $379. |
