The Adcom GFP-565 was (is) an excellent preamp -- infact, one of the best that Adcom ever made. The 565 got a number of excellent to rave reviews at the time it appeared. Among its best features was a fine phono preamp section. Other Adcom owners of the late 1980's and early 1990's can perhaps share their experiences with the 565, but I was extremely pleased with the one I owned.
During the early 1990's, I had a part-time audio sales job, and Adcom was one of the lines I sold. The 565 preamp earned consistently positive comments from its owners. The 565 still stacks up well against many moderately priced contemporary preamps, which is why it has maintained its resale value.
