Advice on what preamp to select.

Thanks all!  It has been a fun project

 Thanks for the responses!  The Adcom's are mono block amps, not certain what arrangement might be best.  speakers are DQ10's with the DQ sub and crossover. They do like clean power so I am trying this configuration 
this system will not be used for AV purposes. Just music, turntable and cd's are the source  

Like the idea of the SP9 as a hybrid preamp. Reading the phono section is very good. 
Your thoughts and ideas?  I'm sure there are many preamps that would work well.
Trying to keep the cost of the preamp around $1200 or less.  The Mac MX series are affordable because a 5 year old model in the AV world is a  dinosaur and cost are reasonable.  I have been reading that people are happy with the MX just as a stereo preamp. 
Any advice would be helpful

thanks all for your input. Like the Vincent but would need a phono section .
What do you think about the Conrad Johnson PV-7?

Interested and would like to see more on your SP9.  How do we proceed?

copied this from review  on the amp

The Adcom's input impedance at 1kHz was 47k ohms, and its output impedance was uniformly low—ranging from 0.02 ohms from the bass to the upper midrange and increasing slightly to 0.03 ohms at 20kHz. The gain of the GFA-565 was 27.1dB into the unbalanced inputs. I found that the three gain settings on the balanced inputs—0dB, +4dB, and +6dB—actually gave quite different readings. The +4dB setting was actually 8dB down from the 0dB, the +6dB setting was down 14dB from the 0dB. Unweighted noise was 70dB below 1W into 8 ohms

Hello 
Can you send more information on your sp9 including pictures. I think this would be a good preamp with what I am running.

Where would it be shipped from? Who did the upgrade? Any additional info will be appreciated.  How do I contact you directly?


Cheers

Does Vincent produce a preamp with a built in phono stage?  From what I see they make all line amps.  

Well I made a decision and picked up a ARC SP 16.  Looking forward to receiving it and listening to the new system.  In my budget....

Now looking for a new turntable in the $500 dollar range, one of the last pieces to the puzzle!
Thanks all for your help

Thanks!
Now I am deciding on turntables

Rega RP6 vs VPI Scout Jr.  Used and budget around $1200
