Exertfluffer,I have to disagree about your comments about the Adcom GFP-750.It is the most transparent preamp I have heard any where near its brand new price [approx.$1500.00].
It is extremely open,detailed, and transparent.Maybe a little clinical,but really great for the price!
I took mine to a friends house who is using Revel Ultima Studios, Kimber Kable Bifocal speaker cables, Kimber Silver Streak interconnects,Sony SCD-XA777ES SACD/CD player,Music Hall MMF-9 turntable, Musical Surroundings Phenomena phono preamp, Krell KAV-250a power amp, and a Krell KAV-250p preamp.We were stunned by how good the Adcom GFP-750 sounded in his system! It was more open, transparent, detailed and focused than the Krell preamp! He also tried a friends Audio Research SP16L preamp, and the Adcom bested it by a good margin.It may not have deserved a Class A rating, but its a shockingly good preamp for the money.I became a true believer in it yesterday!It sounds better by a wide margin than the many preamps I have borrowed and tried in my system also.
