The ARC is in a whole different -- higher -- league than the Adcom GFP 565, which I owned many years ago. Compared to the ARC -- any ARC preamp, really -- the Adcom lacks dynamics and sounds basically broken.

I have seen a couple different versions of this preamp...one with Balanced outputs and detachable pc...the other with RCAs and standard pc cord...is this correct? I assume they had different retail pricing when produced...at any rate...would this be a significant improvement over an Adcom gfp 565 or am I splitting hairs? I am using an late 80s Belles amp as power...thanks...
