levinson 26 to replace adcom 565


want to replace my preamp and want a phono preamp, the newer Levinson have but more than I want to spend. I use a GFA 555 Adcom and Heresy IV speaker. Any recommendations or advice would be greatly appreciated

I am leaning towards Bryston BP17P and Levinson 26 preamp both have phono and ample rca outputs for my Nakamichi CR7A and my CD Player both are 3200 but has been refurbished by a Levinson trained tech. As far as amp I want a 532-H Levinson which might have to wait a couple months

As far as tube preamps go I know nothing about them I repeat nothing. If a tube goes bad then what I know about solid state. I listen to house and trance music from the 90's and hung around dj's and dabbled some too. so I am looking for another TT just like mine and already have a mixing board so I can have some fun

Nothing wrong with going big on the upgrades.  Me personnally, I'd go with the Levinson over the Bryston, especially if you are looking at the 532H amp.  Keep in mind that you may not hear much or any improvement until you upgrade the Adcom amp.  I would expect that the Ortofon Blue cartridge will show it's limitations very quickly after upgrading both the Preamp and Amp.

Good luck and let the music play!
