Looking for Tuner/Preamp combo

Hi,

For a second system that will send sound throughout the house.

My criteria are: 1. Cheap (under $500 new or used), and 2. full-function remote.

I've considered the Adcom GTP-502 or GTP-506 (latter is not cheap enough unless I get lucky) and the B&K PT3. Does anyone have experience with these?

Are there other units available that I can consider?

I do see a lot of older AV pre-amps for sale cheap (local dealer has a Nakamichi and a Rotel RTC-970 on sale for $200 and $300 respectively), because that stuff gets outdated so fast. Will all those extra features get in the way of a music-only system?

Thanks!

Hi Eric,

I have owned an NAD 1600 preamp/tuner combo. I enjoyed it very much. Not much for sound stage compared to a good stand alone preamp, but very good tone. Comes with a remote. Matches NAD monitor series amplifiers and receivers for cosmetics.

Regards,
Paul
