Preamp Suggestions


I am new to higher or mid end equipment. I love my music and would like to get more out of it. I am also a student and of limited funds. If any one has experience with this equip and can help me please share your knowledge. I listen to rock, folk, jazz and am more and more listening to classical. I feel my Dyn audience 50's, NAD c370 sound great with my homemade speaker stands but are lacking an emotional quality. I have a Dual 1219 turntable w/ a Shure V15 II and NAD PP-II phono stage. Main Question is I am looking at purchasing an ADCOM GFP-565 Pre-Amplifier for $300. Does anyone have experience with this piece? or have recommendations. It seems to have good reviews and a good phono stage. Will be adding a DAC and Thorens TD 150 MKII later. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Oh many digital files through computer hence DAC to be added. Is this Pre-amp recomendable and will it help give the music more emotion with out to much taken from the signal path. thsnks

For $300 I would simply buy a superior dedicated phono preamp...For the record...I used to own the Adcom 565...although i didnt utilize the phono stage at the time...the preamp was a good performer...a touch on the clinical side....but hey....nothings perfect....
the NAD is a good amp...for the money...the project tube phono preamp would treat you just fine...and is within reach with your budget...however...their standard dual mono phono preamp is darn good for the money...and roughly half as the tube model...
