I have finally decided to go seperates and have spend about 10 hours doing research to determine what pre amp will complement my adcom 555 mk1 amplifier to my PSB Century 600i speakers. ( Sony CA70ES CD and Nakamichi 680zx Tape)
After searching and reading and reviewing many websites I still can not figure our what preamp would fit my $200-$250 budget. Everyone says adcom preamps are mediocre, there there are brands like carver c1-c2-c3, nad 1600 or nad 1700 , b&w, in my price range but still dont know which is better.
I had used a $350 yamaha v701 receiver for the past 5 years (good but flat sound with DH Labs Silver sonic interconnects) but want to get the best use of the adcom 555
please help need some advice
I live in pittsburgh,pa and there are no dealers stereo shops that have used equipment, thus I can not audition anything
