I was going to connect my old Pioneer cd player direct to my Parasound amp but have decided to go with a pre instead. Partly due to probably dusting off my turntable in the near future and also realizing that the variable output in the set up menu of the Pioneer is not what I thought it was. Looking for actual experiences with the Adcom GFP-565 preamp. The reviews I have read are good and I think it's probably is in my price range.
Yep, my name really is Bob.

    It is a nice pre with a great phono stage. No remote. I had one for about six months or so and went with. Parasound thwt had a remote. Comparable pres

    No remote may be a deal breaker, bummer. I did have my eye also on a Parasound, certainly looks like a nice pre but was hoping to save some coin to buy a new cartridge.

    Try and find an Anthem pre2L
    If you get lucky maybe you can find a basic model for around $500. and do some upgrades along the way.
    You will not find a better deal.
