Inexpensive pre-amp for Adcom GFA-545 II and sources with remote

Bigbang

Hi guys,

I’m looking for a decent but inexpensive pre-amp to help drive my Adcom GFA-545 II with phono, SQB touch, CD player and FM tuner if not already included. A remote would be nice as well. Any ideas? All of this will end up going out some SDA-CRS speakers

Whats your idea of inexpensive ?

Good question. I would say more than 100 less than 300.

With a decent phono, might be hard to find in that price range. Vintage Adcom/Carver/B&k/Parasound might fall into that price range but some may not have phono's or remotes.

Here's a nice NAD.....no remote but has phono

New in the box. Nice find in South Bend!

Speaking of NAD, the 1600 would be a good fit for your needs. There are 2 or 3 on the 'Bay right now in your price range.
