Would this be an improvement over the Carver C-1 that I currently use, or more of a lateral move? Currently, I feel like my pre amp/amp are the limiting factors in my set up. I'd like to replace the pre first, then the amp somewhere down the road. From what I've read it sounds like the Adcom's got better internals, but it lacks a phono stage. It also has a tuner, which I'm not interested in; I'm thinking I'd like to have simpler components rather then remotes/tuners/ Sonic Holography/tone conrols, etc. The Carver does have a phono stage, but it's noisy.
I have the opportunity to get one at a good price, which is messing with my head. Previously I was planning on saving 'til the spring sometime and getting a Bottlehead kit. The combo of a tube pre amp with a SS amp to go with my 2B's has me intrigued.
Any opinions on the Adcom specifically or guidance in general is appreciated.
