the only thing that "scared" me off of the Adcoms w/tuner was the listings on ebay I was seeing that had "preamp section works great, but tuner quit working." I'd wager that 40% of the Adcoms I saw had this comment. I don't know, maybe they've ironed-out the problems on later equipment. That was enough to keep me from going Adcom w/tuner.
I just got a adcom with tuner, and alas the tuner worked, then didn't, then did.. now its doesnt work at all.. all in a short time since i just got it.. But the pre works great... its a 500II model pre-amp,

Paul, i was actually looking at this pre- the other day, but didnt really know what it was... Its a non powered pre i guess, passive... cool.. will you lose any volume from useing a passive compared to a regular pre-amp?

Get THIS and add a tuner to fit your budget.
Separates man, separates. A tuner REALLY needs its own power supply, and to be isolated from the amp / pre power supply.
Go passive, and you'll never go back to a sand preamp again.
