Looking for a new pre-amp!!

At present I have a Belles OCM 200 Amp and looking to up grade to a better pre amp. Looking at a Adcom 565

Sunfire pre amp and Aragon 18k or 24 unit. Also thinking about the Emotiva usp 1 pre amp. I a two channel guy and looking for the best unit with a phono section and great sound.

Any ideals as to the best pick for under a 1000  dollars?

At Under $1000 you'll find several good pre's.... if you want an Adcom, you can grab a GFP750,  best preamp to ever come out with the Adcom label... Its passive and active both. I don't believe that It has phono, but there are several good phono sections cheap.... I can recommend a few, but I'll start with The DB Systems DB8.

 Tks Timlub,

                   That Adcom 750 does not come up for sale to often and they are asking for 800 to 1000 plus sometime . I have heard a lot of good things about that model.

Hi Wayne,
Looked on Ebay,  a few really nice bang for the buck...
Arte Forma Perla preamp
Muse Model 3 Signature
PS Audio PCA2
Parasound Classic 2100 (new inexpensive, but decent pre)
I hope this helps, Tim

To All ...how does that Emotiva usp-1 pre amp sounds? No tone controls or balance functions.
