Adcom pre amp versus Van Alstine

I got the Adcom GFP 750 and tested it.

These are the other components:

Mcintosh Audio 2125 (power amp)
Cabasse artis baltic ii speakers and SVS SB2000 pro sub
Rega Planar 8 TT with Rega Ania Pro Moving Coil Cartridge
Bluesound Node 2, streaming from Qobuz
Teac ud-503b DAC
Audioquest cables

Previously I used the pre-amp option on Cambridge Audio CX81

The sound quality is incredible (at least compared to the Cambridge). Soundstage, precision and details have much improved. I am getting the Van Alstine next for the comparison!

I never tried the pre Amp option on the TEAC though.. 

@mrdmbman, not surprised you like the adcom (are you using the active or passive mode?)--it's a helluva good piece. curious to hear your comparison to the va.

@loomisjohnson i am using the active mode. 

@mrdmbman "...I am getting the Van Alstine next for the comparison!"

Paired with the 2125 amp, ill be curious what you report on which is weighty vs transparent at first, then with more time comparing - which one is more engaging and enjoyable to listen to [tolerable] long term in 3-4+ hour listening sessions.
