Adcom pre amp versus Van Alstine


I am looking to buy a pre-amp and wondering which one might be a better pre-amp: Adcom GFP 750 or Audio by Van Alstine AVA ultra EC hybrid?

Appreciate your thoughts :)

@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.

@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.

I also paired it with the Denon pma 101 using it as a power amp. Still trying to figure out which one is a better match.
