Threshold T3 vs. Adcom GFP-750

I'm not sure if the T3 and Pre30 would sound much alike. I do know that Primare recommends combining their components together for best results. Primare also told me their electronics would match well with Threshold's T series stuff, since the T series were designed by Bladelius, also. I'm not sure about the GFP-750 being bright, but I do know it's highly regarded by many, and was rated class A by stereophile. Have you thought about going with a tube preamp or trying different cables to tame your system?

Gslone,

I've thought about both of those options as well. Constraints have made it a bit difficult to find something for either solution. I think the amp really benefits from balanced input, and I want something with a remote for around $1k or less. As I know very little about balanced cables, I have no idea which ones might help (if any). Do you have suggestions? If I can keep the primare, I'd be happy to, it's a beautiful machine.

I also have a Primare Pre-30, but I dont find it to be Bright. I would say that its a lil on the Warm side!
I run my Pre-30 balanced with Odyssey S.E. Mono-Blocs.

I also had the Adcom 750, I would say that its Neutral in
both passive and Active modes. In the Active mode the 750
is very punchy with good bass!
